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.Show more

Amazing hiking tour, every day offers a unique experience and a variety of scenery. Metody is a fantastic guide very knowledgeable and funny. His enthusiasm for hiking and the history of Bulgaria take this tour to the next level. A reasonable level of fitness and hill walking stamina is required for this trip. You will need to use your hands to scramble over some boulders, but nothing too technical, if you are confident walking in the Lake District or Scotland this trip will be suitable for you. I loved every moment of this trip.Show more
