Review of Sunny Beach’s Sozopol, boat cruise, Bulgarian lunch, and Ravadinovo Castle tour, with honest advice on value and what to expect.
“First a minor negative- we weren’t contacted with a pick up time & location but when we sent a message the trip provider responded quickly and give precise and clear details. The bus turned up a few minutes early and the trip was well organised and ran smoothly. The guide, Souren, was friendly and entertaining. The trip itself was very enjoyable with enough free time to wander, clear information at each location and a good lunch. A very enjoyable day out.”
