This tour to the Seven Rila Lakes was absolutely amazing! The beauty of landscapes is indescribable, and being surrounded by such pure nature is an experience that cannot be lost. The Guide was very attentive, knowledgeable and gave us fascinating information throughout the day, which made the tour even more enriching. The best thing was that being a small group, the experience was much more personalized and enjoyable. This allowed us to enjoy each stop to the full, ask questions and feel very well taken care of. The organization of the tour was impeccable, with comfortable and punctual transportation that made the journey very enjoyable. I recommend this tour without hesitation for those looking for an outdoor adventure with stunning scenery. An experience that exceeds expectations!

The 7 Rila Lake Guided Tour with Tsetso was fantastic. 🙂
Absolutely fantastic from pickup to drop off, Tsetso took wonderful, care of us. He is very knowledgeable and comes highly recommended. The hike and the 7 Rila Lakes were amazing. I felt very confident with Tsetso, as he is a qualified mountain guide amongst other things. We also booked and thourghly enjoyed the Rila Monastery tour, with Tsetso. Another fantastic adventure which was very well organised. On both of the tours I felt happy and safe in the vehicle and on the hike. Thank you for two brilliant adventures. 🙂🙂🙂
