Unforgettable day hiking to the roof of the Balkans!
I booked the day trip to climb Mount Musala through Cool Destinations, and the entire experience with Traventuria was top-tier from start to finish!If you are thinking about doing this hike, ask for Radi as your guide. Radi was phenomenal—knowledgeable, patient, and extremely attentive to everyone's pacing and safety. Throughout the trek, Radi shared fascinating insights about the Rila Mountains, local flora and fauna, and Bulgarian geography while keeping the energy super positive and encouraging. Thank you, Radi!

A wonderful mountain hike to the famous rila lakes
We had a wonderful experience climbing Mount Rila and witnessing the beauty of the 7 rila lakes.Our guide Lyuboslav was extremely friendly, humorous, and experienced on the hike.He was patient with us and pushed us to reach all 7 lakes at our own pace, which we eventually did, and are very grateful to have done so.I would recommend both the experience and our guide. Thank you for a wonderful day hiking through the mountains.

Best guide ever
Amazing way to experience the best waterfall's season in this part of Europe! Amazing landscapes, great service by the local provider and amazing guide. This girl (Ina) made our day unforgeable! We so much got close that we plan the rest of our stay not only with this agency, but especially with her! You should contact Ina for any outdoor experiences you aim for in this country. Last but not least, it was a honor to be guided by one of the best female rock climbers of Bulgaria. She is amazing! We love her!

Great experience
Great experience and would use again! We had two children under 3yo with us and they were able to modify the Vitosha hike trip to be fun and manageable with our little ones. Our guide was great and spoke excellent English. He really ensured we enjoyed our time and was very knowledgeable about the mountain. Pick up and drop off were on time and the car was great. They were very responsive to our inquiries and questions. Really a great experience end to end.

Magnificent trip to the Bulgarian mountains
I did the "Nature and Wildlife Tours in Bulgaria" activity with Vasily, a local tour guide, accompanied by an excellent zoologist! They guided me through magnificent mountains near Sofia, but very remote. A fantastic trip, stunning scenery, and beautyfull wildlife! Vasily and his companion speak perfect English and are very helpful, I definitely recommend this activity.

Vitosha hiking tour
Heather_H, Sep 2025
Tough hike, amazing views, great guide
This is a challenging hike, but very beautiful. Our guide Meto was super knowledgeable about Vitosha mountain, as well as Bulgarian history. We started off with approximately 2.5 hours of uphill, first through meadows and ferns, then through forest. Then we went through an area that was a plateau on our approach to the peak. The views overlooking Sofia were incredible, and there was hardly anyone else on the trail, since we were there on a weekday. The trail also included seeing Boyana waterfall, Boyana lake, and at the very end we got the chance to visit Boyana Church. It was a solid 8 hours on the trail with short breaks. There are long sections of uneven ground (lots of rocks and roots), and one must step carefully, particularly downhill. Total elevation gain is 1000 meters and 16 km distance (half up, half down). Not for the faint hearted, but worth it!

This hike isn’t the easiest, but the breathtaking views make every step worth it! I had an amazing day exploring the mountains with my guide, Iliam. He was fun, personable, and made the whole experience really enjoyable. We visited four stunning lakes, each more beautiful than the last.

Incredible Day tour from Sofia to 7 Rila lakes and Rila monastery
Kimberly_P, Jul 2025
An Outstanding Day from Start to Finish
We had the absolute pleasure of having Radu as our guide, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, he was proactive and thoughtful—he even reached out to us before the tour to make sure everything was in place. Radu was calm, punctual, and incredibly well-organized, which made the day feel relaxed and enjoyable.What really stood out was how genuinely caring he was. He kept an eye on the mountain weather to help us stay prepared, let us know about restroom stops, and checked in with us about food preferences and needs. His communication was clear and kind throughout.Radu answered all of our questions with patience and insight, helping us gain a deeper appreciation for Bulgarian culture and history. We also loved hearing his personal stories—especially the sweet ones about his grandmother’s garden.Spending the day with Radu was a true highlight of our trip. It felt like exploring with a friend who cared. We wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone visiting Sofia.

Trip to the lakes and the Rila Monastery
He was a great hiker and led us to the best views of the lakes. Somewhat quiet but knowledgeable when you asked questions. He drove well. At the Monastery he introduced us to very good pastries which we appreciated after that hike! A long day because driving from one stop to the next was about 1 1/2 hours.
