Mladen and Joy did a fantastic job, showing us so many aspects of Bulgaria, helped to realize the beauty of the country. The trip was most beneficial because of the personal stories including what life was like under the Communists. Wines were wonderful from the many SB, Roses to Malbecs. Again much enhanced by Mladen’s knowledge of both wines and country. Great variety, quality, and quantity. Wineries were fun & educational. From the first meal with all eyes popping after seeing our first Bulgarian salad to our last meal food was great. Food experience went from everyday Bulgarian to Fusion fantastic choices. Our guide Kamen was extremely knowledgeable and was a perfect addition to the group. I told friends prior to the trip that I would come back as an expert on Bulgaria, little did I know how true that was thanks to Kamen. Loved it all: villages, cities, resorts, monasteries - all with their individual stories. Museums gave new education on Bulgarian history. I can't say enough about the visit and the performance at the School of Bulgarian Folklore & Dance. Wow!
Excellent value for money. The trip exceeded my expectations. Because Bulgaria is still an undiscovered country, this trip enlightens you on all aspects of culture, history, beauty, and an understanding of the people. Great immersion into wines, foods, and understanding of what living under communism was like.
