5.00It is a professionally organized trip where you can enjoy the Rafting Tour and admire Bulgaria's wonderful Rila Monastery. Founded in the 10th century it is a unique Unesco Heritage site and in all of Europe can only be rivaled by Mesquita Cathedral in Cordoba, Spain, We had a great time.
Wonderful sport talk culture

5.00A day full of sport, emotion, diving and culture, our guide Stefan was able to accompany us with anecdotes about current society and Bulgarian history throughout the journey. I also appreciated the stop at the typical kiosk for lunch. Wonderful experience, I recommend it!

1.00They canceled the evening before the trip, without saying the reason. I suspect it’s not even about bad weather cause they didn’t propose another day
Great fun and experience
