  A busy but really well-thought itinerary, which (if weather conditions allow) shows many sides of Bulgaria, its culture, touristic towns and villages, mountain trails and nature gems. A spot on was our guide Nadya, who did a great job to keep a multi-national group together at all times, and made her best to make every minute of our stay in her beautiful country a memorable experience for everyone.

  An action packed week, exploring the mountains and culture sites of Bulgaria. If you are looking for a leisurely paced holiday this tour is not a good option, as it literally keeps you busy all day long. But this was exactly the style of travel we were looking for and we enjoyed it a lot! We are already thinking to return and spend more time along the mountain trails only, as there are superb areas for hiking in Rila and Pirin. Highly recommended tour to those who cannot afford too much time and wish to see and explore as much as possible within 8 days.

  Time well spent exploring intensively the scenic hiking trails and culture sights of Bulgaria. Great combination of activities if you lack the time to allow 2 weeks and cover in detail the places we did. Nadya did a great job as a tourleader and Traventuria did just great as a host on this memorable holiday.

  It was a great tour. My only criticism was that there was perhaps a little too much packed in and we were frequently running late.

  The weather was dismal, we could not do most of the walks planned. There was no plan B or ability to reverse the order of the trip with the weather. All in all I will remember the rain and the road journey more than anything else. Plovdiv is not really worth visiting either, I would rather cut it out. The time travelling in a van is very extensive and does not leave much time for nature walks.

  Dear Carole, Thank you very much for your feedback. Unfortunately yours, and also several of our other hiking groups at the same time, have been badly affected by the Nefeli cyclone, which have been flooding Greece and Bulgaria in the past 10 days or... Show more

  What a great tour, and what a brilliant guide, who took care of a really colorful mixture of travelers from 6 countries: from couch potatoes to amateur athletes. The minibus that we took was modern and comfortable and the driver experienced, highly competent and friendly. The accommodation arranged for us was lovely, often family run hotels, with clean rooms with ensuite bathrooms and pleasant staff. The generous meals were all of delicious healthy local food, and all the restaurants were able to accommodate the requirements of the vegetarians in our party. Our guide took great care to organise walks that suited all of us, usually involving a loop walk for the entire party, with an additional loop extension in the middle for those who wanted more challenges, while the others could rest and enjoy the scenery. He set a pace that was manageable by the least fit of us, and gave sufficient directions to those who wished to walk ahead. He spoke excellent English and was always ready with information about the places we visited. All of us had an extraordinary time in Bulgaria, and we would love to return. Can't recommend Traventuria highly enough.
