It was an excellent day out. - The excellent service provided by the guide Dimitry, his English was excellent, he was knowlrgable, helpful, and extremely pleasant. We enjoyed the whole day out and the attractions visited , although we gave the dip in the thermal pools a miss two of the party in their eighties, one in her seventies and the fourth at the wrong end of her sixties.

Super - They did a half day tour just for me in an Audi big car.I loved their company and good recommendations.I ll definitely book them again.Only issue please let the payment thru credit card in the currency of customer.Cos mytrip charged in GBP and of no fault of mine refunded tje charged amount with a loss in currency exchange.I advise all cuatomers to avoid Mytrip bookings cos they give a lame excuse like technical fault to refund a lower amount back to customer.Get Yr Guide is good in that sense cos they carried out the tours well and there's no loss in exchange rates.
