Both my wife and I had an absolutely fantastic time. Honestly, I would give this experience more than the 5 stars if I could. It did not feel like a paid tour at all, but more like a fun exploration with a new friend. I am really impressed by both the knowledge of our guide and also his desire to show us a country he obviously loves very much. He was always more than happy to have us stop and take pictures and explore more than what was first planned, which I loved a lot. Again, totally awesome trip!

Wir haben die Tour am 24.12. gemacht, was für ein Datum um die Hektik Sofias hinter sich zu lassen. Wir waren sehr froh, überhaupt an diesem Datum eine Tour buchen zu können.Dank des schlechten Wetters wurden wir von unserem Guide Lyuben direkt am Hotel abgeholt, weitere Gäste gab es heute nicht. Lyuben entpuppte sich als sehr belesener Experte in bulgarischer Geschichte und erzählte uns viele spannende Episoden aus der Vergangeheit. Trotz zeitweiligem Schneechaos brachte er uns sicher zu den einzelnen Punkten der Tour. Zwischendurch blieb auch Zeit, regionale Produkte zu probieren und zu kaufen, selbst ein Nagel im Reifen konnte uns nicht stoppen. Alles in allem ein toller Trip am Weihnachtstag und 100 Dank an unseren tollen Fahrer!
