Дякуємо нашому водію та гіду Філіпу - супроводжував протягом всієї подорожі, цікаво розповідав про місця, які відвідували та про історію Болгарії. Рекомендую!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Je recommande cette expérience qui n’aurait pas été la même sans notre chauffeur. Pas une minute pour s’ennuyer. Il nous a raconté de nombreuses anecdotes. J’ai absolument apprécié cette escapade à Skopje. Je ne sais pas si j’aurais tenté cette aventure seul depuis Sofia. Je la conseille vivement avec Vtravel pour qui viendrait visiter la Bulgarie pour une semaine. Du fond du cœur, merci pour tout. Благодаря за всички.
