Climb Mount Musala (2925m)

Pretty much everything was perfect. The choice of hotels, our guides, the actual treks all top quality. Taking 20 people away is usually stressful but not this time - thank you!

All journey was amazing, everything organised, good guide! Was an amazing experience for my first time hiking!!

Fantastic scenery, very well organized and professional guide.

The trip generally was well organised, accommodation very good (provided excellent food and hospitality), drop off at hotels for those staying in Sofia at the end of the trip was a nice bonus.

Everything was great! Itinerary, transfers, guesthouse/food and local guide. Was really impressed.

As a solo traveler, it is great to be able to go on trips like this. I felt welcome and looked after the whole time. It was a great experience.

Great guide, beautiful scenery.

Really enjoyed this weekend in Bulgaria. The surroundings are beautiful and it was so nice to sleep in a bed (and not a tent!) at the end of the day. We came up against some torrential rain pour which prevented us from making it to the summit, however we all had such a great weekend that we said we’d go back. Boyan our host was exceptional. You couldn’t want for more. He was knowledgeable, funny and had a pace which always kept in mind the slowest. This is such a rarity in group trips but it meant no one felt left behind. This is an easy-moderate hike and would suit first-timers as well as those who like an active weekend, like me. Oh, and the food was delicious. That’s always a bonus.

Boyan is a great guide. Very articulate and knowledgeable. We had a great experience with him.

The host Boyan was brilliant, he was very knowledgeable about the country and the mountains. We had terrible conditions on the mountain on the first day but he still managed to make sure we were all enjoying ourselves and that everyone was ok, he helped those that were struggling. The scenery was amazing out there and the food was great too! Would definitely visit again.

Everything was as was written in the trip description. Our guide Boyan was great. Excellent English and told us about Bulgarian history, culture, food, nature. He really made the trip very enjoyable.

Boyan was a fantastic guide. As we arrived early (1 pm rather than 7 pm) he gave us a walking tour of Sofia as a bonus which was great - he was really knowledgeable. The hotel we stayed at was very nice and the food was amazing! On the day of climbing Mt Musala the weather was terrible - driving rain and wind and by the time we reached the second hut we decided to abandon as everyone was soaked through and freezing. Despite this, somehow Boyan still made the experience really enjoyable and no-one was any less happy about not reaching the peak. He took us up to the seven lakes the day after when (fortunately) the sun was out so we had a lovely last day, with Boyan filling us in on the details of each lake as we went, which was really interesting. Overall, I would recommend this trip to anyone - the itinerary makes it good but Boyan made it fantastic!
