Saw some of the Bulgarian countryside, and a traditional village; guide was informative when you asked questions of him, would have liked a guide in the 4x4 as there was a lot of driving between stops without knowing anything about what we were seeing, where we were etc. lunch was ok, but I felt a bit daft as I ended up sitting on my own. The off roading was brilliant (made the day) and the forest walk was lovely. All in all a good day, but it wasn’t 8 hours as advertised
Charming villages, cultural traditions and beautiful Balkan scenery are what this tour is all about. In a powerful 4x4, you'll zoom along roads, tracks and trails of the countryside to discover real, rural and authentic Bulgaria. There's a typical lunch included.
The action begins in the scenic surrounds of Strandja Nature Park – Bulgaria's largest protected area. Here, we'll hike for around 45 minutes through the pristine forest, home to a rich variety of rare plants, birds and wildlife, before heading to Leyarnika Cave.
After a typical lunch in Mladezhko village, we'll make our way to the open-air ethnographic museum for a look at local history and culture. Heading back to base, there's a final stop at a waterfall for some time to relax.
