Flexible, knowledgeable and great guide / company. - Great planning. Kiril helped us with planning and adjusting the trail according to our needs.
Kiril is very knowledgeable and his added value to the tour is really great.
We have enjoyed his company, guides and knowledge in our two days tour in Vitosha without the snow shoes.
We recommend Kiril and we will contact him for future trails with more friends.

Biking in Bulgaria - we all arrived safely back to Israel. Wow is all we can say. We had a wonderful time and very much appreciate the great care and attention to details that both of you,Pano & Orlin, took to ensure our trip was spectacular and amazing. You guys are great professionals in all respects - riders, guides and have the personal human touch. The memories from this trip will certainly last a lifetime, BUT since men have short memories anyways, we must do this again next year!!!Looking forward to receiving the pictures. Please come to see us soon. We promise to return the favor and take you to our trails.
Thank you again from all of us at the Holy land.
