Unforgettable Trip with an Amazing Guide – Stoyan! I had an incredible experience on this trip! Everything was perfectly organized, and the schedule allowed us to see and do so much without ever feeling rushed. What truly made the tour special was our guide, Stoyan. He was knowledgeable, professional, and incredibly friendly. Stoyan shared so much interesting history and local insight, and he made everyone feel welcome and engaged throughout the journey. Thanks to him, the trip was not only fun but also meaningful. I highly recommend this tour—and especially Stoyan—to anyone looking for a fantastic travel experience!
Balkan Cycling (Bulgaria)What a wonderful tour through Bulgaria. Our guide Tsveto was knowledgeable, accommodating, and passionate about sharing his experience with us. He made our tour fun & interesting . All hotels were comfortable & centrally located to our needs. Thank you Across Europe for making Bulgaria a memorable journey.
Legends of Emperors and Crusaders , Wines, Traditional Cuisine. Museum Towns and VillagesThe printed guide and organisation of the final itinerary were excellent. We were glad we changed the itinerary to add a night in Kazanlak between Plovdiv and Nessebar as it was a long way to drive, and as there are many interesting sights around Kazanlak: we also visited Shipka Church and Pass which were well worth seeing as we had a bit of extra time there. Due to the long drive to get to coastal Bulgarian areas, we would have liked an extra night there, probably in Varna which suited our historical interests. Both guided tours in Sofia and Veliko Tarnovo were excellent and very informative. We appreciated the extra time spent with Sofia in Veliko Tarnovo giving us a guided tour of the Tsarevets Fortress and also sights in the town. Overall the sights in Bulgaria including historic and natural were a pleasant surprise.
