About the tours

Leadership
Pavel Simeonov leads most of the tours personally. He is one of Bulgaria´s leading naturalists and ornithologists, one of the Swarovski Recommended Bird Guides. Being actively involved with conservation programmes at national and international level Pavel is able to provide a wealth of background information on wildlife matters, and indeed on cultural topics. He has conducted numerous trips as a bird-guide and leader. Qualified as an international expert on environmental and biodiversity conservation projects he is also the founder of the Le Balkan-Bulgaria non-profit organization. He is involved in different studies on the "Via Pontica" flyway (along the Bulgarian Black Sea coast), several monitoring and management projects on globally threatened species, mid-winter counts of water birds and raptors and many other international programs for the development of eco-tourism.

Air Travel
It has never been easier to reach the Bulgarian Black Sea as British Airways now flies direct to VARNA (just south of Albena). Another option could be to take a charter flight offered by Balkan Holidays from May to September. It is also possible to fly to Burgas. For this we take an extra charge of EUR 150 to cover the tour leader's travel expenses.

This is entirely optional leaving you completely free to make personally your flight reservations and to pursue your travel arrangements with an airline company or your own travel agent. Please contact us if you would like further clarification: office@branta-tours.com
