Alex was a great tour guide! The trip down to Bulgaria was broken up into a few stops along the way, which was a nice chance to get up and stretch. We stopped for lunch and had some great food in a small local restaurant. We recommend this side-trip from Bucharest to anyone that may want to visit Bulgaria with a guide.
