5.00Daniel drove us to Mt Vitosha and he was very knowledgeable about the area etc. His English was amazing and he couldn't do enough to help us. He stayed with us for a little while during our lesson as the instructor English wasn't as good as his..this helped massively. We mentioned we wanted to try bulgarian food to Daniel and he sorted this for our lunch. The skiing lessons were great and everyone was super friendly. 100% recommend.
What an amazing day

5.00Could not fault our day on the slopes , we were collected from our hotel by Alex , who took care of everything from the lift passes to the equipment to the clothing ! This was our first time skiing and he was a patient , encouraging and enthusiastic teacher . Our 12 year old son took to him straight away and when he got frustrated with his efforts Alex was there to support encourage him and make him laugh ! Can’t recommend highly enough and will definitely be back to try something else Thanks for a great day
Probably the best experience in Sofia!

5.00During our visit in Bulgaria, we came across the offer going to ski to Vitosha mountain. Our great experience began in the morning Alex came exactly on time to pick us up in front of the hotel with a big smile and excellent English. Draw us upward to the lift and even stop the car getting the coffee for my wife. During the drive, we got a lot of historical and actual explanations about Bulgaria and Sofia. The experience continued on the ski slope where Alex presented a complete and perfect carving style explaining to us an easy way. My daughter was the first one to accomplish the technique as she is riding roller skates every day in Dxb. I am giving the highest rating to Alex and highly recommend him to enjoy your day on Vitosha mountain on skies while visiting Sofia.
Great time Skiing in Sofia

5.00We took Air bnb in Sofia. Alex the ski instructor came to pick us up and took us to the mountain. We didn’t have to deal with the ski pass or rentals. He took care of everything. The kids had a great time and the ski lesson was very nice!
Great option while visiting Sofia!
