The opportunity of Mladen and Joy showing me their home country made the experience of seeing Bulgaria very fulfilling. The country is beautiful, the people are warm and friendly, the foods and wines are great, and the history is very interesting. The guide was very knowledgeable about the entire country.

This tour met or exceeded our expectations in all regards. Although we lived in Switzerland for several years, we thoroughly enjoyed the exposure to many new sights and a more in depth understanding of the history and culture. Joy, Mladen and the tour guides were all outstanding and made this an experience we will long remember. Joy’s detailed preparation before and her hands on involvement during our trip where beyond our expectations. We cannot offer a more positive evaluation of her role in making this a fabulous experience!!

We did not really know what to expect. The food, the wine, the truffle hunting, the cooking class were all terrific. Not too much time spent on the bus. The private tour of the Vatican was so inspiring and wonderful. It would be very hard to replicate this trip as an individual. This is a unique experience to meet some great new people, taste some delicious wine and to learn more about them. This is a trip anyone who has not been to Italy can enjoy as can people like us who have already visited Italy numerous times.

I would recommend highly and not hesitate to travel with Mladen & Joy again and this wonderful group who I can now call my friends. We laughed always, drank and ate fine foods every day and experienced beautiful parts of Italy. Love the truffle hunt, the cooking class, the dinner with Salvatore Ferragamo. The Sistine Chapel was an unbelievable experience. Many thanks for the trip of a lifetime!!!! It was positively the most wonderful travel experience I have ever had. Every detail was taken care of with worry free travel for all. Made friends for life!

Mladen and Joy did a fantastic job, showing us so many aspects of Bulgaria, helped to realize the beauty of the country.  The trip was most beneficial because of the personal stories including what life was like under the Communists.  Wines were wonderful from the many SB, Roses to Malbecs. Again much enhanced by Mladen’s knowledge of both wines and country. Great variety, quality, and quantity. Wineries were fun & educational. From the first meal with all eyes popping after seeing our first Bulgarian salad to our last meal food was great. Food experience went from everyday Bulgarian to Fusion fantastic choices.  Our guide Kamen was extremely knowledgeable and was a perfect addition to the group. I told friends prior to the trip that I would come back as an expert on Bulgaria, little did I know how true that was thanks to Kamen.  Loved it all: villages, cities, resorts, monasteries - all with their individual stories. Museums gave new education on Bulgarian history. I can't say enough about the visit and the performance at the School of Bulgarian Folklore & Dance. Wow!

Excellent value for money. The trip exceeded my expectations. Because Bulgaria is still an undiscovered country, this trip enlightens you on all aspects of culture, history, beauty, and an understanding of the people. Great immersion into wines, foods, and understanding of what living under communism was like.

The winery visits appealed to guests of widely varying knowledge regarding wine, but you must be interested in learning about wine to enjoy this in-depth quality exposure to the industry. Bordeaux is an extremely charming city, and both hotels were great. Overall, a great trip that exceeded expectations.

This trip was well planned and seamlessly executed. It provided fabulous Italian experiences including not just truly amazing food and wine, but exploring hilltop villages, truffle farm, organic farm, and cheese making, all at the same time while making new friends from our club! Traveling together is just more fun! Also, there were many simple pleasures difficult to put value on -  like not having to schlep luggage from place to place, but transported for us to the next hotel and placed in our room by the time we arrived! Job well done both Mladen and Joy!

If you are looking for a 5-star trip that exceeds your expectations and if you have a great Sommelier like, Mladen Stoev, as your guide we would highly recommend this trip! The careful planning and attention to our needs and comfort made our experience an exceptional one. A trip that was as perfect as one could hope for!

The Bordeaux experience exceeded my expectations. I really enjoyed the hotels, Chateau's visited as well as all the meals. We all booked dinners together (our expense) and that was a wonderful experience too with the other guests. I would go again!

David J.

We had experiences and saw things we would have never known to exist if we had tried this on our own.

This trip was so amazing for us. I was nervous not being involved in the trip plan like I normally would be. I have to say it was better than any trips I have planned. To us this was a perfect delivery of an amazing wine, food and history experience in one of the most beautiful places in the world. Scenery that takes your breath away; experiences that you are not likely to find yourself; with a relaxed, seamless execution; and a love for the experience that is contagious. A sommelier added tremendous value to our trip. Mladen made the experience fantastic - growing a deep appreciation not only for wine but the soulful nature of experiencing wine and making new friends. His deep understanding of wine and his enthusiasm for it was one of the many highlights of our trip. He helped grow our appreciation at a much deeper level.
