I did a day trip out to Borovets with Nikolay in early January 2020. As an Aussie on a trip through Romania and Bulgaria, I didn't have any of the... read more requisite equipment with me, so to find a company that provided it all - ski clothes, ski pass, helmet, boots and skis, was incredible. I didn't know such a service even existed! I corresponded with Nikolay a few times before I arrived in Sofia, and he was always so friendly, helpful and caring, even helping me decide how to travel from Romania to Sofia to maximise my time. When he collected me for the Borovets day trip, it was like meeting an old friend! We chatted about loads on the drive out, he was so open to answering my many questions about his country, his thoughts on its past and its future, on the natural beauty of the landscape and the history of the region. The journey to the slopes flew by! The whole process was really smooth and seamless, with the collection of ski clothes and equipment completed so easily and seeing I was struggling walking in the snow, Nikolay even carried my skis for me while I got to grips with walking up to the snowy slopes! I wasn't going to bother taking the gondola up to the top of the mountain, assuming that I didn't have the skill to ski back down from so high up, but Nikolay encouraged me to, in order to "enjoy a hot chocolate with an amazing view" and I am so glad that I took his advice (again!) and then I was able to ride the gondola back down again to slopes that were better suited to my skill set. I was so tired out by the end of the day, and on the journey home thought, "Oh no, I still need to walk home from the station..." Then I remembered, no! It was a door to door service! Oh the joy! Nikolay dropped me right outside my hostel and I was so delighted with my day and with him, that I gave him a great big hug goodbye. He is running a great company and is a real delight to deal with. I would definitely recommend the ski trip to others.

  We visited Borovets for 2 nights on our way back to London from a long haul trip. We wanted to spend a day skiing but didn’t want to take loads... read more of winter gear with us on our travels so I organised everything through Balkanity Travel.
Nikolay was a fantastic help and organised lift passes, ski clothes, ski gear including helmet and goggles and the whole process was very smooth.
I’d definitely recommend Balkanity Travel to help organise your trips in Bulgaria.
