- Dianne· September 22nd, 2025Well thought out tour with a good English speaking guide. We are history fans and this tour checked all our boxes. The hotels were comfortable with great breakfasts and good mattresses. None of the drives were excessively long and the vehicle was spacious and comfortable. Would highly recommend this tour.Show more
- Genevieve· September 20th, 2025An excellent itinerary covering the best of Bulgaria and Romania. The highlights of both countries were thoughtfully selected, offering a perfect balance of history, culture, and nature. The short stay at the Black Sea added a relaxing touch to the journey. From medieval towns to scenic landscapes and rich historical sites, everything was well-paced and well-organizedShow more
- Beryl· July 19th, 2025The printed guide and organisation of the final itinerary were excellent. We were glad we changed the itinerary to add a night in Kazanlak between Plovdiv and Nessebar as it was a long way to drive, and as there are many interesting sights around Kazanlak: we also visited Shipka Church and Pass which were well worth seeing as we had a bit of extra time there. Due to the long drive to get to coastal Bulgarian areas, we would have liked an extra night there, probably in Varna which suited our historical interests. Both guided tours in Sofia and Veliko Tarnovo were excellent and very informative. We appreciated the extra time spent with Sofia in Veliko Tarnovo giving us a guided tour of the Tsarevets Fortress and also sights in the town. Overall the sights in Bulgaria including historic and natural were a pleasant surprise.Show more

Chloe
Asked on December 21st, 2024I am very interested in this tour you offer but I am a single traveler and would like to know if you could pair me with another same gender single traveler. I can't afford to pay for single supplement because it's usually double the price and will be too costly. My travel date is flexible in June and July, if that would help.
Across Europe Ltd.Operator•Written December 2024To answer your question: even if there are other travellers you can join in June/ July, you will still have to pay for a single room, as I doubt a person would like to share room with a total stranger. If you are travelling on a budget, we can tailor the itinerary for you/ shorten the number of days.and eventually exclude some of the services.

Amy
Asked on December 9th, 2024How many people are likely to be on this tour?
- Across Europe Ltd.Operator•Written December 2024
This is an individual tour, with daily departure, so most probably there will be no other travellers with you.

Eric
Asked on October 20th, 2024Would it be possible to depart this tour in Varna as we have visited Veliko Tarnovo
- Across Europe Ltd.Operator•Written October 2024
Yes, we can tailor the tour for you. As far as I understand, you would like to finish the tour with arrival in Varna/ do you need overnights there? This means 13 days total according to our program. If you would like to explore a bit more from Bulgaria, I can propose a stop in Kazanlak for instance ( between Koprivshtitsa and Burgas ).

Asked on August 30th, 2024Can I share a room with another traveler when I get there. Then I don't have to pay the supplement.
- Across Europe Ltd.Operator•Written September 2024
Unfortunately, we do not have daily departures and cannot propose a tour so that you can share a room with another traveller. If you are Ok to travel alone, I will be happy to tailor an itinerary for you and try to fit within a budget you plan. We can reduce the number of days or change some of the locations/ accommodations included.

Diana
Asked on August 24th, 2024I wish to travel from Qatar with my wife and son to Bulgaria and stay there for 5 days then travel to Greece and spend 5 days then return to Qatar. Kindly advise what i need to do
- Across Europe Ltd.Operator•Written August 2024
Please check whether you need a visa to travel to Bulgaria. If you are Quatar national, you need a visa for Bulgaria, as well as for Greece. Bulgaria is part of the Schengen agreement, so if you already have a multiple entry Schengen visa, you do not need to apply for Bulgarian one. I would advise that you call the Bulgarian embassy and check according to your status. We do not provide airplane tickets, so it is up to you to arrange them. We can tailor an itinerary for you based on your interests and budget. The tour can be both self-drive, chauffeur driven or train tour. If you choose a chauffeur driven tour, we can bring you directly to Greece (Thessaloniki) in the end of the tour of Bulgaria.

Robin
Asked on April 18th, 2024If i will not get visa, will you return my money back?
- Across Europe Ltd.Operator•Written April 2024
45 to 31 days prior to departure – loss of deposit ( 30% from the package price )
30 or fewer days before departure – 100 % of tour cost
Please note that Bulgaria is a part of the Schengen area, so if you have a valid Schengen visa, there is no need to apply for Bulgarian visa.
