    L'organizzazione del tour è stata come da programma. I driver si sono presentati puntualmente al momento della partenza ed erano presenti al nostro arrivo al termine delle camminate. I driver guidano in modo responsabile e sicuro sia sulle strade normali che sui terreni accidentati. C'è stato un piccolo disguido sul noleggio dei bastoncini, abbiamo chiesto un rimborso che è arrivato immediatamente, prima della fine del tour.

    I have travelled internationally a great deal and typically really enjoy pulling together arrangements myself. With the Rila-Pirin trek, I followed a friend's advice and gave all of the arrangement-making over to Traventuria. I wanted to only have to think about the beauty and challenges of the Rila and Pirin mountains each day and not whether my reservations were vulnerable to unexpected events. Traventuria took excellent care of us - easily moving us (and our bags) from inn to inn and locally for the daily walks, and sorting all the places we stayed. Orientation materials were top-notch! Thank you, guys!

    A thoroughly enjoyable trip! The scenery was stunning, the route - well thought, allowing for Plan B in case of bad weather conditions, challenging at times but well worth it for the beautiful views from the summits. The hotels were good enough, considering this tour is not boutique (simple, but clean). I would highly recommend this tour, but make sure you prepare physically before you arrive! This was a great trip and seamlessly arranged by Traventuria. Loved it.
