Hi and welcome! I've been exploring Bulgaria for decades. I started out as a toddler and carried out ever since. I began guiding over 20 years ago. I love sharing my passion for the country, its culture and nature with others. With me, you can combine sightseeing with hiking, cave exploration with birding, wine tasting with historical sites. Tours are customized to fit easy, moderate, and high activity levels as well as particular areas of interest (general sightseeing, cultural sites, hiking, mountain views, birding, kayaking and mountain biking). By booking with me you support preservation of cultural and natural heritage, healthy urban environment. You also get a discount at my photography website, where you can buy or send as present quality images from Bulgaria as wall art, mugs, etc. Credentials: Ecology MSc, Sofia University "St. Kliment Ohridski".

The seven lakes - a day tour from Sofia
Overview of your Sofia tour
We shall leave Sofia in the morning and drive to the Rila mountain. On most days we can take advantage of the chair lift to get to the lowest of the famous seven lakes. A hike up will gradually reveal more of the alpine scenery. Eventually we will reach lookouts with stunning views. After enjoying the vistas, taking photos and having a snack, we will head down.
