Roberto Oviedo Pérez, Spain:
Guía muy profesional, en muy buen estado de forma. Lo que te permite disfrutar de rutas de larga duración.
Conocedor de la biodiversidad y la toponimia de los montes búlgaros.
Un placer haber compartido una semana de trekking.
My friends and me went ski touring in February 2019 on Mt.Musala and other hills, with great guide Mitko! Mitko was safety conscious and super friendly and definitely is one of best guides we have ever met in our guided tours.
We also have very good snow conditions! Bulgaria and Mitko, we will be back! :):)
