Great experience with this company and my tour guide! - This was an INCREDIBLE day! My tour guide was Marin and he was so knowledgable and shared so much about the region, the country, the landscape, the flowers, the various mountain ranges, and so much more. We had an incredible day of hiking and I loved that we were flexible about our itinerary based on the crowds. I would highly recommend this trip. I had even forgotten to pack a phone charger and Marin found a store for me to buy one on the way! In addition, the communication with the company as well as Marin was clear and they were very responsive. It was a great experience all around.

My favorite part of Bulgaria! - My favorite part of Bulgaria! Unfortunately, the lifts weren’t open while we were there, which I was really looking forward to seeing the lakes, but we pivoted and went on a beautiful hike instead.
