One of the best privately-guided tours I've ever taken - What a nice experience. We booked the privately-guided option. We were picked up from our hotel in Veliko Tarnovo at the arranged time. The local guide was fabulous. So many things shared which cannot be read anywhere. Veliko Tarnovo is very beautiful and with this tour we absorbed the local culture, cuisine and lifestyle.

A remarkable experience! - The guide was superbly knowledgeable and very personable! The in-depth information during the tour of the fortress and old town was educational and entertaining; exactly what I wanted! You can see several eras clearly in the fortress and the traditional construction in the narrow streets of the old quarter of Veliko Tarnovo are remarkable! I strongly recommend.

TOUR COMPANY IS A SCAMMER! BE AWARE! - If the website would allow me to give 0 star, I would. I booked a tour and pick up time was confirmed by the tour agent. However, on the day of the tour it was cancelled cause my hotel was outside the pick up radius. Meanwhile, I was offered to pay double the price for the tour agent to pick me up. What a shame! They refused to give me a refund. STAY AWAY FROM THIS TOUR COMPANY! THEY ARE SCAMMERS!
