Was very satisfied with how well rounded the tour was. Visiting the Buzludzha was a bucket list item, so was pleased to tick that off. The guide was informative, warm, and hospitable. Would strongly recommend!🛸
A very comfortable ride. Martin, our guide was very knowledgeable. Everything right on schedule, professional driving, lots of insights. Overall highly recommended.
What an amazing experience, I’m so glad I did it. Kiko was the best guide ever, so knowledgeable and always ready to answer my question. 10/10 without doubts.
