A private 1-hour quad or buggy safari from Borovets into the Rila Mountains, with flexible booking and snowmobiling upgrades when conditions turn.
“it’s a spam. when the web site said £62, i paid it and booked, but the vendor said it is only deposit, asked me to paid £251 for remaining balance. this is not the web site said, it is misleading me. so, it is total £312 ( 61+251) if i know it cost this amount, i will not book, it is not acceptable”
Private 4x4 Jeep safari from Sapareva Banya into the Rila Mountains for snow views, legends, and photo stops, guided in English.
“The tour itself was brilliant and so much fun! Stanko was our driver, he was punctual, polite and an excellent off- road driver. The views were spectacular and we thoroughly enjoyed the trip. We would have given 5 stars except for the communication from the tour operator was terrible. They took ages replying, got the wrong date and did not actually confirm until 10.30pm the night before our tour. This is no reflection on the actual tour itself but caused added anxiety and stress which was unnecessary.”

“This trip wasn't what was described by any means except the jeep part, however the offroading was fabulous and we visited a honey farm and did rifle shooting and had a lovely Bulgarian lunch and saw lots of animals along the way, also the guide who was filling in last minute for sickness did his very best given he wasn't fully bilingual in English and he had a great sense of humor too I cannot fault it we had a great day!”
