Mountain Leader
Sofia, Bulgaria
UIMLA
I work as a mountain leader since 2006, both with individuals and larger organized groups, mainly English speaking.
Together with a group of colleagues we offer a wide-range of activities: hiking, trekking, rock climbing and mountain biking, snowshoeing, ice climbing, ski touring and off-piste skiing.
All our guides are certified, experienced and passionate about their job and will guide you with a smile and care through the wild beauty of the Bulgarian and the Balkan mountains.

Lyuben was a very friendly and competent guide. We unfortunately had to change our tour completely due to excessive winds as the 7 Lakes chairlift was closed. We hiked instead up the mountain and Lyuben did a nice job of navigating us on snowshoes through attractive snowy routes in the forest as the snow level improved. The wind was too harsh without visibility once we got up to the top so unfortunately it was not safe (and it would have been miserable) to attempt hiking further within the 7 Lakes region. As an alternative, Lyuben offered to take us on a snowshoe tour to visit a frozen waterfall before heading back down. He also refunded the money that would have been used for the chairlift. Before starting the trip, he was proactive and helpful with his communication. We appreciate it also that he modified the price given that we were already in the region and did not need transport to/from Sophia.

Lyuben is a very good guide. More than a ski touring guide , he is a perfect travel organiser. We were a group of 4 Belgium guys around 50 to make the 4 days touring ski tour. He chose for us a very good family guesthouse, with very good food. He let us discover local thermal bath, traditional restaurant. About ski touring, Lyuben chose each day the best spot possible for the landscape and the snow adapted to the changing weather conditions. Time keeping was perfect. Zero stress for any situation. He has a comfortable car and does not hesitate to drive hours to bring us to the best area or to bring back us to the airport. Very friendly, super adaptive with us, I warmly recommend Lyuben.
