What to expect

The real Bulgaria is calling on this exciting day in the countryside. Hop into a comfy 4x4 for a wild ride through the breathtaking Balkan Mountains, where the thrill of crossing the Aheloy River and the beauty of nature come alive. Dimitar, one of our expert local guides, says, 'You'll visit Kozichino village, the perfect place to experience the authentic Bulgarian rural way of life. Kozichino is renowned for its efforts to preserve old crafts, customs, and the traditional Bulgarian architecture of the region.'As you rumble through the Bulgarian landscapes, there will be a number of stops. Imagine the excitement as kids turn into treasure hunters in an ancient oak forest, guided by GPS, while adults test their aim with air rifle. The journey takes a scenic turn at 'Tabite,' offering a panoramic view that screams photo op. Come lunchtime, we'll swing by the timeless village of Kozichino for a cultural feast at an ethnographic complex.Here, in a vibrant courtyard, get a slice of village life, explore a museum packed with local treasures, and snap photos in traditional attire. The owner whips up his signature bio lemonade, served alongside a hearty meal of cabbage salad, grilled kebabchetas, and bread, with a beer and lemonade included. But wait, there's more – the 'Safari' orchestra sets the soundtrack to your meal, followed by an off-road adventure to Gyulovtsa, where a rakia tasting awaits.

Die Fahrzeuge sind komplett am Ende. Unsere bremsen waren so laut am kwitschen das wir Kopfschmerzen bekommen haben. Bremswirkung war kaum vorhanden. Bei der Fahrt sind öfter Mal die Türen aufgegangen??. Von den fehlenden Verkleidungen im Innenraum Fang ich gar nicht an. Scharfe Kanten und Schrauben. Jedesmal hab ich mir etwas in die Schulter oder rücken gerammt. Und zum Schluss Thema Offroad. Nur weil wir durch kaputte Straßen und Schlaglöcher fahren ist es kein Offroad. War sehr enttäuschend.

Wir hatten die aller gleiche Tour vor 4 jahren schon einmal gemacht und das Programm ist doch merklich dem Sparstift zum Opfer gefallen. Wobei das jammern auf hohem Niveau ist. Die Tour ist sehr gut geplant, alle Teilnehmer waren sehr freundlich.

The whole trip, I couldn’t stop smiling! Our tour guide, Tony was knowledgeable, and really cared about our enjoyment and safety. Our driver, Nasko clearly loves his job; and I felt very safe in his capable hands. Lunch was simple, but delicious, and there were plenty of stops for photo opportunities. I would go again - purely for the thrill of the off-roading element!

Great trip and really good driver. I would have enjoyed more information about the area, country and what we were seeing. Lovely views and great tasting stops and lunch was good. They could do with a better location for the archery etc. My expectations were increased as the day went on.

The trip is basically an expensive ride in the back of a land rover across a few dirt paths and then stopping in a few fields. The activities we did seemed like time fillers to make it seem like we did more… it was like it was being made up as we went along. Food wasn’t edible.

Prompt collection from our hotel reception in person. Lovely drive into the hills, took a few detours into fields and in & out of rivers, making it fun by accelerating through and out of the river banks. Archery, shooting and treasure hunt was fun. Lunchtime meal was a standardised sausage burger and chips, but tasty. An option to trying something Bulgarian would have been nice. Music and dancing was fun afterwards. Lemonade making was just a giant sodastream! Nice varied day of experiences.

Parts of the trip were brilliant - the offroading, quad bikes and lunch. But a huge amount of time is just spent driving over fields which is just bumpy but not exciting. And although the advert said drinks included, you get one single drink (beer, wine or soft drink) at lunch, everything else is paid for (and limited opportunities to buy water etc). There was a paid for toilet in the morning, and a free toilet at lunch

There was a large number of people on the experience which meant there was quite a bit of waiting around. Throught the quads, shooting and archery were very disappointing. The best bits were having lunch with the amazing rep. She was so friendly. The off road was good but we were out in the sun a long time.

As a family of four, 2 adults a 16 and 18 year old, this was a great fun day out seeing the countryside of Bulgaria . Plenty to do and see for each of us. Quad biking was the best ?? the off road driving was great. The food at Titus was amazing and the service was great . Very much good value for the money . Totally recommend this trip ??

Liked off road part and quads. Don’t think we should have waited and met at McDonald’s. Seemed more driving than off roading.

We got picked up in the cars we would be using for the off-road experience, and after getting everyone else, we headed to the place for the ATV driving and the likes, the quads were really fun and they gave you an opportunity to swap half way round, then when the off-road started it was lovely scenery and our particular driver was quite a mad one, and made the experience that much more fun, flying through the little rivers that were there and drenched us. Would 100% reccomend.

This day was great, I attended with a 10 year old and 12 year old who both had an amazing day. We started with archery and horse rides, the guides where excellent and looked after everything. The farm was beautiful and the kids enjoyed collecting walnuts. The next stop was quad biking which was enjoyed by everyone and the guides where great. We went on a 4x4 off road tour and lunch was at a lovely setting. It was a great day out for all would recommend.

The 4x4 experience was awesome. A great way to see the countryside and lots of fun. If you are looking for a horseriding experience this isn't for you, we stopped for ten mins and get led by reins on horse back in circle. Same with the quads.all in a line, very slow. A bit like a warm up. But great for little ones and there was archery too. Its worth it just for the 4x4.

Everything was great, only criticism is more horse riding. I thought it was going to be like a horse trail ride and it wasn’t, was more of the horse riding you’d get at a fair. It was still good but more horse riding would be better

Horse riding was slightly disappointing but guides made up for it by adding additional activities, archery and water pistol fight. The guides were very attentive and made the trip fun for the children. We laughed alot.

The only thing that we didn’t enjoy about the whole experience was that it was rearranged with out formally informing us properly other than that it was brilliant! Really enjoyed the entire excursion. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable and told us interesting facts, was friendly and funny too! He spoke fantastic English too which was helpful! We were picked up in a land rover defender and taken to our first activity. Where we got to ride horses, fire and air rifle and shoot some bow and arrows, which was marshalled very well and felt very safe doing such activities. We then took an off-road adventure towards the quad Biking- which we found to be good, however it wasn’t for very long and a short ride, they also wanted you to pair up which meant my mrs didn’t get to have a go! But other than that it was an enjoyable experience. We then went off road over the mountains towards a lovely hidden restaurant which had several animals and a small chapel to see as well as the restaurant itself. We had pork kebab lunch, cheese pie and a dessert. Which although we tried everything some of it wasn’t to our taste. But overall a fantastic experience. After lunch there was a short drive to a village to try some home grown honey, which tasted amazing and once again our guide told us everything about where the honey was made and come from. You also get to purchase some honey which we did. Honestly was so delicate and smooth! Mmmmm….. after that we traveled back to our hotel! Such a worldly, and great experience! We got to see different sites of Bulgaria and would definitely recommend it
