Brilliant tour but the tour operator is very disorganised.

Nikki_B, Aug 2022
The tour itself was brilliant and so much fun! Stanko was our driver, he was punctual, polite and an excellent off- road driver. The views were spectacular and we thoroughly enjoyed the trip. We would have given 5 stars except for the communication from the tour operator was terrible. They took ages replying, got the wrong date and did not actually confirm until 10.30pm the night before our tour. This is no reflection on the actual tour itself but caused added anxiety and stress which was unnecessary.

Response from Host, Sep 2022

Hello Nikki, thanks for your review! The tour is fantastic truly! The communication was burdened because of the change of date which the platform wrongly advised and switched several times. We were waiting for the official date of the platform which took more time. In the end everything was great and the driver with the jeep came privately to your camping to pick you up and to show you the beautiful nature, views and sights in this 2-hour experience. We welcome you back anytime you will visit soon. Best regards, Hristo
