Personalized tour, highly recommended - I highly recommend this company. On January I was in Bulgaria and wanted to make a tour through Buzludzha, Shipka and several nearby places, which are not so touristy; I was travelling alone and in low season, so it was very difficult to get a tour, and most of all at a reasonable price. I got in touch with them through WhatsApp and from the first moment they had the best predisposition, they offered me a personalized tour, at an affordable price and they fulfilled everything they promised. The driver arrived on time, was really friendly, patient with the stops I wanted to make and the photographs, he offered me full cooperation, and the tour went just as I expected, place by place. They were even really kind to leave me at the end in a town that was not in the original route so I could take a bus to continue my trip. Don't hesitate to contact them, I absolutely recommend this tour, thanks a lot to them!

Unforgettable Journey to Buzludzha Monument in Veliko Tarnovo - I recently embarked on a tour to the Buzludzha Monument in Veliko Tarnovo, and it was an experience beyond compare. The journey began with a scenic drive through the picturesque Bulgarian countryside, setting the tone for what was to come. We enjoyed the cultural heritage of the site and the hospitality of the guide. We are extremely thankful for all the help and support!

Highly recommend! - We did the half day trip to Shipka and Buzludzha and also the off road safari to Arbanasi with Damien. This was one of the highlight of our time in Bulgaria! Damien is very passionate about his work and gave us a lot of information on the history of Bulgaria. We had a lot of fun and would definitely recommended people to join the tour when they are in Veliko Tarnovo.

good! - Now the Buzludzha is forbidden to enter, and there is a guard outside. But the buiiding (or ruins) itself is still amazing. The guide was friendly and told us a lots about Bulgaria.
