  I am a solo female traveler in my late 40’s and have seen this monument on many YouTube videos for years. When this activity popped up in my search of things to do I knew I had to go! My guide and the owner of the company Alex was so gracious and great conversation. We traveled all day around Bulgaria with him explaining detailed history on several different sites we stopped at including a fortress with a crazy church now deemed monument due to the art inside it, the site of the “eagles nest”, several iconic communist monuments and the crown jewel of Buzludzha. He provided a tasty picnic, plenty of water, and an absolute wonderful day. I enjoyed it so much I booked a second day with him to go hiking in the Bucegi mountains. It was a terrific experience. I originally had been concerned about weather being too hot and had cancelled but changed my mind and was so glad I did! If you want a safe catered to you experience seeing historical or obscure sites while in Bucharest he is the one to choose!

  A superb trip from Bucharest to Bulgaria. Alex is well versed and knowledgeable on the history of the region and all the stops. The tour included 3 superb stopping points with great photo opportunities. Thrilled to have seen the Buzludzha Momunent, many thanks Alex!

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

• Awesome Trip to Bulgaria

  We took the day trip with Alex and Geo last week and it was great! It's a long drive and they were both a pleasure to chat with in between sites, and had a lot of knowledge about the places we visited. The weather didn't cooperate but it just made for much cooler photos. The lunch they provided was great with a special thanks to Alex's mom and grandmother for the pie and drink! We would definitely recommend joining any trips/adventures that they are offering. Just overall great people to spend a day with. Also, this specific tour was the only one that went to these specific places. Most tours go to the usual tourist places, but if you want to see something new and different, definitely take their tour. If we get back to Romania we will definitely be taking another tour with them. Thanks to you both!

  

• Two Thumbs Up For Alex

  This was a great tour and Alex was a wonderful guide. He was friendly, kind, knowledgeable, and best of all, he was great company. While completing the tour, we ran into a great deal of snow on the mountains (we were visiting in January) and had to course correct. Alex did so without hesitation. He ended up taking us on a hike instead—and luckily he had warned us to wear appropriate clothing and shoes ahead of time, just in case. Because of this, we were still able to see everything we wanted to. He also provided us with a great home-cooked meal afterwards. I’d definitely recommend taking a tour with Alex.

• Fantastic guide with a wonderful itinerary

  Alex was by far the highlight of this trip. I knew finding an off the beaten path tour to see Bulgaria in January would be a difficult task but Alex made it an unforgettable experience. We really enjoyed the pace of the day and there was a great balance of information as well as some down time to ensure we were really able to capture the feeling of the country. The day was full of adventure and it was really topped off with a delicious homemade lunch. When the road up to Buzludzha wasn’t able to be driven, Alex quickly shifted that time to a hike which was a wonderful way to see nature and enjoy our time up and down the mountain. I cannot recommend Alex enough as a tour guide. I look forward to returning to Bucharest and exploring again with him.

• Excellent guide and great itinerary

  Alex clearly has a passion for travel, being a guide and adventuring around his own and nearby countries. It's fair to say this was the highlight of our trip. The weather conditions were rather difficult, particularly getting to Buzludzha Monument - Alex worked really hard though to ensure the itinerary was kept, even though it meant getting back to Bucharest quite late. The open air lunch/picnic was a nice touch, and even though it was a really long day with a massive amount of driving, Alex remained talkative and engaged up to the end. He got the perfect balance between giving us information and also allowing us to enjoy the views and taking photographs. The stops are really good - bit on the alternative side and off the beaten track, but that's what makes it so good. It is refreshing to come across a guide who has followed his passion. Was really nice to meet you Alex and I can recommend this tour highly.

• Day trip to Bulgaria

  Just fancied a day trip to Bulgaria. Hadn’t looked too much into the trip but it sounded good and I thought why not. Alex picked myself and another couple up from outside the intercontinental hotel. The trip was interesting and informative. Alex was a great host, took care of everything. Had lunches packed for us. Homemade food which was very good. The intinery was interesting and well paced. Alex knew about the places he took us and gave knowledge and depth in the places he took us. Alex was one of the most genuine people I meet on my trip in Romania. I wish him great success with his tour company and would recommend him to anyone for one of his tours.

• Amazing day in Bulgaria.

  I did this tour yesterday with our most awesome tour guide ever....Alex 👍!!!! It was way worth it. He takes you to the old town , Veliko Tărnovo, a UNESCO tentative list for world heritage site, then to the Shipka Monument and the Best part is the Buzludzha monument. An abandoned and the biggest unoccupied monument in Europe ( I hope I got it right this time Alex). It was a different experience. One of my best experience here on this trip. Alex made the drive bearable ( it was a long drive) but made it interesting. He is very engaging in the conversation. Such a pleasant person. One of my favorite is having a picnic at the Shipka monument where he laid a cloth on the grass and we ( the tour group) feast on home made food. My favorite is the apple pie made by his mom . I will do this again if I come back in Romania. I encourage tourists to do this awesome tour. Thanks for an awesome experience Alex and promise not to fall asleep and banging my head multiple times next time.
