Traveller reviews
★ 4.1 · 8 reviewsEmbarking on a city exploration package offered by Tratoli, I anticipated an immersive guided experience, culminating with an elegant wine bar visit featuring a curated selection of appetizers, desserts, and wine tastings to tantalize the palate. However, my expectations clashed with reality as the excursion unfolded; it appeared to lack the advertised gourmet elements. Upon noticing the discrepancy with the advertised offerings, my immediate action was to contact the agency for clarification. They assured me that this was indeed their standard for a gourmet tour – a response that was both surprising and unsatisfactory. Despite assurances that our feedback prompted an increase in portion sizes, it felt far from the gourmet promise that had been touted. The absence of a diverse food tasting left me with the impression that the experience didn't match what was promised on their website, bordering on a slight of misrepresentation.

I had an excellent experience with the tour guide and found the owner of the Wine Club to be extremely welcoming during the trip arranged by Tratoli. Unfortunately, the tour did not match the advertised description. The activities and inclusions we experienced fell short of what was promised in the package.

Had an absolutely fantastic experience exploring Varna with our exceptionally informed guide, Radul, who introduced us to numerous intriguing sites during our tour. The highlight was the delightful wine tasting event, where we sampled exquisite Bulgarian wines at a charming local wine bar. The ambiance, coupled with the welcoming bar owner, was so inviting that we extended our visit for a few more hours beyond the scheduled tasting. This memorable adventure was seamlessly organized by Tratoli, making the entire trip an absolute joy.

Embarking on a self-guided tour booked through Tratoli, we encountered some initial confusion upon receiving the electronic guide, which, in our view, appeared to be a simple download from the internet. An essential component missing from the guide was a concise map detailing the various points of interest in the city. Consequently, we resorted to creating our own makeshift map using GPS for easier navigation—a small, included map would have been a profoundly useful addition. Moreover, the six promised food stops were no longer available. The Covid-19 pandemic had unfortunately led to the closure of several shops, a significant change that should have been communicated in the itinerary. Instead, all the culinary offerings were consolidated at our local winery—a while the food received was delicious, it was a deviation from what we expected. The lack of this information in the e-guide meant placing a phone call for clarity. Fortunately, the customer service was exceptionally friendly and helpful. The highlight of our journey was undoubtedly the vineyard location, featuring a local sommelier. The combination of delectable food, exquisite wine, and both entertaining and informative presentations resulted in a genuinely enjoyable experience. Overall, despite the initial confusion attributable to insufficient information provided at the start of our self-guided tour, it was a pleasant experience. It's advisable for future updates to include a user-friendly map and more detailed, up-to-date information to prevent any disorientation for participants.
