Challenging & interesting day - We met Dobrin at the cable car, and it was only thanks to him that we climbed the mountain to the starting point because the cable car was not working. On the way we got a lot of information about mushrooms. Dobrin adjusted the walking pace to ours, and along the way enriched us with knowledge about the politics of Bulgaria. It was a challenging and interesting day.

Best - This was one of my best trips ever The guide is totally professional and knowledgeable , also great with nature and helpful , even encouraged me to do the extra mile and climb the whole thing which was amazing , he explained a lot about the country and the nature of the place , for the hot springs it’s very nice dip but very crowded on weekends with kids

Rila winter snow walk magical - Great way to start the year . Dobrins terrain expertise made the snow hike a piece of cake. The views of the mountains and frozen lakes were spectacular, the equipment provided was good. Can’t wait to go back and give it another try :-) Highly recommend this trip with Dobrin

Sofia to Rila lakes and Rila monastery - I and my friends who were visiting from Amsterdam decided to book one day trip to Rila Lakes and Rila Monastery with Dobrin. He picked us up from our Airbnb in Sofia early in the morning and within 1.5hr we reached Rila Lakes. Dobrin is an excellent driver, very careful, and also took all our needs into consideration. He is also very knowledgable and provided us with a lot of nice and interesting facts about the lakes and the monastery. He did the entire tour in English which was also very much appreciated. If you are looking for someone who is nice, friendly, understanding, knowledgeable, with a good command of English and a great driver, Dobrin is the right person for you. I strongly recommend him.
