Great exploration for children and adults - We can only recommend this tour. I booked this excursion for my four-year-old son and me and although historical sights are boring for small children, our guide managed to get my son excited about the beauty of the places. He was both a children's entertainer and a tour guide at the same time. As an adult, you also learn a flood of historical knowledge.
In short, this private tour is suitable for anyone interested in Bulgarian and regional culture and history, as well as for families with children.

A must do in Varna! - What a great tour! The guide is extremely knowledgeable, and he goes out of his way to ensure you have the best time! This is a great way to hit the highlights in the area. I learned a lot about the Varna area, with a diverse range of topics and discussions. Plus, the guide catered to my interests, which is so important when you spend a day together! I also never felt rushed. I absolutely recommend booking this tour. The sites are all must-see, and the stories were very interesting. He also speaks perfect English! Lastly, I have mobility issues, and he made sure I was comfortable and helped me when I needed assistance. Thank you for a wonderful day!
