What Our Guests Are Saying

"Fantastic scenery all the way, interesting guided tours in major cities, and exceptional food"

Andrew P.

“We laughed and learned so much. She even made sure we had a variety of traditional foods for lunch, arranged a very traditional dinner for us, and even took us to the grocery store to show us good beer, wine, yogurt, and cheese to take back.”

James F.

“We loved strolling through the little village of Melnik, eating at a local outdoor place, and buying local wine, honey, and jams. We had a tour of the winery operations, which are modern and impressive, and had a fantastic tasting experience with about 5 of their delicious wines.”
