We had a great day in the mountains with our guide Tosho. The Black Peak hike was reasonably strenuous, especially near the top when we were walking on snow. The views and sense of an achievable were amazing though! We walked for about 2hours uphill, had a break in the cafe at the top, and the walk down took about an hour. Tosho was a great guide and shared many stories with us. We stopped off at a monastery on the way back to Sofia. Thoroughly recommend this trip!

Our guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. Because the lift is not running the police close the road up the mountain after a certain number of cars each day. Our guide, knowing this, contacted us to leave earlier and we arrived be for the road closed and before the trail was busy.

We had a great time at our private tour with Petya! She picked us up and dropped us off at our accommodation. Hotel “Moreni” was the starting point for our hike to the summit Black Peak (Cherni Vruh). It was four of us- 2 adults, 11 yo and a 9yo. The hike was about 7mi (approximately 11 km) on a moderate uphill. Our kids did great. We walked through the bedrock formation Moreni and even enjoyed some snowy patches in the hot day. The views from the summit were stunning. It was an easy hike. It took us about 4 hours for the round trip. We’re very happy with our experience! Thank you!

Great self-guided tour! Recommend! We are very satisfied with the professionalism and the easiness of use of the e-guide. Also, they always had a person to help and assist us. Absolutely excellent!

Wonderful self-guided tour option on this tour. Very affordable with all information and paths. Strongly recommend if you want to save money and do not need private guiding as this mountain is relatively easy to navigate.
