The local managers carried out the entire program of our "Resort Romance" tour flawlessly. During the trip, we had a wonderful opportunity to escape the noise of the city and the hustle of metropolitan life. Every day, we were surrounded by stunning landscapes: mountains, rivers, fields, and gardens. Everywhere we looked, animals were peacefully grazing: cows, horses, sheep. Taking in these views felt truly relaxing... Bringing a deep sense of harmony with nature. Our group was small and flexible, just 10 people (ages 45-50+), traveling in a comfortable bus. Our guide, Eduard, made the experience even more enjoyable. What we appreciated most was that he let us set our own walking pace, never rushing us or imposing a fixed rhythm. He also gave us plenty of free time to explore the sights or shop for souvenirs: a rare and valuable quality in a guide. We were all incredibly grateful for that. Eduard shared many fascinating stories about the region and its history, always answering our countless questions with patience and enthusiasm. We loved everything about this trip.
