If I could leave less I would.
Arranged a transfer from the airport and prepaid. Emailed and checked the booking process before hand but they still didn’t arrive to collect. Leaving 5 people at the airport in the middle of winter at 1am with no way of getting to the hotel, resulting in having to pay five times as much by taxi.
Spoke with them in the shop and they apologised and said it was a genuine mistake, told to email head office.
Head office have refused to refund the amount paid, never mind the cost of the taxis even after I sent them photos of correspondence and booking confirmation!!!
Appalling customer service and very rude.

Group of complete beginners - booked the full package with Traventuria, lift pass, equipment and lessons- highly recommended. Useful to fit the skis the evening before you start, tho do spend some time trying different boots for the best fit and don’t be afraid to go back to change them if you need to.
The ski instructors are very good and a special big thank you to Stefan who went to retrieve my bag which I accidentally dropped off the chair lift into the forest (whoops!).
If you feel your group lesson is too high/low level there is flexibility to change groups which ensures you get the most from your lessons. Also to add, the group lessons were sociable and friendly so don’t worry if you’re a different level from your friends and in different classes.

This is the second year I have been to Borovets with last year being a complete beginner. I had Geri as my instructor last year for four days and the improvement was vast.
This year on returning I had Stefan as my instructor and again with a small group of nice people which made it enjoyable. My skiing has improved again and I am now confident to ski alone. I went down the Musala Pathway which I have to say was my favourite run.
The service as Traventuria was excellent from start to finish. We used them for our transfer and on arrival they accommodated a ski fitting earlier than booked which allowed us to go straight out and have a few beers. The equipment was of a high quality and almost new.
I can not recommend this place highly enough. The instructor friendly and joined us for a beer after skiing had finished. Everyday was enjoyable and I was never pushed further than I felt I could go. I along with the group I came with will undoubtedly be back again next year!

The team here are great, all friendly and most with good English.
We rented our snowboarding gear as a package along with lift passes and group lessons. Our instructor was Ruddy and I cant fault him, he was extremely patient and a great instructor.
We also booked the Snowmobile Safari through these guys which was really convenient. Basically you can get pretty much everything in the same place.
Highly recommend Traventuria!

Booked transfers, ski hire and private lessons with traventuria. Found this company to be excellent and very good value. Good quality ski equipment and our instructor Tony was amazing particularly with our boys. I also inadvertently made a mistake with the date for our return transfer. They sorted this out quickly and were really lovely about it. Thank you guys.

Just coming to the end of a week’s skiing in Borovets. All our party hired skis & boots from Traventuria & had no issues collecting equipment or exchanging if it didn’t suit. Some of us also had 3 days ski lessons with Geri. She is amazing - so patient & friendly. She gave me so much confidence & definitely improved my skiing ability. We also skied with her last year & specifically asked for her again this year. No hesitation recommending Geri & Traventuria if you’re coming to Borovets.

Used these guys both times for when visiting. Good quality kit, quick and efficient set up.
Only downside was the walk from our hotel (Rila) but it wasn’t that far, just the hill on ski boots isn’t great fun with little kids

We were a group of 7 first time skiers and were a bit overwhelmed at the idea of what we needed to hire or arrange for our ski trip. Over experience with Traventuria was perfect.
Firstly, They explained everything to us and the process was smooth and easy to handle. They were extremely efficient and well equipped.
Secondly, their prices were extremely competitive. We ended up booking our transfers and skidoo trip with them too.
Thirdly, we also took ski lessons with them and I cannot express how fantastic this was. From not even knowing how to put on skis, we went onto blue slopes on day 3. This is all thanks to our fantastic instructor Zina. She was an absolute star and so patient with us, but also gave us the little nudges along the way to make sure we made the most of our lessons.
Lastly, their location is perfect, a short walk from the gondola which helps with carrying bulky ski equipment everyday. We also hired lockers with them so we could store our stuff at the end of each day. Oh, we also hired our ski clothes from them too.
I would highly recommend using them, they are a one stop shop for all your ski needs in Borovets. And also try to ask for Zina by name when booking your lessons, she is the reason why we had such an amazing trip!

My kids are age 6 (almost 7) and 9. They have both skied a few weeks before. The ski schools state kindergarten for those below 7yrs. Does my youngest have to join the kintergarten or can he join the older groups? I know he will be very bored with only limited time on the slopes.
Thanks

Hi, can anyone tell me how the kindergarten is run, my 2 youngest (age 3 and 6) will be using this but there isn't a great deal of information on the internet as to what their day actually consists of. Will they be in the same group or are they split into age groups?, will they ski?, they are both active boys and I worry they may become bored and not want to go. Thanks
Written January 15, 2017
Hi,
There are a couple of kindergartens in Borovets. The one in hotel Rila is accepting children under 4. The focus is on games and fun though they have skiing lessons for a couple of hours. Children are usually not split into age groups.
The kindergarten in hotel Samokov takes children on the age of 4+. Meals, ski equipment and a couple of hours basic lessons are included.
