Hello, I am Volen. Always believed I am born to travel. I have no other explanation for my endless desire to explore Bulgaria, the Balkans, and the rest of the world. My travelling experience dates back to my childhood when I started getting to know my home town region with my bike. It Is then when my dream of becoming a tour guide was born. The way to achieve my goal later went through the University of Sofia where I studied Tourism and Cultural Tourism, the special courses for tour guides and many personal travels. The dream came true in 2009 when I was 20. Since then I am working as a tour guide. On most of the tours I am the the driver as well. I am specialized in group and individual tours all around Bulgaria, the Balkans (Serbia, Romania, North Macedonia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Hercegovina, Greece, Albania, Kosovo, Croatia, Slovenia) and some central and western European countries. I am always ready to share my knowledge with you, to show you the country in many different aspects - history, nature, culture, traditions , humour, cuisine and many more. I would like to give you the chance to experience the places like the locals do, to learn more than what is in the guidebooks and on the internet. Always with a smile on my face. Let us enjoy the charm of travelling together! Tour guiding since 2009 (license No:Е-00696 ). Master's degree in Cultural Tourism from the University of Sofia. Tour operator license No:РК-01-8073. No restricitons. I am ready to do an intensive walking tour or a long drive. I can start from any point in Bulgaria or the neighbouring countries.
