Tour: Balkan Village Trek (8 days progressive ride in Teteven Balkan area)
One of the best tours I have been at. Antoni is great, funny, social and telling stories about bulgarian legends and other interesting things about places we have been at. Helpful and friendly.

Tour: Orpheus Trail (8 days progressive ride in Rodopi mountains)
We must say that our guide was just perfect. He was funny and spoke very good english. He was very nice to us and was welcome at all over the places. He was fun to ride with, he gave us race and everytime he asked if we were OK. So Penguin Travel please be good with our guide, because if we are going to Bulgaria again we will have our man again.

Tour: Rila – Pirin Trek Classic (hut-to-hut, guided)
Det var en fantastisk tur. Vi var super tilfreds med vores guide Anna Marie.. Hun var bare sød, hjælpsom og kompetent. Bjergene og området var fantastisk – og det var en lidt hård tur, men det kan vi godt lide….:)

Tour: Rila-Pirin Mountain Trek (Bulgaria)
This year we went for a hiking tour in Rila- and Pirin- mountains. Our tour was perfect not the least because of our guide Anna Maria Markova. The tour full fulfilled our expectations which we had from the programme on the internet. Anna Maria was a perfect guide for us. She was a perfect leader, she was enthusiastic about the mountains, and showed great awareness to her customers and flexibility in the way things were planned due to weather and practical circumstances. She was very well orientated about the mountain history and environment and could tell us a lot about Bulgarian history and culture. We are sure that we will come back to Bulgaria. We will book the tour via Pinguin Travel and we will ask for Anne Maria to be our guide again. So we give our absolute best recommendations to this wonderful guide.

Khiva, Uzbekistan: Things to Do, How Many Days & Getting There

Khiva in short Khiva, Uzbekistan is a walled Silk Road town in the far west of the country, close to the border with Turkmenistan. Its inner town, Itchan Kala, became Uzbekistan's first UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1990. Inside the mud-brick walls you'll find mosques, madrasas, palaces and minarets packed so tightly that you can walk from one gate to the other in about 15 minutes. People still...

Cameroon Tour Guide: Best Places, Costs & Travel Tips

A Cameroon tour delivers more variety in one country than most African itineraries manage across three. Rainforest, volcanic peaks, Sahel savannah, Atlantic beaches and more than 250 ethnic groups sit within a single set of borders - which is why geographers have long called Cameroon "Africa in miniature". It is also one of the continent's least visited destinations, so the crowds you...

Mozambique Tour: Your Complete Guide to Africa's Indian Ocean Coast

A Mozambique tour swaps the safari-vehicle crowds for something rarer: 2,500 kilometres of Indian Ocean coastline, coral reefs that rank among the healthiest in Africa, and an Afro-Portuguese culture you will not find anywhere else on the continent. This is a beach-and-culture destination first, a wildlife one second - and that is exactly why it appeals to travellers who have already ticked off...
