This was very unique and fun hike!! The snow and forest are truly beautiful and the guide Dobrev was very nice and explained everything to us and provided a lot of info! The booking was fast and easy, and the hot pools at the end perfect after a cold walk!

This experience was wonderful. We were the only 2 booked for this experience so our guide Filip picked us up and drove us around all day with his private car. He explained to us how to use the equipment and was very nice and informative the whole day. He also walked at our pace which was great! We stopped in a hut for some hot tea, lunch and wine. It was amazing to stop there, get some rest after the hike up and warm up a bit. We even stopped for some pictures. The spa was then a nice way to unwind and relax after. I would definitely recommend this to anyone as an alternative to skiing or another activity on the slopes.

I had an unforgettable walk. A great alternative for ski mountains. Having absolutely no experience, a great opportunity to see mountains, snow, winter lake, etc in a relaxed way. Dobrin took into account my physical level, was very attentive, and offered different options. I dined in a real Bulgarian outback, far from tourist crowds. And also had the opportunity to enjoy an outdoor thermal bath for a ridiculously cheep fee. Many thanks to Dobrin!

The tour with Dobrin was amazing. We were picked up from our hotel and were taken via private transport to Pirin. Dobrin was very friendly and fluent in English. He guided us patiently up to Okoto Lake and back down. Later we were taken to thermal baths to unwind. Overall a very good experience and would recommend this activity.

The snowshoe tour with Dobrin exceeded every expectation I had and it ended up being one of the best experiences of my life. The views were absolutely stunning, quiet snow-covered trails, fresh air, and two incredibly beautiful lakes. It felt peaceful, challenging in a good way, and extremely rewarding. Dobrin made the whole day smooth and enjoyable. He chose a great route, kept a comfortable pace, and explained everything clearly. I always felt safe and still able to enjoy the adventure on my own terms. His calm attitude and knowledge of the area added a lot to the overall experience. I appreciated how he explained every part of the trail, the history of the area, and small details about the landscape that I would have never noticed alone. After the snowshoeing, we stopped at a mountain hut for a warm soup, which tasted incredible after the cold and effort. And finishing the day with a thermal pool / spa was the perfect ending. I would strongly recommend this to absolutely anyone. It was the highlight of my trip and an experience I will remember for a lifetime time as a mountain/nature lover. Thank you again, Dobrin

Great walk using snowshoes with few different routes to chose from. Viktor was very nice and spent quite a long time with us, not rushing and being like a tour guide for the day. We walked for several hours in the snow, then went for lunch in a very nice restaurant and then went to some really nice outdoor thermal bath in Eleshnitsa. There were a couple thermal pools there next to an old chapel, with a river running through them. Very nice location, we chose to go there after Viktor described it as a more natural place. Would recommend to anyone looking for an alternative to skiing in Bansko or the surrounding areas.

Snow-shoeing with Wolfgang was an incredible adventure! He's a highly experienced guide who knows the terrain like the back of his hand. From the moment we met, his professionalism and enthusiasm were evident. He made sure we were well-prepared and comfortable, checking in with us about our needs before we even started. The experience itself was breathtaking, and Wolfgang's guidance allowed us to fully appreciate the beauty of the winter landscape. I felt safe and well-informed throughout the trip, and his knowledge of the area added a fascinating layer to the experience. Highly recommend!

Amazing day with great guide. We had a 4hour tour of snowshoeing. The views were spectacular and our guide regularly entertained us with informative and funny stories about Bulgaria and some urban legends. The day gets tailored to the wishes of the group.

Trekking the snowy terrain on snowshoes at 2000+m was truly an experience of a lifetime. The sun was shining, and the winds were gentle. Wolfgang was an amazing and very flexible guide who adjusted the pace and allowed plenty of breaks for the less fit me. He helped to take lots of photos too and was helpful in so many ways, including helping to find a ski lesson and returning the glove I left in his car. Mineral water hotspring spa in the village next to a river was an unique experience! All in all, a wonderful trip!
