Great tour of areas outside Sofia - Great tour guide. Flexible on what to do and what to see - including an impromptu trip to the history museum on the way back. Lots of interesting commentary. Very pleasant day.

Great day ! - We had a wonderful guide Yulian! Good driver and he told as a lot about the environment and life in Bulgaria. A very kind man. The Mountain View was wonderful just as the short climbing to the big rocks, the visit to the lake was wonderful. Yulian knew a good restaurant for lunch. Delicious and good food. We really enjoyed this trip!

Great day out - Great day out with a passionate local guide with an obvious love of the beauty of Bulgaria. The mountain was quite misty but it didn’t detract from the visit. Lunch at a famous mountain restaurant with a selection of Bulgarian treats then a walk around the lake/reservoir.

Vitosha and Pancharevo a breath of air - Excursion with my mother who walks with crutches, so we did not do hiking but we loved the climb, the landscapes, the views of Sofia from the mountain. Then our guide Christian took us to visit Lake Pancharevo and there we ate overlooking the lake in a wonderful restaurant. Thanks for everything to our guide!!!!! He helped us with everything and was very kind and correct.

Nice day out from the vity - We had a trip to the Vitosha mountains and Lake Pancharevo. Our guide Simeone was really good and gave us lots of information. He was punctual and very friendly Vitosha mountain is beautiful and it was nice to get out of the city. The lake was ok and we walked all around it but the one side of the lake meant walking along a main road and in hindsight we would have only done the one side of the lake.

Vitosja mountains and lake - We had a good time with our guide Vasil. He was careful in the car, the car was good and he has choosen a good restaurant for us. The view from the mountain at Sofia was wonderful. Maybe the organisation can organize a visit at the Boyana church (Unesco) in the future? We could have a view from the outside. Thanks Vasil!

Too expensive, overpriced - We were dropped off at the lake and the mountain but not guided. At the lake you can't see the lake but only trees. The guide was on the phone several times and did not talk much. 130€ for something that was rather a taxi ride than a tour seems overpriced to us.
