Seven Rila Lakes Excursão guiada de Sofia com almoço e primavera quente

What an Amazing day!! I booked the Rila 7 lake tour with lunch and spa pools. Simeon picked Me up from my apartment then onwards bound, the hike was very rewarding as the views are absolutely fabulous and breathe takingly stunning. The lunch in the local restaurant was delicious and went down great with a nice glass of wine all whilst taking more great views then a nice relax, max and futher chillax in the spa pool, from natural mineral waters from the geezer just down the road. I felt like a new woman for sure!! Afterwards Simeon dropped me back to my apartment. Simeon was a great host, with all the equipment needed, knowledge of the area and very friendly who made us feel very comfortable in his company. Thank You Simeon, definitely a day I will not forget!!

I went with my mum and another 2 people on the tour. As it was such a small group it was very relaxed and we could choose the length/difficultly of the hike as well as how long we wanted to stay at the spa. Simeon and his colleague were both lovely and very accommodating. On the day we went out, the chair lift was €16 each and the spa entrance was €10 each.

From the hotel pick-up to the return the day was beautiful. The guide was very friendly and very open, they taught us a lot about Bulgaria, so we first drove, then took the chairlift (at your expense) to get to the top.Here the guide offers us several hiking routes according to our level, we chose the one that leads to the viewpoint. Arriving there the band wanted to turn around but the guide kindly proposed to continue a little further solo (because I was not full). So I continued on my own then joined them on the way back. We were finally able to eat at the chalet in the mountains (don’t expect great food). Finally we went back down then took the road to the spa. I thought that the spa was optional and took no business...once again the guide kindly offered to go see a (magnificent) waterfall with him while the others were at the spa. In the end the whole group was happy with their day, everything went well as planned, a day full of beautiful memories!

Pick-up: 5/5 Simeon arrived about 20 minutes early but didn’t announce it, so I could walk to the car at my own pace as agreed. This made the start of the day very relaxed and comfortable. Ride: 5/5 We were a small group of five people, which made the ride very enjoyable. Simeon and his colleague were friendly, positive and very talkative, creating a great atmosphere in the car. Mountain tour: 5/5 Everything was explained clearly and carefully. The group was split so everyone could walk at their own pace, with one guide at the front and one at the back. The climb was challenging but absolutely beautiful, easily worth a 5/5 on its own. Lunch: 5/5 We stopped at a local restaurant at the foot of the mountain. I asked to be surprised and was served meat with potatoes and roasted peppers. It was outstanding and one of the best meals I’ve had in Bulgaria so far. Spa: 5/5 After the hike we visited a geyser spa with multiple pools at different temperatures. The perfect place to relax after a long climb. Overall: 5/5 The tour officially ended at 4:00 PM, but we returned to the hotel around 7:30 PM. Simeon never rushed us and truly enjoyed the experience together with the group. Summary: An excellently organized tour with personal attention, flexible pacing, great food and a relaxing spa. Highly recommended.
