Thank you from the heart for this wonderful journey. For me (Maria), visiting Oman was a long-held dream, and I'm delighted we trusted "Thousand Voyages" to make it come true. The program struck a perfect balance—packed with activities yet relaxed, thanks to Emo's calming presence and patience. Through our guides, we gained deep insights into local culture and traditions. A special thanks to Emo for treating the group to daily coffee breaks with the finest coffee I've ever tasted! We can't wait to travel again with "Thousand Voyages" and our fellow adventurers. Maria Zaharieva for the trip to Oman in December 2024
Oman was an incredible experience! The program was exceptionally well-designed and thoughtfully arranged. I especially want to highlight the outstanding contribution of our group leader Emil, who handled everything masterfully—including several challenging situations. For Emil, it's clearly not just work but a genuine pleasure to take care of his group members. Thank you so much, Emo. Diana Damyanova for the trip to Oman in December 2024
Dear Pavel and Emo! Thank you for the wonderful experience in Oman. I'm absolutely delighted! The country proved to be fascinating, pristine, well-organized, and stunningly beautiful. The company was fantastic—I would love to travel with these people again! Special thanks to Emo for his patience and infectious enthusiasm! Have a great day and continued success! Penka Konstantinova for the trip to Oman in December 2024
Thank you from the bottom of my heart! This experience was—and will remain—unforgettable and unique. The beauty must be seen in person, as words alone cannot capture or convey its essence. I look forward to future adventures, especially the hiking trips. Vesselina Vetseva for the trip along the Great Wall of China, September 2024
Thank you, Pavka, for capturing these wonderful moments during our incredible ten-day adventure! We had such a great time! I'm grateful for all the laughter, friendship, tolerance, and that peaceful feeling of being among kindred spirits. Until next time—hopefully soon! Now back home, reflecting on our five hikes along remote, deserted sections of the Great Wall of China. We traversed the endlessly winding wall, climbing and descending countless steps, making our way through narrow, jungle-like overgrown passages that were sometimes incredibly steep. The reward? Breathtaking views from above. We stayed in charming rural guesthouses, feasting on local Chinese cuisine. The Chinese beer proved quite good, though we kept accidentally encountering their infamous "pineapple" brandy (a local favorite we could have done without!). Most importantly, we shared so many laughs together. Thank you, Pavel Gospodinov, for these joyful days! Rumyana Kinkina for the trip to China in September 2024
Pavka, thank you for your excellent care before, during, and after our Chinese adventure, and for creating such a vibrant experience 🙏🫶! To our entire adventure team—I'm delighted we shared such wonderful emotions, moods, and pure joy for the senses 🤩🫶! Thank you so much for the wonderful emotional gifts and your kind words about them 🙏🫶! The photographs are truly magical in their captured moments, colors, and craftsmanship 👏🙏! The black and white shots are especially iconic, made more powerful by your chosen approach. Thank you also for making every journey with you a rich, full experience—authentic, colorful, refreshingly non-commercial, and always revealing 🙏🫶. I wish you energy for creating new adventures, and I look forward to joining you on future journeys 🥳. Anna Vdovichina for the trip to China in September 2024tember 2024
Thank you for the unique emotions—every minute was an unforgettable experience. This is my first time traveling with Thousand Journeys, but I already know I want to explore many more places with them. Sonya Pusheva for the trip to China in September 2024.
Hello Pavka. Thank you again for the perfectly organized trip to this exotic dream destination. The chimpanzee photo you sent captures the peace, warmth, hope, and satisfaction that we all need. Thank you and see you again. Vesselina Vrblyanska for the trip to Uganda and Rwanda, July 2024.
A wonderful destination, perfect organization by Thousand Journeys (once again), and amazing people in the group—that was my experience of Rwanda and Uganda. Thank you, Pavka and everyone, for making this trip unforgettable. Kirilka Popova for the trip through Uganda and Rwanda, July 2024.
A wonderful journey filled with unique experiences and memories of this emblematic adventure! Heartfelt thanks for the perfect organization! I'm grateful to everyone in the group for their friendly spirit and understanding. Special thanks to Pavel for sending such comprehensive and detailed materials, beautifully illustrated with photos! Ogniana Taneva for the trip to Uganda and Rwanda, July 2024.
