Natalia es una guía excepcional: cómo solamente estábamos dos españoles ese día para el tour, nos dió la explicación de todo el recorrido en español, lo que es de agradecer porque cuando lo contratamos se especificaba que era en inglés, con la audioguía en español. Hizo todo el recorrido muy ameno y estuvo solicita a responder todas nuestras dudas. Recomendable 100%”
3 hour small group Bulgarian food walk in Plovdiv with market tasting, honey, banitsa and mekitsa, led by an English guide.
“Food tour był świetnym doświadczeniem! Nasz przewodnik (o ile dobrze pamiętam, Liam) przygotował bardzo ciekawy sposób przekazania wiedzy. Nie zabrakło wizyty na lokalnym targu z zapewnionym budżetem i zabawną próbą dogadania się po bułgarsku, co pozwoliło lepiej poczuć codzienność mieszkańców. Do tego quiz o produktach i ich ciekawostkach sprawił, że wszystko było angażujące i pełne niespodzianek. Spacer po tradycyjnych miejscach Płowdiwu z charakterystycznymi przekąskami i daniami był przepyszny i inspirujący. Jesteśmy naprawdę bardzo zadowoleni i polecamy tę wycieczkę z całego serca! ☺️”
