Bulgaria Tours and Trips for Seniors

This trip helps to unravel some mysterious veil of the Balkan countries. The 7 countries we visited have so much histories to see with so many breathtaking sceneries of the old towns/cities, great traditional cultures, old historical architectural buildings of mosques, monasteries, churches and fortresses...etc., lots of very wonderful places and rich experiences for travellers to see with their own eyes.

I enjoyed the trip very much. The trip contained important places to visit in each city. The guides were helpful and polite. I have a few suggestions: You may want to add 1 extra day in Bulgaria as an optional or keep it for 2 days instead of one day. Also the English interpreters were always very short in description compared to the Spanish interpreters. It should be equal . Also suggest, a map of important REAS TO VISIT ON YOUR OWN to be provided each day so we are not looking for google maps and info on google to see what to visit. Hotels were excellent except for one hotel. I plan to take another trip with you but want to have some assurance that enough English speaking will be in the tour at least 10-15 and the tour guides are paying equal importance in description of our trip. Excellent coordination in picking up from airport and at all daily events. When I needed to call, I got only Spanish answers and not English and this is not helpful for an English speaking person.

Awesome few days of hiking. The hiking was challenging but very rewarding with varied terrain scenery. The overnight stay in the mountain hut was a highlight. Our guide Andrey was highly knowledgeable, organised and a great hiking companion.

Tour was professionally conducted and itinerary fully adhered to. Good coordination and there was no hiccups. Polite and helpful guides including, Johana, assigned English speaking guide, Victor, and local guide, Ani. Comfortable transportation, accommodation and good meals.

The trip was absolutely wonderful. Julian Perry is so enthusiastic and so so knowledgeable about the wildlife and flowers of the Rodopi mountains it is impossible not to have a great great holiday. The hotel is comfy and the food is delicious and Mari and her team can’t do enough to make sure you enjoy your stay.

This was a wonderful walking holiday with the added bonus of following the "theme" of the bears which live in the Rodopi mountain area. The walks were Moderate, but Julian led at a relaxing pace to ensure that we could explore the beauty of the flower meadows, butterflies and other wildlife. The hotel in the village of Yagodina was brilliant, with substantial and varied local cuisine, rooms to a good quality, and freindly staff. Despite four evening vists to the bear hide (we were only a small group) we didn't actually see any bears, but finding signs of them during the walks, such as footprints, marking treees, etc made us really feal that they were probably "behind you" all the time! Overall, a peaceful, relaxing and rewarding walking holiday.
