9 slightly mature Brits touring Bulgaria on a variety of motorcycles. What could go wrong? Well, actually nothing, which says a lot for Bultrips and our brilliant guide Adrian. We slightly customised one of Bultrips tours to include some Soviet Military museums as well as the fascinating ancient culture of Bulgaria.
Our tour took us East via Plovidiv , though the mountainous south to the Black Sea coast, working up the coast then returning west to Sofia. About 1000 miles in total on the Bultrips owned machines. Every site visit and hotel was organised in advance. The hotels were all very acceptable, included in the very reasonable tour price and mostly central to town. Adrian was always with us to organise and translate as we went along.
I'd highly recommend these guys who really go the extra mile to make sure you enjoy your tour. The machines rented were a mix as we were a big group, but the base bikes were Yamaha 700. Not all have ABS, apparently not uncommon in Bulgaria. All the bikes were maintained and reliable with quality tyres.
