2.00This is a bit of a journey. The afternoon the day before our excursion, I got a message that our tour guide was not well, and so we could either cancel and receive a refund, or book in for a different tour. That is fine. However, we opted to do a different tour instead, this one to Rila Monastery, Caves, and the Stob Pyramids. We were picked up on time. However, we were picked up in the guide's personal vehicle. He said that since it was Easter, many of the rental places were closed (?). I wouldn't mind so much, but the van was old and not clean. As we engaged with our tour, I became more and more certain that our guide had never run this tour before. He had a minimal amount of additional knowledge about the sites, and when we were at the Rila Monastery, basically just read to us from the signs. I normally don't give bad reviews, but I probably wouldn't recommend this travel company.
Magnificent landscape of Iskar
