★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 25 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $119

Review of Balchik’s four-hour Black Sea yacht picnic, with coastal views, lunch, drinks, swimming, practical tips, and honest value advice.

“I had a relaxing day on the boat. The crew kept the drinks flowing, and we were able to take a brief swim in the Black Sea. However, given the price, I expected more. They could have provided better commentary about our surroundings, improved lunch and dessert options, and offered snorkeling equipment and life vests to enable someone to stay in the water for a longer duration. These amenities are standard on boat tours I’ve experienced in other countries. Having traveled to over 41 countries, this was the first trip where I felt the service and amenities did not match the price of the cruise..”

“We took the self-guided tour. We were really confused when we received the E-guide. To our opinion it was a guide downloaded from google. We also missed a small map which guided us to the diffrent points in the city. We had to create our own little map on the GPS to navigate us. A small map would be helpfull. The Six stops of food are also not present anymore. Due to Corona a lot of shops closed but this needed to be stated on the itinerary. We received all the food at our local winery but we were confused that the e-guide did not gave us this info. I…”
