If you are from Moscow, then I advise Balkan Express. It is the largest tour operator in Bulgaria. Traveled with them already 3 times to Bulgaria. And now a tour to Sozopol is booked. For all the time everything was clear and on time. There are several offices, but we use the central one. We are close. Good luck!

Yes, in fairness I will say that there was one overlay for 3 years. When paying for an individual transfer, we were not met by the Bulgarian side. We were at the VIP hall, and they didn’t figure it out, left with other tourists. But they took me from the hotel.

Through the Balkan Express it is much more expensive, we have already compared it for several years in a row
аватар irinavladnik
Audrey 11, I don’t know about more expensive. May be. But Balkan Express have a large quota. And when small firms no longer have places in good hotels, then the Balkans will most likely have them. But, of course, the cost factor must also be taken into account. Agree.

We wrote to the Balkan Express mail, they answered us
LLC "Center for International Tourism" is this what they are? Or how to understand it?
аватар irinavladnik
Yes, they are. I checked it on my mail.
аватар irinavladnik
Is there anything they really offer you?
аватар aliena_mak
Yes, and it even surprises me that it is not at all as expensive as we expected. when booking through Albena itself, the Bulgarian agency offers 60 thousand rubles for two for 10 days. If we add to this the price of a round-trip flight - + 45 thousand = 105 only flight and accommodation. And the Balkan offers for 15 days for 103 thousand including honey. insurance and transfer.

It is clear that the flight. unless it's just a visa. But there we would have done it ourselves)

After one case of refusal to us in a hotel that we like from the ICS group, also a major tour operator, we found out in our hotel how it is that the hotel is already on the foot. And heard that "Their reliable partner buys the meth in advance." The following year, of course, we turned to Balkan Express. Rechecked by calling the hotel the first year. Now I believe it 4 times already.

But, still check the entire package of documents. They send us a contract by mail, scan it, my husband signs it and send it to them. Keep everything under control. I'm always afraid to ruin my vacation. And I check everything carefully. Good luck!

places in advance.-error
аватар aliena_mak
Please, I did not understand about the places in advance ...

Everything is simple. It's no secret that major tour operators cooperate with hotels and often make hotel reservations. We had an idea to book a hotel in Sozopol on our own, as we do in Greece and Cyprus in case of business trips. But, having found out the cost of staying at the hotel on the site and plus paying for air tickets, we were surprised to calculate that it came out more expensive for us. The tour operator pre-books hotels and purchases charter flights. I do not want to write details here, and you and Us are not interested. A specific example is air tickets. We flew with S7 aircraft. Siberia. Everything is fine. Departure exactly on schedule. But, they wanted to take business class. The Balkans do not have this service. They bought the seats from the airline and therefore these tickets are inexpensive. You can even buy them separately. Information on the site. We went this year in a different way: We took a hotel, medical insurance, visas from them. Tickets were taken from the same Siberia, but Business class, (expensive) the transfer will be done by the hotel. You should not worry about the problems of tour operators. They are more complicated than what I wrote. It doesn't bother me much either. I need a guaranteed rest, and in this case a comfortable flight.
аватар irinavladnik
Yes, business class is not a whim. My husband had heart problems. Last year they postponed vacation by 1.5 months. I wrote about it. I don't want more. They took a vip hall in Burgas, so as not to stand in the sun for it. The airport is very small and the temperature and heat are extreme. We thought that we should pay twice for a VIP lounge - departure and arrival and took a business class

And another question, Aliena mak. Are you going on holiday for the first time or just talking to people? No offense!!!
аватар irinavladnik