Thanks to "A Thousand Voyages" and Emo Doychinov for an incredible journey filled with unforgettable memories! The organization was impeccable. Iceland had been our dream destination for years. Though we typically plan trips independently, the costs of car rental and accommodations for two had always proved prohibitive. We discovered "A Thousand Journeys" through a Facebook post about boutique trips, and their "Almost Complete Tour of Iceland in the Summer" perfectly matched our wishlist. After two conversations with Emo and a quick email exchange, everything fell into place. He monitored weather forecasts and adjusted our itinerary to showcase Iceland's beauty and mystique at its finest. Beyond handling logistics like minibus driving, parking, and accommodation, Emo went above and beyond. Despite two days of typical Icelandic rain, we made the most of our time. He surprised us with countless unplanned stops, each more stunning than the last. By the final days, we trusted him completely to lead us to new wonders. We left refreshed and enriched, carrying memories of volcanoes, black beaches, glaciers, geysers, and charming villages. Our group was extraordinary—having a geologist and botanist among us, alongside Emo's expertise, created the perfect exploration team. We were delighted to discover that experiencing Iceland could be both magnificent and budget-friendly! The final surprise came when Emo shared a link to his professional photos. Thank you again, Emo—we hope to travel with you soon! Rumyana Raykova, Martin Tsolov for the trip through Iceland, July 2024
A magical excursion! Heartfelt thanks to Emo for his dedication and thoughtful attention throughout this wonderful experience! Warm wishes to our fellow Icelandic travelers—what a fantastic group! 'A Thousand Journeys' has truly discovered the secret to creating joy through travel. Deniza Nikolova for the trip through Iceland, July 2024
Thanks to Pavel for the exceptional organization and for all the wonderful emotions we shared. The group's unity made this journey truly special. Vesselina Vrblyanska for the trip to Uganda and Rwanda, July 2024
We were fortunate to join the Iceland group tour in July 2024. Our guide Emo made the experience truly special, filling our journey with rich emotions and memorable experiences. His professionalism ensures we'll return for future adventures! Stanka, Stoyan and Ognyan about the trip through Iceland, July 2024
Thanks to "Thousand Voyages," my lifelong dream of exploring Iceland finally came true. We circumnavigated the entire island, discovering magnificent locations while Emil, like a magician, delighted us with surprises at every turn. The journey was fantastic—peaceful and joyful throughout. Tommy and I are deeply grateful to you, Emo! With many dreams still ahead, we'll definitely travel with "Thousand Voyages" again! Iva Apostolova about the trip around Iceland in July 2024
Thank you to "Thousand Voyages," Emil Doychinov, and Pavel for their flawless organization and execution.

Heartfelt thanks to "Thousand Journeys" and Emo Doychinov for fulfilling my long-held dream.

Through this, we truly experienced the soul of Uzbekistan. Special thanks to my fellow travelers—your understanding made this journey extraordinary. Until next time. Stelyana for the trip to Uzbekistan in May 2024
I'm deeply grateful for our remarkable Uzbekistan journey in early May. The program, unique among travel agencies, exceeded all expectations. Every aspect was meticulously planned—from the perfectly located hotels to the comfortable buses and punctual transfers. Our knowledgeable local guides provided detailed insights while ensuring our comfort throughout. The journey to the Aral Sea bed was phenomenal, and visiting Khiva felt like stepping into the pages of 1001 Nights. The Silk Road cities were equally mesmerizing. Special thanks to Emil for his attentive care that made our adventure so enjoyable. Lily and Bobby for the trip to Uzbekistan in May 2024.
I want to express my gratitude to Pavel for the excellent excursion and remarkable sites we visited. The new friendships made it even more special! Antonia Savelieva for the trip to Nepal and Bhutan in May 2024.
Thank you, Pavel and the entire group. Meeting new friends who share a passion for travel was wonderful. We truly had an amazing time! Nelly Shtereva for the trip to Nepal and Bhutan in May 2024. What a delightful journey—diverse and fascinating throughout. I'm grateful we could share so many emotions and experiences together. Special thanks to Pavel for his dedication and thoroughness.

