    Review of: Tour to Lovech, Devetaki cave & Krushuna waterfalls
    A very enjoyable trip
    We as a senior couple really enjoyed this trip in every aspect on a beautiful May day.
    From the first until the last moment we connected well with our guide Maria.
    She was very kind, helpful, enthusiastic, was proud about her country and so happy to talk about geography, history, daily life, food, language… in a pleasant way.
    We felt safe and well looked after during the whole trip in a good balance of holding the group together and the freedom to have some time on our own. The atmosphere was lovely, we had the company of two young couples, different nationalities which made the conversations even more interesting.
    We loved the places we have seen and the time was well used.
    We had a lovely traditional meal in a beautiful place.
    We definitely can recommend the trip and we will use this concept again on our next trip.
    A lovely careless way to explore the beauty of this country.

    Review of: Day Tour to Nis, Serbia - Small group
    Wonderful - a must do!!!
    It was such a wonderful day! Our guide (who I have had last year for a different tour) is so knowledgeable with history, culture, facts and funny stories. I learned so much about Serbia and Bulgaria. He’s an excellent driver - lots of construction to drive through and he did it flawlessly! I look forward to another tour through Bull Tours here in Sofia. I have done several before and all the guides they have hired are amazing!!!! It was a great experience!!!

    Review of: Wine Tasting in Heart of Sofia
    Great experience!
    We had a great time at the wine tasting - delicious wines, accompanied by very nice local cheeses, in a lovely setting in the wine shop. We bought as many wines as we could fit in our suitcases to bring home! Kalin was an attentive host and made us feel very welcome. Highly recommended if you’re visiting Sofia!

    Review of: Balkan Horse Riding - Glozhene Monastery Ride
    Horseriding Sofia
    Wonderful experience! I was a little nervous but I quickly got comfortable! I would come back! Anton, the instructor was very knowledgeable, friendly and passionate. He took me on a beautiful route to get to the Glozhine monastry which was very scenic and peaceful. The horses are very well trained and easy to ride. If you are thinking of doing this experience, book it now! 10 out 10.

    Review of: Plovdiv Full Day Tour from Sofia
    Amaizing
    The trip was great! The van is very neat and clean, everything was on time and with will 😀. I would especially commend our guide Martin who with his dedication and enthusiasm was an added value to the trip. He really did his best not to make the trip boring and commonplace. Martin has a great sense of humor and is very attentive. He was equally at the service of all of us. It was a very amusing trip. Heartfelt recommendation - try to arrange for Martin to be your guide - you will certainly not regret it.

    Review of: Skopje North Macedonia Day Tour from Sofia
    Excellent!
    A long day (4 hours each way) but so very enjoyable! We were collected by our Guide Ivan, who was super professional & knowledgable, whilst also friendly. A great combination & our group of 3 girls felt very safe in his company.
    The drive was very pretty once off the Highway & it was lovely to see some of the Bulgarian/North Macedonian countryside. Ivan was flexible with pitstops according to needs. Skopje is a really interesting place to visit. So much history & it retains a more Eastern feel than its neighbour. The post earthquake regeneration is pretty impressive, certainly a lot of statutes to admire!
    Lunch was very pleasant & I loved seeing where Mother Teresa was born.
    If you have time whilst in Sofia, this is a great way to spend a day & get a taste of another country. Recommended.

    Review of: 7 Rila Lakes Self-Guided Shared Trip from Sofia
    Overall great experience
    Everything about this trip was great! The Rila national park is outstanding and the transfer was a wise choice as well! Our driver (Philip) was right on time, very informative and willing to answer every question and provide us with tips about the tour and also gave us a map to use which was really helpful. The van was confortable with A/C and the drive was pleasant. Had a great time and i totally recommend it to everyone! Thank you Philip!

    We spend the whole day with Chris, exploring the 2 cities. The touristic guide is so professional and ready to reply to all of your curiosities. I really appreciated the fact that he is not only a "worker" for the company, but he is really passionate about his job!
