Nick· September 8th, 2023I have travelled internationally a great deal and typically really enjoy pulling together arrangements myself. With the Rila-Pirin trek, I followed a friend's advice and gave all of the arrangement-making over to Traventuria. I wanted to only have to think about the beauty and challenges of the Rila and Pirin mountains each day and not whether my reservations were vulnerable to unexpected events. Traventuria took excellent care of us - easily moving us (and our bags) from inn to inn and locally for the daily walks, and sorting all the places we stayed. Orientation materials were top-notch! Thank you, guys!Show moreTrip date: July 2023- Nathan· September 8th, 2023Excellent tour company! We are returning customers, who were impressed the first time we used Traventuria. And will definitely continue using them. Climbing the highest peaks of Bulgaria was challenging for us, but we didn't regret the efforts we made to achieve this task. The nature is still intact on many places, unlike the Alps, where you often walk under ski lifts, close to ski slopes, or behind crowds. The GPS tracks we got, meant to supplement the roadbook, were of great help. We mostly use them and checked the roadbook once daily just to be aware of potential alternatives and hints.Show moreTrip date: August 2023
- Soren· September 8th, 2023We had a most enjoyable time, tracing the ridges and lakes of Rila and Pirin. Local organization was superb. Punctual drivers, always on time. Accommodations - simple, but clean, serving good breakfast each morning. Pre-tour information was among the most detailed we have ever received for such type of tours. At no single second we felt insecure or lost. Overall a great holiday.Show moreTrip date: September 2023
- Cary· July 26th, 2019A most enjoyable holiday! We took the suggested extension to include also Maliovitsa peak in Rila, and made the tour 9 days. It was definitely worth it.Show more
