5.00The communication prior to this trip was very clear and I like that. Philip was waiting for the group in time. And time is time ... at 07:00 we left. Along the way Philip told us what was to come in a nice way and with humor. This was supplemented by floor plans. This made it a beautiful day. Thank you 💐
Great experience

5.00A fantastic experience that is 100% worth doing whilst visiting Sofia. Phillip was a great guide, informative and kept in touch with us throughout the day. The hike itself is incredible, the views are breathtaking but the walk is definitely moderate if you are not an experienced hiker. There is an option to do a much easier route but we chose the circular route which we found harder than we expected. We found the snow was still quite thick in places so make sure you have sensible shoes on and consider buying sticks at the bottom of the chair lift to aid you! Phillip messaged us the night before with everything we needed to know, including the correct gear to bring which was super helpful! The lakes are beautiful and should absolutely be on your bucket list! The Rila Monastery was a lovely way to end the day and again, worth a visit. The coach was clean and had air conditioning.
Super experience

5.00A wonderful experience, Philip was always available to provide all the necessary information. If you're in good shape, I recommend doing the longer full route. Be careful of the snow, even in late May!

5.00It was pleasant experience, everything was on time, this is what I like most about it! If you are going to this hike ensure you are well equipped to hike there, in many area you will hike on snow, so the views are incredible but you should be careful
