My wife and I had a wonderful experience on this bike tour! We are in our early 50s, and are in good shape, but are not regular cyclists, so candidly I was a little worried. However, the e-bike made the 30 kilometer trip just the right balance of challenging and manageable. The views along the Black Sea were fantastic, and our guide was great – – super friendly and knowledgeable about so many things (history, nature, geography, food, etc.) that we gained a much richer perspective on Bulgaria than we would have if we had not been on bicycles. Highly recommended!
Excellent guide and terrific cycling tour
Thank you for the comment and enjoy your clever and brave boys!
We had booked an e-bike tour at Plateau Ceycling at short notice. It was about Balcik and everything worked out great: Booking, pickup and the tour itself. It was a very nice tour of off-road trails, paved paths and bike paths along roads. Deyan provided us with a lot of information and “guided” us safely over stick and stone. Many thanks to Deyan for taking time for us despite an imminent 10-day bike ride. We would book another tour with him at any time.
The 4 hour ride with Deyan was wonderful. We went through diverse paths like sea side, fields, forest, small and big roads. It included gravel, dirt road, tar, side tracks and some walking on the sand. We ride bicycles in the city so have some experience, but not advanced. We took an ebike and normal bike each. It was relatively easy with ebike, the normal bike was more work as there is a small bit of uphill. We ended the tour satisfied with the pace and support Deyan gave us. I would recommend!
This was an incredible adventure! Such a wonderful tour of Varna, the countryside, and the seaside. Deyan did a fabulous job making sure we enjoyed the day and saw all the top places. He was very friendly and welcoming! We cycled close to 20 km, so medium fitness is needed. However, Deyan will stop and let you rest, if needed. I highly recommend this trip.
We were 5 with 3 teenagers who got up only at noon and they were delighted after this walk to have gotten up at 7am. Superb walk with well adapted rhythm
Deyan was a responsive host and very accommodating to the things we wanted to do. He was a great guide , providing interesting and useful information. Definitely recommend this trip!
Deyan was amazing! He took me on a solo ride that included some sweet country side single track and lots of historical sites! I highly recommend!
We had a great daytrip with Deyan. The communication and coordtination worked well. The Bikes we're good and he gave good inatructions about the trek and the culture ans landscape as well. All the best for you :)
ये हमारा पहला बाइक टुअर था और काफी मज़ेदार। दियान ने हमें 2-3 रूट ऑप्शंस दिए और हमें हमारी बाइक्स के बारे में जानकारी दी। हम लोगों ने 2.5 – 3 घंटे वारना के पास के गांवों को एक्सप्लोर किया और फिर थोड़ा समय बालचिक में व्यतीत किया। ये टुअर काफी अच्छा एक्सपीरियंस था और हम इसको काफी रिकमेंड करते हैं। :) Now for our friends who speak English. :) Overall, it was a wonderful experience to do a bike tour with Deyan. He explained everything very well and took us to explore the countryside around Varna and we spent a brief time in Balchik. This was our first bike tour ever and most certainly not the last one. Thanks to Deyan!
