Great experience! - I've taken many day trips during my travels in Europe and this was one of the best ones I've been on. One reason is due to the driver and tour guide, Narcis. He is easygoing, knowledgeable, and a great driver. There is plenty of walking so be prepared. Wear comfy shoes, bring water, and bring a snack since the tour begins pretty early in the day and it might be too early for breakfast. Narcis took our group to a Bulgarian restaurant and recommended authentic dishes to try. He was right. The food was pretty great! This was a fun experience and I learned a lot. Highly recommend Narcis and this tour!

BEST TOUR you could book - We are renowned travel influencers from Dubai , if you love to travel and enjoy great food, follow us on insta : @vibrant_wanderer_rhythm This tour is the highlight of our stay in Bulgaria. Narcis was our tour guide for the day and I must say you are in BEST hands, such an amazing guide. If companies hire such guides we are certain that the business would grow. We have travelled over 35 countries , done many tours but the dedication, the warmth, the smooth flow of events , just everything was perfect with Narcis . We were picked up on time from our hotel. All points on itinerary covered and beyond. Very informative tour. Engaging. Fun. We all enjoyed Bulgarian local food for lunch (not included) , loved it. Thanks to our guide to explain us all the dishes and make apt recommendations. Don’t miss a chance to experience this 10/10

Wonderful group, guide, and day in Bulgaria - Our tour guide Narcis was excellent including our small group of 7. It was a bit rainy but the weather held up. We enjoyed the tour guide, his knowledgeable tour, and Bulgaria for the day. We did not feel rushed. I believe because the group was small and we were really enjoying each other's company, it was perfectly paced. Thank for a wonderful day. I do recommend taking snacks and water for the ride going and returning. It is a long day but worth every second.

A good day trip from Bucharest - The guide, Narcis, was very knowledgeable. Everything was great. There was a lot of walking and climbing, so make sure to have a good breakfast before the trip. I left my hat at the place where we had lunch, and Narcis was kind enough to go back and get it for me. I also got some time to spend alone. Overall, I was satisfied with the trip.
