“We had a trip to the Vitosha mountains and Lake Pancharevo. Our guide Simeone was really good and gave us lots of information. He was punctual and very friendly Vitosha mountain is beautiful and it was nice to get out of the city. The lake was ok and we walked all around it but the one side of the lake meant walking along a main road and in hindsight we would have only done the one side of the lake.”
