5.00This is was the most wonderful experience in Bulgaria. Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by Rusi, and had a fantastic start! The guide and tour was extremely good, very flexible (appreciate this!) and for that he deserves a special thanks. Rusi is such a warm personality and highly motivated guide (recommendable!). The atmosphere is so special that it really felt like home to all of us. All respect for Rusi who does a great job there; a true sample of excellent tour guide! Many thanks again and I recommend Rusi to everyone!
