Great outdoor adventure! - Tour was amazing, would strongly recommend. They contacted me the day before to advise of some bad weather but I only had one chance to make this work so I decided to go in the rain and wind. Be prepared for your trip with proper hiking boots, rain jacket, hiking pants and proper fitness condition. Expect altitude of 2500m+. Would definitely go again.

Exceptional day - The day before the excursion, the company boss calls to warn me that the weather will certainly not allow the planned hike for safety reasons. He warns me that the Guide will offer me an alternative by picking us up at the Pension. Laura picks us up on time. We're alone with her all day. She is very friendly and organizes the day well. She listens to us and leaves us a choice. An unforgettable day, even if we did not go to Pirin.

Outstanding experience of Sifnos! - thank you Anna! - So glad Anna's article in The Guardian about Sifnos caught our attention and thankful we accepted her invitation to experience it with all of our senses for ourselves. A stunningly beautiful little island in The Cyclades, Sifnos is a hiker's paradise! Anna of Sifnos Hiking organised everything we needed to know so expertly and professionally. She accommodated individuals' needs seemingly effortlessly and we felt we were walking as longstanding friends. Her walks covered dramatically contrasting areas of the island and her knowledge of flora, fauna, history etc is vast. This unspoilt island treasure boasts ancient history, a deep respect of tradition, breath-taking scenery and all in heavenly peace. It's a haven of tranquility where lives are simply led, cuisine is a delight and all are so welcoming and friendly - a truly inspirational, humbling and beautiful experience. Booking up for next year!

Incredible landscapes; awesome guide - The drive from Sofia to Bansko was very comfortable. The hike was incredible; especially the views from above the lakes. Definitely the most beautiful scenery I have seen. Bansko is also a must-visit place in Europe - very charming little town. My guide, Georgi, was the best - definitely ask for him.
