Bulgaria is undergoing an amazing transformation and nobody is better placed than us together to follow developments. Lately, we increasingly cross borders into the neighbouring countries of Greece, Macedonia, Romania and Serbia on various integrated tour themes, such as the rich natural history and cultural heritage of this fascinating South-eastern cradle of civilization of Europe and the world.