Traveling with "Thousand Voyages" is pure pleasure! The flawless organization, exceptional guide, and carefully chosen destinations made our journey through Bhutan and Nepal truly unforgettable! Emo Doychinov, when shall we embark on our next adventure? Daniela Borisova about the trip to Nepal and Bhutan in April 2024
Our time in Tromsø was absolutely incredible—a journey we'll cherish forever! Every detail was perfectly orchestrated, with each attraction thoughtfully curated: from experiencing Sami culture and reindeer herding to dog sledding, exploring majestic fjords, marveling at the ice hotel, and chasing the ethereal northern lights. Seeing the aurora with my own eyes was a dream come true! The entire experience was magnificent, and we'll definitely choose Thousand Journeys for our future adventures! Yuliana Manova about the trip to Tromso in February 2024
Oh, Pavko, how sweet! I was rewinding the tape and experiencing the trip through your photos, through your eyes…I'm glad we were together! You were so caring and tolerant! Thank you for being who you were! Snezhana Uzunova about the trip through southern Pakistan in November 2023
An exciting, colorful, different, interesting trip to Oman has ended. It will leave me with nice, warm, and lasting memories. Kina Stoimenova about the trip to Oman in November 2023
An exciting journey through a landscape of sand and stones sculpted by nature into bizarre shapes. Oman proved to be a country that has united and sheltered some of the most peaceful and friendly people on our planet. Our tight-knit, calm group (without a single grumbler) harmonized perfectly with the excellent organization and responsiveness of our guides. See you again, Pavka! Greetings from Stanislav Petrov, about the trip to Oman in November 2023
Thank you, Pavel, for the incredible experience, wonderful emotions, touch of adrenaline, and new friendships you made possible through this journey to Oman—an exotic country waiting to be discovered. I'm grateful to have been part of this adventure. See you again! Greetings! Miglena Peneva about the trip to Oman in November 2023
My favorite travel agency! Having taken several trips with you, I wish to experience all the destinations you offer. The Northern Thailand program was simply gorgeous. I spent unforgettable moments there, and Emo and Yoan (our local guides) were amazing. Looking forward to my next adventure with Thousand Journeys. Stoyna Milorieva about the trip through Northern Thailand in November 2023.
I'll share more details about Syria in the group, but I must say once more: Thank you for the wonderful organization and care throughout our journey—it was truly a feast for all the senses! Anna Vdovichina about the trip to Syria in October 2023.
Thank you for the wonderful gifts! Having traveled extensively around the world, I can say this journey to southern Pakistan truly belongs in the golden gallery. It's a place still untouched by the global tourism industry, rich with history, where "authentic" people live and dress by their own traditions rather than conforming to the "uniform" of the "civilized" West. I'm grateful for everything I experienced—both what was visible and what remained behind the scenes (I can only imagine the effort this magnificent journey required). Looking forward to traveling with you again! Ekaterina Lambovska on the trip to southern Pakistan in November 2023
Thank you for sharing the photos and book. The experience you provided was truly exceptional. We found ourselves immersed in a different reality—one that still lingers vividly in my mind. The trip was organized with utmost professionalism, especially considering the challenges of this destination. We experienced the maximum of historical sites, connected deeply with local people and their way of life, and savored authentic cuisine. What more could we ask for? Despite having a police escort, we felt completely free to explore. You've earned a loyal follower in me, and God willing, we'll meet again. Antoaneta Baldzhieva about the trip to southern Pakistan in November 2023
A trip to Pakistan is an adventure that stays in your heart forever! It's pure magic! Thank you, Pavel! Radoslava Tsekova for the trip to Pakistan in November 2023
Hello Pavka, though I'm not much of a writer, I thoroughly enjoyed the trip. The organization was excellent, with a perfect balance between sightseeing and relaxation. Both the group members and guides were wonderful. Your photos captured everything beautifully. Thank you for the experience—I hope to travel with you again. Desislava Ivanova for the trip to Syria in October 2023
A wonderfully organized journey. Thank you, Pavel Gospodinov, for ensuring we had a carefree time and experienced the best of Syria. Kina Stoimenova for the trip around Syria in October 2023
Hello, fellow travelers! I want to thank Emo for his professionalism, superb organization, excellent communication, and attention to every detail! A summer tour of Iceland is truly an incredible experience worth taking. This was my first time traveling with "A Thousand Journeys," drawn by their "slow tourism" concept that allows complete immersion in the atmosphere and sensations. And immerse ourselves we did—experiencing the volcanic fields, otherworldly swamps, countless waterfalls, and breathtaking views. Thank you, travelers, and see you on the dusty roads! Gergana Tomova for the trip to Iceland in August 2023
