Testimonials

Excellent holiday. Scenery amazing. Walking routes were well chosen and varied. Hotel in Perast was perfect, stunning room, and great having meals at waterside.

Susan Steel

We had a lovely trip to Montenegro, definitely one of the best holidays I’ve done for a long time- perfect mixture of walking, amazing scenery and chances to relax! We were all very impressed and will definitely recommend your holidays to active friends!

Katrin Harding

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.
