Ride Varna’s countryside and Black Sea coast by bike, visiting Ovech Fortress, Shabla Lighthouse, and a historic village church.

“We were expecting electric bikes (we are 68 years old), but our tour guide brought regular bikes. This would have been fine, but there were very steep inclines on the ride and my husband couldn’t do it and turned back alone. Even though I’m in great shape and bike regularly, I needed to get off and walk my bike up the hill. Our 32 year old son even needed to do this at one point. I can’t fathom how the tour guide thought that two senior citizens could make it up to the top of the hill. He should have returned with electric bikes once he saw us. Otherwise, he…”

Review of Varna’s private gourmet tour, combining historic sights, Bulgarian wines, local dishes, a sommelier, and flexible pickup.

“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.
