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!

Excellent daytrip around the Black Sea - Excellent tour which can be customized to your interests. Strahil spoke perfect English and was friendly, flexible and engaging. As we would reach a site he would provide a story which would give you context to the location, for example he could tell you about Queen Marie of Romania and her insight and inspiration for the botanical gardens of Balchik Palace. He would explain the myths of Cape Kaliakra. Most importantly he gauged the tour around your interests, capabilities and needs. If you are looking for an excellent daytrip, I highly recommend this tour. You get excellent value for money, comfortable and clean amenities, and a well versed tour guide. Beyond my son's wedding, this was my favorite event while in Bulgaria. I highly recommend.

Really good experience with a knowledgeable guide - The trip was amazing, we managed to see a lot of attractions, snapped also a few great shots on the way while having fun! The guide’s explanations were really good time-oriented with precise time orientation, he was able to provide the years for all of this guides. Be prepared for the trip in advance, grab a hat & a pair of sunglasses in order to get some protection from the sun, in July the sun is burning a little bit so take precautions.

Brilliant Bulgarian Black sea coastal tour with the phenomenal Travelness tour company! - We had the most amazing time! Strahil was so engaging and judged our interests perfectly. My teens are in awe of him, my 12 year old said he bought history to life and my 13 year old said he was really interesting to talk to. A great blend of history, outdoor adventures, current affairs and Bulgarian culture. The route was varied throughout and we got the chance to see the real Bulgaria with very informed, educated commentary from Strahil. He was incredibly easy going and kept us on schedule without us ever feeling rushed, in fact we felt like we were in charge the whole time! Booking and arranging the trip was incredibly easy and his written and spoken english is superb. He also gave us great advice and recommendations for the rest of our holiday. He even converted my non fish eating family with the amazing lunch at the mussel farm!

He is also entertaining, fun, engaging and extremely accommodating. Five star plus. In addition, he has wide experience and knowledge in other areas, a constant source of conversation, information and pleasure. He is superb. Very competent, informed, helpful, knowledgeable...Excellent and well chosen.
