In the heart of eastern Europe, cruising Bulgaria is for the privileged few who sail far East down the Danube River, where you'll find the city of Vidin. Famous for its castles, including Belogradchik, Vidin Castle, and the well-preserved Baba Vida Fortress, where you'll even see an authentic reenactment of medieval times. A biking tour of Veliko reveals Tarnovo's Tsarevets Hill, the old citadel that protected the city. A walking tour of Rousse reveals Belle Époque architecture and Roman ruins. These excursions also visit the neighboring countries of Hungary, Serbia, Austria, Romania, Croatia, and Germany. Let us know when you're ready to start planning your Bulgaria vacation.

We have had excellent results when working with Adventure Life. We've just set up out third trip with them because the first two were great! Adventure Life has always listened, worked with us, and set up trips the way we've wanted. They've also found experiences we wouldn't have known about otherwise, that have been some of the highlights of the entire trip.

Adventure Life planned an extraordinary trip to Uruguay where we were able to see a colonial town, modern city, the coast life, and the countryside. They planned beautiful experiences such as olive oil and cheese tastings, and horseback riding through the country. The local tour company was excellent, all were so kind, knowledgable, and professional. We highly recommend Adventure Life, as we have had several fantastic experiences with them and this trip was no exception!
