Hello!Could anyone tell what it will roughly cost for a taxi from outside Sofia Airport to Borovets?
I have a minibus booked, but 4 of us are arriving from Manchester and one from London. Arrival times are similar but if London has massive delay doubt minibus will wait so just after idea of price so he doent get ripped off if it happens.
Cheers!

Others will tell you the price but I would say that you should go to the OK taxi desk in arrivals and make the deal with them - it'll be better than the meter rate outside
re: Taxi from Sofia
I read an article about this sometime ago on the SofiaEcho site. There is one company offering fair prices. The delboys have have their own taxis with almost identical names to trap the unwarying tourist. Can't remember the names so best you trawl through the SofiaEcho site or wait for a recommendation.
