My sister and I had an incredible time on the Vitosha tour! Eduard, our tour guide, did an excellent job by answering all of our questions and teaching us facts about Vitosha and Sofia. We were also walking at a very comfortable pace. We strongly recommended this tour to anyone looking for a mountain tour!

As a beginner he guide was very helpful. He even brought his hiking sticks to give out to anyone who needed it. The guide has a really passion and love for the mountains and it really shines through during the tour. I would highly recommend doing the tour in hiking boots and with a raincoat.

I would highly recommend this trip. We only have a few nights in Sofia so a half day adventure was perfect for us. Great tour guide, Edward, guided us on a beautiful walk through the forest to a wonderful view of Sofia. We saw the stone river. A truly incredible sight. Never seen anything like it! Edward is very knowledgeable and we had a great chat on the walk. I would recommend wearing good walking shoes as some paths are uneven as they are original Roman paths!

Thank you to Teodora for a fantastic experience. She picked us up promptly and was a great tour guide. We really enjoyed the walk and would recommend it to anyone visiting Sofia!

The tour guide Teodora was very friendly en informative. It was really nice being out of the city for one day to experience the beautiful nature just outside of Sofia. The view from the mountain was absolutely amazing!

We took this tour on a Saturday, during our stay in Sofia. The 2 of us were the only participants this day and we were promptly picked up from a location close to our hotel. The tour is exactly as described in the guide, but it does not convey the passion and knowledge Eduard has for Vitosha, he has discovered a beautiful, peaceful route through the forest following Roman roads (which can be a little stony in places), he adjusted the pace according to our fitness levels. The viewpoint is spectacular and very quiet, providing an amazing view of Sofia. We stopped at 2 mountain huts on the way where we were made most welcome. Good trainers are a must. The mountain roads were chockablock on the way down which made us appreciate the quietness of Eduard’s secret route!
