Hemos hecho las dos excursiones, al Monasterio de Rila y a Plovdiv, con Mihail. Todo estuvo dentro de lo planeado, Mihail ha sido muy amable y siempre pendiente de nosotros y las audioguías muy completas. Recomiendo estos dos tours

La ciudad de plovdiv es divina! Hasta Plovdiv nos conducio el dueño, muy simpático! Además de que si no tienes transporte propio es bastante difícil llegar a Plovdiv. Los museos incluidos en el tour eran muy interesantes también, así que claramente recomiendo!

consiglio vivamente il servizio è ottimo per la scoperta delle bellezze del centro di Sofia con spiegazioni semplici e comprensive. Il tour è organizzato in modo eccellente e molto cordiale e gentile lo staff.
Sehr empfehlenswert! Nach den schönen Tagesausflügen in Sofia und in Rila-Kloster folgte auch ein Ausflug nach Plovdiv und selbstverständlich mit Audio Guide Bulgaria. Wie bereits bei den anderen zwei Ausflügen bekamen wir die gewohnte Qualität: informative Inhalte, interessant und professionell gestaltet. Die Abwicklung war ausgezeichnet. Danke!!! Weiter so: zum Beispiel mit Audio Guide für Veliko Tarnovo. Viel Erfolg! Сърдечна препоръка! След хубавите еднодневни екскурзии с Аудио Гид България в София и Рилски Манастир последва и посещение на град Пловдив, разбира се с Аудио Гид. Както при предишните две екскурзии получихме отново прекрасно качество: информативни съдържания, интересни и професионално представени. Поръчката беше безпроблемна. Благодаря!!! Продължавайте така, например с Велико Търново. Успех!
