Reviews for Bulgaria

Excellent! From start to finish, Anna has been exceptionally helpful, providing us with a detailed itinerary, train tickets, transfer vouchers and hotel details. She was also available throughout had we needed her. We highly recommend this company. read more

A really wonderful holiday for our family of older teenagers and young adults. There was something for everyone, and just the right balance of history, activity, and culture.read more

The scenery in general, it is so unspoilt with native plants, meadows and wildlife in general. It was a special place to visit. We had the mountains to ourselves, it was nice not to rush, although we did decent walks, to stop and observe.. and our guide Julian was incredibly knowledgeable. He seems so committed to the area and so passionate so it felt like a privilege to be on this trip with him. read more

The hikes were amazing! Unbelievably beautiful!read more

We visited some nice places eg Sofia, Veliko Tarnovo, but nowhere that stands out as particularly memorable or exciting.read more

Our hosts were wonderful. All transfers were on time; food was excellent and local. Both are designed to be flexible (they asked us when, to confirm). Also, it was wonderfully reminiscent of growing up in the American West. It looks very much like the Washington Cascades, Alaska and Colorado Rockies.read more

The stay at the farm in Gorno Pole was so memorable. It was wonderful.read more

The most memorable part was our visit to the Zagreus Winery just outside Plovdiv. Not only did we get to taste wine, but we blended our own wine which we bottled, corked and sealed and brought home.read more

The natural environment was really impressive. Somebody had gone to lengths to find short but memorable walks for some of this holiday. The Canyon of Waterfalls and Smolyan lakes were interesting, peaceful and well marked out. The trip to Varbovo was good and the Strulitsa Eco-Path was the highlight of these walks. We extended our time in Devin so that we could explore more of this region and this river. read more

The final walk, out of Devin, was wonderful. Different types of terrain, waterfalls, a ruined Roman fort, views over the mountains, forests and walkways over the streams.read more

The most memorable part of the trip was... walking from Yagodina to Trigrad - the path was easy to follow and the scenery was absolutely breathtaking. To be so high up in the mountains with nature and eventually descend to overlook Trigrad on the way down was amazing.read more

Brilliant, on my next visit I would love to make the most of some of the other walks, it all comes with confidence, but with the benefit of hindsight, we could have used the walking app better and maybe been a little more adventurous. read more

Walking in the mountains through unspoilt meadows where the only sounds were birdcalls and an occasional sheep bell was balm to the soul.read more

Highlights were Veliko Tarnovo (especially Hotel Gurko), Plovdiv, and the hosts at Boyana Guest House (Vratsa) & Guest House Deshka (Gorno Draglishte) were great fun.read more
