- David· August 31st, 2023We really enjoyed the excellent communication from Emiliana and we found every detail of the organisation to be perfect. We had a delightful day with our very knowledgeable and engaging guide from Varna. We thought all the hotels were well placed and comfortable. The hire car was very good and all arrangements for it went smoothly. We very much appreciated the suggested place to visit and did our best to cover all of them. We also enjoyed the meals arranged for us. In short, we loved Bulgaria and would happily recommend your company to anyone.Show more
- Adele· June 27th, 2023Our Bulgaria trip was outstanding as we covered so much each day all of which was so interesting as well as varied. Our guide Milena was very professional. She explained each exploration carefully allowing us to process the history of the country and the impact of other Eurpean forces on the land. Her language ability was precise. She led us through the aims of each day and guided us through towns and fortresses and in and out of so many features such as tombs and churches and food. I cannot thank her enough for making the trip so memorable. George , our driver was expert at his job. He was polite and caring and good company too.Show more
- Alexandra· May 29th, 2023This tour was amazing. Emiliana connects with you instantly and is super responsive, accommodating and professional throughout the trip - she answered all of our pre trip questions and during the trip was very helpful and made us feel connected throughout the trip as though we had a guide but were on our own! The trip itself is full way to see this beautiful country and allows a few add ons if desired or subtraction as well. This is full independent trip. Driving in Bulgaria was easier than expected and the overall logistics of this trip are very well thought out and comfortable timing and relaxation time. Bulgaria is a jewel of a country and it shouldn't be overlooked as a great destination to explore the layers of history, the fresh foods, the wonderful people and spirit of an Eastern Balkan country. End of May was the perfect time to explore as well. Thank you to Emiliana again!!Show more
