Hi All, new User to the forum, planning on a trip to Borovets in Late [28] January and wondered what peoples thought are on Tour operators versus Independant?? had a look at the big TOs and they are offering some pretty cheap prices for a package love to hear your thoughts
personally I like to do everything diy and that's because I can get easyjet flights local to me which have great flight times. I rent an apartment which will sleep 4 people comfortably and that's about £300 split between 4 and i can choose who i want to use for transfers, ski hire, lessons etc...
never booked with a TO, i have noticed a lot seem to be half board and that's something i wouldn't consider in bulgaria with the cost of eating out being so reasonable...
There are some good package deals to be had outside of school holidays and if you don't mind staying a bit further out - Victoria, Bor or Eidelweiss. If you book late these can be cheaper than a flight alone so is often still more economical even if you eat out. Apartments depend on how many people are sharing the cost for families, I would say look at the offers but for a group of paying individuals diy could be better. Having said that we DIY all the time!
