What You’ll Experience

This incredible tour either begins with pick-up from your hotel if you’ve chosen this option or with meeting our local hosts for the experience. The experience takes place in Gorno Draglishte village which is a place filled with history, tradition, and culture. You will be greeted by the energetic & cheerful babi (grandmothers). You will have the opportunity to participate in traditional local dances called horo, weave a razboi, and dress in traditional local nosii (folklore costumes). You will also make souvenirs which you can take and have 100% fun with this unique product. The many traditional local dishes will amaze you and you would experience the taste of the Bulgarian cuisine. You are also going to taste locally brewed rakia, which is a traditional Bulgarian alcoholic drink. This is an experience of a lifetime you cannot miss while in Bansko or the area. Choose between the 2 options – with or without transport and be fully flexible.
