Last Feb - Peter, Vasil and lads that hang around Francos were really helpful and relaxed about lessons but i'd quite like to have something confrimed before i go for her.

You are being misled by your tour operator Victoria - the minimum age in Borovets is 7.

I'm going to drink from the holy grail on this one Tim Cool Maybe each tour operator has different regulations, We're traveling with Inghams, perhaps thats who you went with? There is nothing to stop me from booking lessons with Balkan though. Thanks for looking it up for me Pete! Very Happy

Oh no..i've just been looking on Balkan website. It says on there that board hire and lessons are only available for 13 & over. Now...I'm not suggestion you are wrong Pete ...but are you Sssssure now??
