It is a professionally organized trip where you can enjoy the Rafting Tour and admire Bulgaria's wonderful Rila Monastery. Founded in the 10th century it is a unique Unesco Heritage site and in all of Europe can only be rivaled by Mesquita Cathedral in Cordoba, Spain, We had a great time.
A day full of sport, emotion, diving and culture, our guide Stefan was able to accompany us with anecdotes about current society and Bulgarian history throughout the journey. I also appreciated the stop at the typical kiosk for lunch. Wonderful experience, I recommend it!
They canceled the evening before the trip, without saying the reason. I suspect it’s not even about bad weather cause they didn’t propose another day
Hello , unfortunately this tour happens to be sometimes dependant on weather conditions, we appologise for this situation there were exceptional rains which made rafting expereience dangerous.
Great experiences and great guides. Not so much water in river but normal for a summer I believe. Rila is also nice
