Sofia Trekking and Hiking Tours 2024/2025

“We went on this tour by recommendation of friends who had previously visited Bulgaria and this same tour with this local travel specialist. Having been already on a few such hikes in the Alps and the Pyrenees we wanted to experience something different. And we got it! Stunning mountains, combined with perfect organization, very good accommodations and local food. Very good physical condition is a must if you wish to fully enjoy the hikes. But scenery has been rewarding throughout. We were lucky to be there when summer starts and meadows were filled with a variety of flowers, blooming right after the winter. Our guide even showed us a herd of mountain goats at the foot of Vihren. The program is designed in the best possible way. We had a day off with less activities, which was meant to provide more time for relax between the hikes in Rila and Pirin. And we made use of it by visiting one of the most famous tourist attractions in the country - the UNESCO heritage listed Rila Monastery. Overall great experience and highly recommended tour!”

“Following our positive impressions of Bulgaria from our first tour with this local travel specialist, we decided to opt for a self-guided experience, visiting this time one of the most remote regions of the country, close to the border with Greece. Naturally we booked this one with them too. Again the whole organization went very smooth. All local transfers were on time. The navigation materials we were given were very accurate and never let us down. We felt completely safe at all times, although on some of the hikes we didn't meet any other tourists at all. The whole experience walking unguided turned out to be one of our most memorable holidays ever. I dare to say we experienced the rural side of Bulgaria in one of the best possible ways, enjoying also great landscapes of uninhibited mountain ranges, isolated back roads, caves, gorges, rivers, meadows and dense forests. Local hosts have been most welcoming and food was really delicious. We were taken care of with hospitality and treated well during all breakfasts and dinners (especially in Lyaskovo village!). Definitely a place worth visiting before it gets popular.”

“The service provided by the local travel specialist was professional from collection in Sofia to drop off in Sofia at the end. The treks were excellent, challenging and offering stunning scenery. The hotels used as bases in the Pirin and Rilas mountains were perfect. The guide, Mitko, was endlessly enthusiastic and guided the group with a high level of professionalism and skill. He was highly informative on every aspect of the mountains, the regional geography, the history, the religious structures visited, the produce, cooking, music of each area. He went to great lengths to cater for the needs of individual I would be very happy and excited to join the agency in future for other activities.”
