What people love about Bulgaria Tours
- Peaks & Lakes of the Pirin and Rila Mountains
A thoroughly enjoyable trip! The scenery was stunning, the route - well thought, allowing for Plan B in case of bad weather conditions, challenging at times but well worth it for the beautiful views from the summits. The hotels were good enough, considering this tour is not boutique (simple, but clean). I would highly recommend this tour, but make sure you prepare physically before you arrive! This was a great trip and seamlessly arranged by Traventuria. Loved it.
- Best of Bulgaria Roundtrip
Good trip, tour guide very knowledgeable on history, art and culture of Bulgaria and all other balkan states.
- Legends of Emperors and Crusaders , Wines, Traditional Cuisine. Museum Towns and Villages
Outstanding. Communications with the tour operators was smooth and seamless. The guide/driver (Stan) was superior. There wasn't a question or situation that he wasn't on top of. The accommodations were good to very good (using US standards) and the itinerary was very good to excellent. Food and beverages were very good. Bulgaria itself was nice though not, IMO, "bucket list worthy." It is not a nation easy to traverse if you have mobility issues with the usual old European "sortfalls" such as cobblestones, absence of ramps etc. I personally loved the "lack of tourists." I also particularly enjoyed learning about the wine culture and the history of this proud nation. Consider adding a few days on either side of the trip to explore Sofia on your own. Job well done!

"We 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.
