★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 36 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $131Our pick

Full-day Mt. Vitosha hike from Sofia, summit views, then Boyana waterfall. Hotel pickup, English guides, small group, $131.

“I was hesitant to book a solo day hike for such a high cost, but I really wanted to hike Vitosha so took the plunge. I'm glad I did. The tour was fantastic. But even better was my guide, whose name shamefully on my part eludes me at the moment. :- We started out hiking up to the Boyana waterfall which was a treacherous scramble in parts, but nothing too serious and well worth the effort. We then took a slight detour as I was curious if we could get up over the falls and we got a nice early panorama of Sofia. From there, we hiked to another peak…”

“We were picked up by George from our hotel and straight away we were put at ease. He gave lots of information about Sofia, things we would not have heard anywhere else as well as recommendations for things to do in the city. The hike itself was amazing but make no mistake it's not an easy hike. We hiked down to Boyana Waterfall first which was stunning, with spectacular views over the city. We hiked back up and had a break in the hut before starting on our hike up to one of the peaks of the mountain. George was fantastic, going at a pace that we could keep up…”

Snowshoe up Bulgaria’s Vitosha Mountain from Sofia. English guide, gear included, winter views, and smart route options in harsh weather.

“Georgi è stato fantastico! Ero da solo nel tour,perciò è stata davvero un'esperienza magica e vissuta a pieno. Servizio serio, Georgi disponibilissimo, mi ha spiegato tantissime cose,mi ha anche fatto foto, ha valutato la mia condizione fisica e siamo arrivati prima a 20 minuti dalla massima vetta (purtroppo c'era molto vento che non faceva vedere il panorama e quindi abbiamo ritenuto inutile proseguire nell'ultimo tratto) e dopo al rifugio inferiore,facendo percorsi fantastici e insoliti. Perfettamente in orario, entusiasta del suo lavoro, si vedeva che ha davvero passione. Forse abbasserei leggermente il prezzo dell'attivitá,ma è l'unica (piccola) "pecca" per un'esperienza del genere. Nel ...”
