Excellent self-guided hiking experience in beautiful Bulgaria!

5.00A seamless experience with Traventuria completing the 8 day self-guided hikes in the Rila and Pirin mountains. Transfers and transport were punctual with excellent flexibility to be picked up earlier depending on when I completed hikes. Excellent GPS trail resources provided for the hikes (a must for hiking solo). Stayed at wonderful family hotels with some traditional home cooking. I hadn’t expected Bulgaria to be so beautiful but the experience was further complemented by warm hospitality and an excellent travel experience with Traventuria. Many thanks for a wonderful trip!
Disaster organization. Agency to avoid!

1.00I booked a visit to the 7 lakes of Rila with this agency. On the day of Check-out, I was informed that I had not booked a tour with a Guide, but with an Audio Guide and headphones. When I asked for the Audio Guide, the Guide told me that he was the Audio Guide and that I could follow the band eventually. The group was 31 people with one Guide. Arriving on site in Panitchishte at 8:30 we waited more than 2 hours to queue to buy tickets and access the mountain cable car!!! I was able to climb the mountain at 11:15 and we had to wait for the rest of the group. I gave up and left on my own. Only 5 people managed to go around 7 lakes because you had to be at the bus at 15:15 no matter how late we got to the mountains. Catastrophic organization! Agency to avoid!

Unethical Business Practices – Failure to Honor Agreed Pricing
204gracep,1 thg 2, 2024

1.00I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction with the service provided by Traventuria Ltd despite agreeing on a certain pricing structure and providing a deposit, I was shocked to discover that they increased the pricing after collecting my deposit. This deceptive practice is not only unprofessional but also a clear violation of our agreement. I feel betrayed as a customer, and this experience has eroded my trust in Traventuria. I strongly urge them to rectify this situation promptly and honor the originally agreed-upon pricing. Such unethical behavior tarnishes the reputation of the company and harms the relationship with its customers. I expect a timely and fair resolution to this matter, and I hope that [Service Operator] takes immediate action to address their lapse in integrity.

5.00Beautiful experience with very kind and helpful guides to manage the needs of our group. The only recommendations I would make, given that the chairlift was not in operation when we went, I would say that you need to be very fit as the route is very demanding and it would be advisable to bring suitable equipment to deal with the terrain and the weather. I highly recommend Traventuria.

5.00Radi was a great guide! We had rainy weather when we started and he paced everything so that the chairlift was open when we arrived. He’s very knowledgeable about the area and is a very chill person to be around with. Great success!
