Perfect trip and totally worth it. Giuliana was an excellent guide. We really enjoyed our time in Bulgaria full of history, culture and heritage!

When we arrived at the border of Bulgaria, the driver realized that he had forgotten his passport.
We returned to Bucharest around 12 am.
We lost the evening of the day before because we went to bed early for nothing and we lost all our morning in the van.
We had to fight to obtain the equivalent of 5€ of compensation.
No respect and no appreciation of the time we lost.
Money machine without any customer service.
Disgraceful.

I didn't even think that was possible for a day trip to go so wrong. We arrived at the border after more than 3 hours of driving (there was some traffic) and the driver didn't have his ID. We couldn't go through the border because of him and we had to drive back to Bucharest.
UNBELIVABLE !!!!!!!!!! More than 5 hours lost in a 3 days' trip.
I had to fight with the agency to reschedule as they didn't want to. They simply offered to reimburse me and nothing else. I was super pissed off. In the end, I did go on the trip after having argued a lot but they didn't offer any other compensation.
Worse customer service ever. In the car on the way back, the guide tried to guilt trip us by saying the manager was pissed off (well newsflash, so were we!!!) and that the driver would get a pay cut or even lose his job altogether. In addition to the guilt trip, they didn't even want to reschedule and I still haven't heard from them regarding a compensation for the time lost & the worst experience ever.
