The best tour guide ever!! Insightful, polite and so full of knowledge! For 12 hours not one thing they said wasn’t interesting or funny. Knew everything and got so much knowledge about history, current affairs and modern events and historical events. Excellent driver, guide and overall I can’t recommend this tour enough!! 10/10, 5 stars.

Highly recommend. We had a really good time on this trip. We heard lots of history and got to see a good amount of Bulgaria in one day. We had an amazing lunch at Bey house which was one of the best restaurants I've ever been to (out of the 28 countries I've been to) and had delicious Turkish coffee. I highly recommend buying the melon and orange Turkish delights to take home for gifts and some rose hand cream. We listened to music and relaxed on the comfortable bus and had a dream day exploring. Have already recommended to friends visiting. Only downside is that these countries are not the most LGBT friendly with comments which was awkward for us but it was very safe. I will be taking some family to do this trip in the future.

We had a very good tour with our driver-guide, Alex. Informative, patient, polite - and knows how to bring the travelers of the minibus together. Plus - he knows a lot about the Romanian and Bulgarian history. Very much recommended.
