Bulgarian Seven Lakes Wonder - Three thousand meters up, an amazing cable car ride and beautiful scenery all the way. At the top viewing the lakes is also amazing. Clear pools of loveliness. Can be chilly up here so bring a jumper and light, water proof coat. Bring a packed lunch! Getting to the first lake viewing point is strenuous and a bit of hike, steep in places. Going to the very top of the walk involves a very steep walk up an incline to get the view of all seven lakes. However, well, well worth it. I'm glad we did this one, even though you are pushed physically at some points. Guide exceptional, had lived from where we come from which was a great bonus. He even brought us at the end to a Bulgarian take out / cook house for traditional food which we took back to our hotel for tea. Food very good and tasty.

A great trip. We had... - A great trip. We had fantastic weather and Maria was the best guide. We will cherish our memories of this hike.

The beauty of nature - Beautiful experience! The 7 Rila Lakes is one of the most beautiful places I could see and our guide was wonderful! Totally worth your time and money

very nice - The tour guide was cooperative and loyal in performing his work with utmost credibility and ethic .He was concerned with the safety and comfort of the tourist

Highly recommend this tour and Antonio as a guide! - The entire process was seamless. We were picked up from our chosen address at 8am by our guide Antonio, who was very personable and friendly. The drive took around 1 and a half hours, following which we took the chairlift up to the lakes (lasting 25 mins). Antonio was a great guide - he provided us with relevant and interesting information relating to the lakes, and was also understanding when we wanted to take breaks on the hike itself. He was willingly on hand to take photos and was a great conversationalist. I would highly recommend this tour and Antonio as a guide. The views of the lakes are stunning and you will be in great hands.

The perfect day trip during my trip in Bulgaria. - I was a bit nervous the day before the trip because I am a solo traveller and I was wondering how a day trip just me and the guide could be. Actually my guide, Antonio made this day a perfect one! He was very punctual in the morning when he came and pick me up at my hotel and the drive to the Rila Lakes was very nice. He is the best guide you can ask for your next trip: we kept talking from the moment he picked me up until the moment he dropped me off in the afternoon. His knowledge goes beyond every possible expectation and he is always trying his best to make the trip an unforgettable one: he definitely accomplished it! Once we arrived at the mountains he was very caring and he often asked me if I wanted to take some breaks to catch my breath before continuing. The hike is not very hard, but the first and the third part are the most challenging ones, especially if you are not used to walking in steep paths. The panoramic view once you reach the top of the hike is speechless, and it is the perfect day trip if you want to get away from the heat of Sofia and the city life for one day. Take the trip, you will enjoy it very much.

Fun Snowtime in June - We had a fun tour with Antonio, two full days of planned private tours. I would definetly recommend this tour ans Antonio as a tour guide. This tour was a blast we never expected to find somuch snow but it was an unexpected surprise and an amazing experience. We loved it.

Patient and friendly tour guide, beautiful views of rila lakes - This was one hell of an amazing tour. Our tour guide Antonio was very patient with me as when going up the mountain I started to feel dizzy and waited for me to be okay before continuing walking up. He explained to us every lake we walked to with the names and a breif description of them. Since our drive was a little far away we played some songs and made us feel very comfortable and had a great chat too. Antonio is an amazing tour guide and highly recommend to other travellers.

Breathtaking views and awesome guide Antonio - We did a day trip with our group of friends to the seven Rila Lakes, guided by Antonio. The first part of the hike was pretty steep, but things got a bit easier after that. Antonio was a great guide; friendly, funny, young energy, talkative but not too loud. He gave us a lot of great tips of the area too. It was basically like having another friend on our hike. The private tour was rather on the expensive side, but it was definitely worth it! The views during the hike were breathtaking, even more when the sun came out. This day trip was by far our favorite day during our Bulgaria 2-week vacation! Thanks!
