Snow Shoeing Adventure - Dobrin took us on an incredible snow shoeing adventure in the mountains near Bansko. Every minute of it was magical, and Dobrin is a wonderful guide with lots of knowledge about the wildlife and local geology. His carefully planned itinerary, expert knowledge and warm company made it a really memorable day- thank you Dobrin!

Great hike in beautiful mountains - I wanted to do a great hike in the mountains whilst the rest of my family were skiing as I don’t ski - this was a fantastic tour - my guide Mitko was great, so friendly, tailored the walk exactly to my level and ensured I was ok at all times. Only disappointment was when we reached the hut at the top of the mountain there was no one there so no hot drinks/soup - tbf you are asked to bring snacks etc which I had done so I didn’t go hungry! The scenery is stunning and you really can’t take a bad picture! I would definitely recommend this tour and if we came back to Bansko I would book it again!

Great three days snowshoeing experience ! - We did a three days snowshoeing with Wolfgang staying two nights in a hut. We really enjoyed it. The guide was very knowledgeable about the mountains and the history. He is a wonderful guide always providing real good guidance and advice making difficult paths easy to handle. He is very flexible and adapted well the programme based on snow conditions and wishes. Great focus on security which makes you feel really in good hands. Thanks a lot for organizing it!

Great snowshoe hiking with Wolfgang! - We had a great snowshoeing experience at Bansko. Wolfgang was the perfect guide, friendly and extremely knowledgeable about Bulgaria and the mountains we were hiking. He was in touch with us a day before the activity and communicating the plans for the day. He was adaptive to our last minute plan changes, picked us from a different place than was originally agreed. We drove to a small village just outside Bansko, hiked for about 3 hours. He was wary of our abilities and kept a check all along the hike. Wolfgang was also kind enough to provide us information about other places around Bansko. We highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to get out of the hustle and bustle of skiing crowds at Bansko. The level of hiking can be agreed beforehand so that you are not doing too little or too much.

Great experience - Wolfgang was a great guide! This was our first time snow shoeing and we thoroughly enjoyed it! Great to try new sports and not just skiing whilst in the area.

Dobrinishte snowshoeing - We booked a snowshoeing adventure during our trip to Bansko, Bulgaria. I could not have asked for a better experience in Dobrinishte with our guide Wolfgang, who was very knowledgeable in Bulgarian history and more specifically how that relates to the area we were in. That made our trip, so much more interesting. In addition, his knowledge and expertise in the mountain was admirable and he made the experience a mixture of challenging and easy routes that were perfect for our fitness level. I would highly recommend snowshoeing to everyone who wants to explore Bulgarian mountain nature.

Wonderful day snowshoeing in the Bulgarian mountains - I had a super day snowshoeing (for the first time) in stunning scenery, away from the busy skiing crowds in Bansko. Dobrin was a fantastic guide - patient, knowledgeable, and happy to tailor the trip to make it the best day for everyone. I would highly recommend a day trip - or longer experience - with him.
