Asked for a three-day, customised wine tour in the Melnik region and ended up with an amazing trek through some great vineyards, with visits to monasteries and other cultural sites. Vasil knew the region like the back of his hand, all the great restaurants and places to walk - and his English is excellent so you could ask him anything about wine and Bulgaria. Every detail of the tour is worked out in advance, which meant no stress and plenty of time to focus on great wines! They also gave some great tips of where to go in Plovdiv.

BGT was recommended to us by a friend of a friend and we signed on for the 4-day tour, which included one dinner plus 3 nights lodging at hotels and spas. Two of the days were spa afternoons having toured wineries and rose oil production facility. We were fortunate to be able to craft our own tour - asking for specific things and Vasil did a spectacular job. He's really such a pro - and such a kind, articulate, well-educated and thoroughly special guy! (We didn't get to meet Zina but hope to in the future!) Number one takeaway: Bulgarian wines are absolutely amazing - and still a phenomenal value for those of us who pay $20-$30 for a bottle of decent wine. We also love history and Vasil's knowledge here also astounded us. After just 4 days we felt like we had been lucky to really have an experience that helped us ABSORB so much about Bulgaria and its proud and complex culture. Highly highly recommended!

Thankyou Vasil for responding to our interest in combining visits to Thracian tombs and icon art in cave monasteries with delicious dinners matched with wines at quality vineyards. We enjoyed learning more about the past and present of Bulgarian life, as well as gaining some wine tasting knowledge. All details were taken care of, we could relax relax and trust that you would ensure our safe arrival to the next destination. Australia is a distance from Bulgaria but, if we ever make it back here, we will certainly talk with your company about another tour.
