Tour Reviews
Amazing experience in Bulgaria. Taken to the best wine bars in the City and Betty is a great host who chose the best Bulgarian wines to taste as well as explaining some history and details about the wines. She made the experience very enjoyable and there was no rush at any of the bars. I would definitely recommend this tour and so would any of the 8 in our group!
We did the Sofia wine tour with 13 people. Betty took us to two very nice wine bars where we sampled some excellent wine. Great host and great tour, I can definitely recommend.
