Anton was a brilliant guide! This place has incredible views and is definitely worth the trip Be aware that lunch options on a Monday are more limited as the good places are closed, so pick another day if you can
Just great. Nice guide wo drove carefully and accommodating. The guide gave me as much time as I wanted to enjoy the stunning view 🤩. What’ perfect: he showed me nice spots on the area to have the best view and angles. Just excellent! Thanks a lot.
It was a great trip to an interesting site. Our guide was well informed, helpful and good company. The vehicle was comfortable and he drove safely, mindful of our needs.
Doesn't get any better. Ventsislav was our guide and one of the best we've had in our 60 years of worldwide traveling. Showed up on time in a very comfortable vehicle. Safe, courteous, excellent driver. Venty was extremely knowledgable about his country, friendly, humorous , polite and EXTREMELY helpful during our walks and climbs in more difficult areas. He needs to be cloned and to train others in the tourism industry. The drive and destinations were worth every minute of the very scenic drive and destination...Great Tour! Guides don't get any better than Ventsislav!
Nice experience good driver knowledgeable and friendly nice excursion nice go back again especially venetsa cave
One of the most stunning places I’ve ever visited. The tour guide was knowledgeable and ensured everyone got the most out of the experience and was well taken care of. An unforgettable experience.
The Belogradchik Fortress and Rocks are stunning. There’s a bit of a climb on the stairs to reach the top of the hill but then you’ve got amazing views for the rocks and mountains. The drive there is long tho and with just one sight visited we didn’t feel it was quite worth all the money we paid as there was no visit to the caves that were described in the itinerary.
My sister and I really enjoyed this tour! Our guide was very helpful and experienced. He explained a lot about the historical and cultural background of the places we saw. He also made sure we were prepared for the weather and was vey punctual and hospitable.
It was an amazing time with a lot of quality and free time to use at the places. Lots of informations and extra recommendations for other trips and ideas for the upcoming days. He also was super accommodating and friendly. We had a beautiful time together and enjoyed our private trip a lot! He also is a very good and careful driver with a lot passion to bring his guests save from A to B.
This is a wonderful day trip out of Sofia. Really a Bulgaria highlight. Something that starts with a stunning drive through a brilliant mountain pass. The views are second to none on-site and it isn't super busy. 11/10, would recommend any time.
