Amazing experience climbing Vitosha Mountain! - I had an amazing time climbing Vitosha mountain with Avi as my tour guide. She was extremely knowledgeable, skilled as a mountain guide, and interesting to talk to. It was a nice climb: we ended up doing 19.5km of walking, 32,000 steps, and 1500 meters of elevated climbing. I think I would describe it as a moderately difficulty climb. You definitely need good trail shoes, as there are a lot of rocks paths for which normal running shoes wouldn't be suitable. Furthermore, a water bottle, sunglasses, sun screen and bug spray are also necessities. Most people can complete it, but you will definitely feel it in your legs at the end of the day. Overall, I had an awesome time, and the breath-taking view of Sofia at the summit makes the trek totally worthwhile! Thanks again Avi!

What an adventure - Tsetso was a fantastic guide and very informative and experienced.This is a hard hike and he took all precautions to keep us safe..He advised us at the start of the hike about the difficulty..Hiking shoes are a must. We hiked about 17 km with 1100 m elevation gain.Quite the workout with a great guide.I would highly recommend it

Guide knowledge of mountain routes and Bulgarian history - The tour advertised up to 16 people but we were the only ones who signed up for the day so we got a private tour. Our guide knew a lot of history about Bulgaria and was knowledgeable about the forest and mountains. We couldn’t manage the full hike but our guide was able to pivot to give us a beautiful experience and look off point with a much shorter trek.

Mis-sold - we did not climb the mountain nor was it 10 hours, plus delayed pick up. - We were 40 minutes late to be picked up. The tour is factually incorrect - we did not climb any mountain. Very, very disappointed.
