Sofia Private Nature Escape: Vitosha & Pancharevo Lake

Great tour guide. Flexible on what to do and what to see - including an impromptu trip to the history museum on the way back. Lots of interesting commentary. Very pleasant day.

We had a trip to the Vitosha mountains and Lake Pancharevo. Our guide Simeone was really good and gave us lots of information. He was punctual and very friendly Vitosha mountain is beautiful and it was nice to get out of the city. The lake was ok and we walked all around it but the one side of the lake meant walking along a main road and in hindsight we would have only done the one side of the lake.

We had a wonderful guide Yulian! Good driver and he told as a lot about the environment and life in Bulgaria. A very kind man. The Mountain View was wonderful just as the short climbing to the big rocks, the visit to the lake was wonderful. Yulian knew a good restaurant for lunch. Delicious and good food. We really enjoyed this trip!

Amazing day out. Private tour, beautiful scenery, great enthusiasm from the guide in very good English, fantastic local food. Would recommend to anyone.

Great day out with a passionate local guide with an obvious love of the beauty of Bulgaria. The mountain was quite misty but it didn’t detract from the visit. Lunch at a famous mountain restaurant with a selection of Bulgarian treats then a walk around the lake/reservoir.

I remember well my trip to the Vitosha Mountain. Antonio was very helpfull and me and my sister had a very pleasant day

To the guide's name Ivan. He is passionate and really entertaining though I don't really speak too much. Keep it up !

We had a good time with our guide Vasil. He was careful in the car, the car was good and he has choosen a good restaurant for us. The view from the mountain at Sofia was wonderful. Maybe the organisation can organize a visit at the Boyana church (Unesco) in the future? We could have a view from the outside. Thanks Vasil!

<p>Firstly, the tour company was lovely as they allowed to us be flexible about our booking at the last minute. We also had an excellent day with our tour guide Petar, who was welcoming, informative, and great company for us for the day. He took us for a small hike by the mountains, giving us the option to personalise our tour to our interests making sure the route was suitable for us all. We did not feel rushed as he waited for everyone in the group. He even got some pictures and ate with us when we stopped of at the lake, helping us translate the menu and bill too! Overall, it was a really enjoyable experience, I would highly recommend Petar and the day trip to anyone visiting Sofia.</p>

We had a great trip with our guide/driver Todor and he adapted the day trip to our personal interests. Mount Vitosha is an absolute MUST for eveyone going to Sofia. Sofia without going to Vitosha is like going to Paris without seeing the Eiffel Tower. The trip to the lake is not worth it, there are more typical and interesting things to see, but thanks to the flexibility of Todor, we refocused on more interesting things.
