Excellent experience and totally worth it - The best touring experience to learn about the caves and mountain live in Bulgaria. We had the luck to meet Giorgi Valiavicharski, this amazing touring guide who taught us so many things about Bulgaria History and on top of that we visited an additional atraction upon our request and was very willing to take us there without extra charge. He even recommended a traditional food place which was obviously amazing.

My 17 year old and me had the best day thanks to her. The scenary was also fantastic and well worth the journey to get to. Takes 90 mins or so, but nice views on the way.

10/10 - must see - best guide ever! - Well…wow! 10/10 Detailed instructions to make collection and planning simple, prompt pick up in a spacious and clean vehicle with a wonderful and extremely knowledgeable guide! Beautiful scenery, breathtaking and our guide was a mine of knowledge about the watefall, caves and fortress in addition to all things Bulgarian and Balkan - we discussed nature, history, religion and everything inbetween and there wasn’t a question she hesitated on! Lunch was great and all the recommended dishes were authentic and delicious, just the right amount of rest in between the tours. I had picked up a running injury prior to arriving in Sofia and I was worried I would slow the group or struggle on some terraine but I was very well looked after and didn’t struggle at all, mainly because of our guides kindness and not making me feel like I was slowing down the tour! Will always be grateful for your knowledge and kindness, thank you!

Everything was great! - The excursion program was rich and varied. I liked the balance between natural attractions (waterfall and cave) and historical ones (Lovech). Вили was a great guide. Very friendly and knowledgeable.

Fabulous Trip - Billie was an amazing guide. She was informative and entertaining 👏. The Krushuna Waterfalls were breathtaking and the walk to them was not strenuous. The water level was high so I imagine that the falls were more extraordinary than at other, low water times. There was a bit of controversy with Devetaki Cave when Hollywood wanted to shoot some scenes from Incredibles II there. I'm glad they were not given permission to blow up the cave and its 50,000 + bat population. The opening is huge and we spent some time just wandering. Lovech was a quaint little town. We first had some time to have lunch before walking up to Lovetch Fortress. It changes elevation about 200 feet. Billie chose spots to stop and tell us some historical stories. This, I think, was her way of giving us a rest without tipping off what she was doing. Smart. In the fortress lived the royals and the rich. There were three sizes of ruins showing the discrepancy even among the wealthy. The fortress is beautifully lit up at night so we took even more pictures... Unfortunately, there was a problem with the site, and my pictures would not upload.

Amazing Adventure - This tour is a must do attraction for anyone of is a nature lover and enjoys the thrill of exploring caves. The caves are beautiful and mysterious. Unfortunately, the Krushuna Waterfall was not a good idea due to the lack of rain. However, our tour guide immediately suggested visiting another cave. This outstanding service made the trip a real enjoyment and very pleasant.
