Overall I had a great holiday, and came away loving Bulgaria and the Bulgarian people. As far as The Natural Adventure Company are concerned, the booking process, helpfulness, organisation and care for the client were very good. As a solo female traveller I did not feel uneasy or threatened in any situation.
