ABOUT US
Our Philosophy
Wild Bulgaria is a new family holiday and exciting travel adventure company, offering a range of inspiring and dynamic activities in the unspoilt and picturesque mountainous region of south-eastern Bulgaria, a country rich in history, tradition, culture and outstanding natural beauty.
Our Wild Bulgaria commitment to you:
- Responsible tourism - We run our trips in a responsible manner. Socially, Culturally, Economically and Environmentally.
- Quality - We don’t aim to be the most luxurious or the cheapest family holiday, but we do aim to give the best value service we possibly can. We do not cut corners in our commitment to providing you with an adventure of a lifetime.
- Satisfaction - We rely very heavily on word of mouth and repeat custom for our bookings, consequently it is imperative that we give our family holiday clients the best adventure holiday possible. We believe that with our differing backgrounds in the sales/leisure/tourist industry and with our extensive research of providing adventure holidays, we are confident our combined skills will inspire you to plan another family holiday with us.
- Feedback - At the end of every trip, we provide our clients with a questionnaire that we urge you to fill in about your family holiday. We rely very heavily on our clients’ feedback to maintain and improve the quality of your adventure holiday.
- Accuracy - We do our utmost to make sure that the information provided on our website and in our literature is accurate. However things can and do change due to circumstances beyond our control.
