Hi Alexandra,
Happy holidays to you, your family and the terrific team who looked after us and made our visit to Bulgaria enjoyable and unforgettable! ...
Well planned tour with many personal touches! Special commendation for our guide Antoinette. Simeon, our driver is more than just a driver - helpful and considerate.
Thank you Alexandra

Hello Alexandra,
We are back home, and I think I have finally gotten my sleep cycle straightened out!! I just wanted to say thank you for putting together a wonderful tour! The tour was thoughtful, insightful and well organized. The guide Antoinette was friendly and accommodating. Vasko - our driver was excellent. My dad really enjoyed seeing things he had never seen before, as well as some familiar places. He is already talking about going to the black sea next year!!
I am waiting for my photographs to come back...I think there will be some great ones! (especially the donkey cart!)
Thanks again, and I wish you all the best.

Excellent as planned. We especially liked the email support during tour planning provided by Alexandra.
We greatly enjoyed the personal touch provided by Alexandra, the cordiality of Antoinette - the guide and Vasko - the driver.

It was a wonderful trip and satisfied our interests completely. We feel very close to Bulgaria.
...
We traveled to many places and used many tour companies. Your 'Altours' is one of the best - top place.
Alexandra, you are excellent tour person. The tour was great because of you and your husband.

ブルガリア旅行
私達夫婦は2005年の4月にブルガリアにアルツアース旅行会社 (www.altours-bg.com) のアレキザンドラさんにプランを計画してもらって約9日間の主にユネスコ世界遺産を見物してきました。 ホテルは一流、食事も最高、ガイドとドライバー付のプライベイトでお値段も手ごろでした。アルツアースはローカルの会社ですので中間の旅行会社に出す費用がはぶかりますので安かったと思います。プランはイーメイルで全部おこない全てスムースに事が運びました。ブルガリアはウエッブサイトでご覧いただけるように色々な文化文明が混ざり合っているところでそれに景色は美しいし人柄も良くとても最高な旅を楽しみました。ローマニアにも足を伸ばしましたがそれも全部アルツアーズのアレキザンドラさんがプランを立ててくれました。ソフィアではアレキザンドラさんとご主人のジョージさんがお食事に来てくださりたのしい時間が持てました。 アルツアースは信用が置けてきめ細かに希望にそって日程を立っててくれます。

The 7-day tour of Bulgaria far exceeded any expectations we had before we arrived. All details were well taken care of, well chosen hotels, good meals, interesting sightseeing.
The tour was exceptionally well organized. All hotels were very good and our guide and driver went the extra mile to make sure all our needs were met. We learnt so much about Bulgaria and had such an enjoyable time.
Our driver Vasko and tour-guide Dolly were exceptional. 'Altours' is highly recommended.

Hi Alex,
Thanks so much for such a warm welcome in Bulgaria. From our welcoming dinner to the final farewell dinner, (just ten days later) we had a wonderful, fun, educational and delicious week. The historical sites were amazing to see, considering that some dated back to the times of the Thracians (6000-2000 BC).
We have nothing like that in the US except for some Native American sites, but I don’t believe that even those are that old.

Ours is a young country, as you know, and my Bulgarian grandfather was one of the many immigrants who helped to make our country what it is today.
'Altours' was the perfect place to begin my education on the history, culture and sites to see in Bulgaria. Your web site is so easy to use and it allowed me to take a look at the Bulgarian Monasteries, the UNESCO sites, the Treasures – all with colored photos.

My favorite was the one on “Why Bulgaria?” - which I left on my wall at work so my coworkers would understand why I wanted to travel to Bulgaria.
We really appreciated the special help that you gave us so that we could meet the mother of my friend who lives in Troyan and visit the village of Stefan Stambolovo, where my grandfather was born. These special things are what really made our vacation memorable. Speaking of people, we enjoyed meeting and traveling with Dolly (who must be one of your best tour guides ) and Simeon (our driver) who was more than a driver because of the restaurants he recommended and for our special tour to the Golden Sands Beach (which wasn’t on our original itinerary). Both Dolly and Simeon became friends of ours in just one week.
Most of all, thanks to you for making our 11-day tour so special. I know that you took great pains to find the best places to stay (the small boutique hotel in Veliko Turnovo was our favorite), the best sites to see and the best places where we could enjoy our meals (which is always very important to me as a food professional).
You are the best! Thanks and Blagodarya!
