I had a great time here and the views were amazing. I do recommend that you pack a bag with food and water. This was an all day thing and because it was a Sunday the small food places that were around closed pretty early/ or weren’t open at all. If you go throughout the week I would pack cash for buying food. Also you should pack layers of clothing/comfortable clothing just in case because many parts get very cold while others are warmer and you can downgrade your clothing. Please be aware of animals, we did see some foxes but they didn’t engage with us. The tour guide was amazing, and very informative. Also maybe bring a portable charger for your phone, it is an all day thing and they’re weren’t any chargers. We got to the drop off area by metro which was great and inexpensive.

The walk is very interesting, the 7 lakes have a spectacular landscape, it requires a relatively good physical condition. Regarding the Rila Monastery, it is a very interesting monument, but since the journey takes quite a long time, there was not much left for the visit. I think that at the end of October the days have few hours of daylight, so it is difficult to get to the monastery with good light.

Hi, I'm Simona and I did this excursion on October 30th 2022 with another girl. Beautiful place, it is absolutely not describable with photos and videos, but it must necessarily be experienced firsthand. It is difficult to climb to the top, but for the less trained, you can choose a shorter but always beautiful route !!! Perfect and very clear organization even for those who, like us, have a lot of difficulties with English.
