Bulgaria – 2026

We are working through my bucket list to see all of the countries in Europe including their capital cities. This 13 day Gate1 trip was new in 2026 and mirrors a similar trip offered by Rick Steves tours. Georgi, our guide, said he designed this trip and he did a good job. We spent about 3 weeks in Greece prior to arrival in Sofia and spent an extra 2 nights in the capital city before the tour started.
