5.00I sent 3 teenagers (15-16 y) with Dimiter to discover the Rila Lakes in winter . The organisation was perfect . They came back at the end of the day super- enthusiastic even if the weather was a little foggy and it stayed like a higlight of their week in Bulgaria .
Amazing experience, a must if staying in Sofia!

5.00Demetri went above and beyond to accommodate our wishes for this trip; advising the best route, itinerary and day for conditions. The day ran so smoothly, from the moment we were picked up from our apartment until we got dropped back in the evening! The scenery is fantastic, and Demetri is a fountain of knowledge about the area. 100% recommend this trip to anyone staying in Sofia who wants to escape to the tranquility of the mountains!
3 days of snowshoeing in Rila and Pirin Mountains

5.00We are a family with two teenage girls (14-17) and walked 3 days with snowshoes in Rila and Pirin mountains. Dimiter (Mitko) was our guide. Our tour was custom made and we combined it with 3 days of skiing in Bansko. Email communication before the trip was quick and complete. The snowshoeing tour was definitely the highlight of our Bulgarian week, not only for us adults but also for our teenagers. The hikes were very beautiful with superb mountain views, mostly in remote areas so we seemed to be alone in the mountains. Mitko changed the program on the spot due to the very good weather conditions so we coud enjoy an extra viewpoint. Mitko turned out to be very good guide, he loves his country and shares spontaneously his knowledge about the mountains and the Bulgarian way of living. We would definitely recommend a snowshoeing tour with bulguides!
