It was a private tour for the two of us. The guide-driver was very kind and prepared. He helped us at all times, even with matters not strictly related to the excursion. A great person.
It was a great tour. Anton is a really nice guide, he was really helpful with all the questions and he also offered some recommendations. The best part was to have the feeling that you were going on a trip with friends, totally recommended!
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.
