5.00This was a fabulous and unique experience:2-day trip to Sopot, Karlovo, Kalofer, Damascena, The Valley of the Thracian Rulers, Shipka, Gabrovo, Bojentsi and Triavna! A tailor-made excursion to fit our requests. Accompanied by our very kind guide and driver from Bulgaria Fairy Tale, it was an excellent travel experience, with erudition and rich information provided all over the trip. This interesting travel fascinated us, as Bulgarians we were proud of our rich and beautiful nature, culture and history while enjoying enormously the experience. My teenage daughter discovered several new aspects of Bulgaria. We were not tired. We plan new itineraries with Bulgaria Fairy Tale. Highly recommended!
