    The destinations are great, however perhaps because of the higher number of people in the group, time stretched, from hotel check-ins, to meals. As a result, time was taken off on sightseeing.

    Our guide Crina was very good. I was satisfied with the itinerary. My biggest complaint is the Sofia hotel being so far away from the city centre. I also think we spent too long in Velika Tarnovo and could have left for Plovdiv earlier.

    Zoe

    Asked on February 1st, 2025

    Since the entrance fees are not included in the tour price, does that mean that we can opt out of paying some of them if we are not interested in visiting a certain place? So for example, if I do not want to go into the Turda salt mine, do I still need to pay the 10 Euros?

    Price / Availability
    Tour Details
    • Travel TalkOperatorWritten February 2025

      No, you are not required to pay for entrance fees to sites you choose not to visit. If you decide not to enter the Turda Salt Mine, for example, you will not need to pay the 10 Euros and will only participate in the sightseeing portion of the stop.