Our final day in Benin provided a perfect finale. West Africa bid us farewell with its signature blend of markets, colors, heat, music, dance, and festive spirit. I'm grateful we could share the emotions, colors, and aromas of Africa together. Thank you to Emo for the impeccable organization, coordination, stoicism, and patience with our wishes and preferences throughout the entire journey. Anna Vdovichina for the trip to Ghana, Togo, and Benin in West Africa
Thank you for the incredible adventure I experienced in Ladakh. May you continue organizing such interesting and unusual trips for us to share. The journey through Ladakh was truly exciting, with unique views and thrilling road experiences. We covered over 1,000 km and conquered four mountain passes above 5,000 meters. Thanks to Pavel from Thousand Journeys, the organization was perfect and the journey peaceful. Our Ladakhi guide introduced us to Buddhist monasteries and local culture, while the local drivers proved masterful on the challenging roads. I highly recommend this adventure to anyone who loves nature and exploration. Hristiana Leontieva about the trip to Ladakh, India, August 2023
Words can hardly capture the beauty we witnessed and the wonderful experiences we shared over these 10 days. Ladakh was unforgettable—from the magnificent Indian Himalayan views to the beautiful river valleys, pristine mountain lakes, and Buddhist monasteries where we attended prayer ceremonies. This was one of my most exciting journeys to one of the world's most beautiful places. The organization was flawless, and our accommodations were both comfortable and welcoming. Anna Anchova about the trip to Ladakh, India, in August 2023
A trip to Ladakh makes dreams come true—here, you can immerse yourself in Himalayan culture and Buddhist way of life, surrounded by towering mountains, deep valleys, rushing rivers, and crystal-clear lakes. The journey takes you across passes over 5,000 meters to discover Buddhist monasteries, remote villages, and pristine lakes. All this was made possible through Pavel's perfect organization at Thousand Journeys and his deep experience in the region. Philip Stanimirov on the trip to Ladakh, India, in August 2023
The Ladakh journey stands out as extraordinary, even among Thousand Journeys' remarkable adventures! This exceptional place offers breathtaking views that unfold endlessly before you. The roads—exciting, fascinating, and sometimes extreme—climb to heights over 5,000 meters. Buddhist monasteries, monks, local culture, and the wonderful people we met became the heart of our journey. The organization was impeccable, thank you Pavka! I wholeheartedly recommend "Top of the World" Ladakh to anyone passionate about mountains, culture, history, and awe-inspiring landscapes. And naturally, with Thousand Journeys! :-) Desi Anchova on the trip to Ladakh, India, in August 2023
Dear wonderful team, and especially Emo! I'm in awe of your boundless positive energy, flawless organization, and Emo's special ability to make dreams come true. As they say, "Ask and it shall be given to you!"—and Emo delivered everything I asked for, plus delightful surprises I hadn't even imagined. Iceland is pure magic, like witnessing the birth of Earth itself. Around every turn, mythology springs to life! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Keep seeing the world with such open eyes and soul. Galya Petkova for the trip through Iceland, August 2023
A thousand thanks to the Thousand Voyages’s team, especially our guide Emil, for this extraordinary journey through unique Iceland! The organization was impeccable, with perfectly chosen accommodations. We explored nearly all of Iceland, marveling at its spectacular views, volcanoes, glaciers, lakes, waterfalls, and lava fields. Emil proved to be an incredibly warm, calm, and attentive guide. This incredible experience will stay with me, and I look forward to traveling with you again. Irinka Matrozova about the trip through Iceland, August 2023
The mountains, lakes, and pristine nature were absolutely enchanting, made even better by perfect weather. Our Bulgarian guide was exceptionally attentive and professional. The mountain's serenity, star-filled nights, and magnificent sunrises were unforgettable. Four days in the yurts wasn't enough—I could have easily stayed six, especially by the upper and first lakes. Thank you for this adventure, and until next time! Vanya Piskova about the trip to Kyrgyzstan in August 2023
A thousand thanks to "A Thousand Voyages" for the incredible trip to the Faroe Islands! They showed us another land with a different rhythm, pace, and dimensions. The organization was perfect. Emil is the calmest guide I've ever met, and Pavel is a source of great ideas. In just 4 days, we managed to see countless beautiful places, despite the complex logistics—all without stress, without rushing, and with pure enjoyment. I highly recommend it! Iskra Todorova for the trip to the Faroe Islands in June 2023
The trip to Jordan was incredible! Not just a journey to the desert, but a voyage back in time and to Mars itself! And Petra... words fail to describe its majesty! Thank you to Emil and all who accompanied us! Thank you, Thousand Journeys, for this incredible experience! Nina Kirkova for the trip to Wadi Rum, Jordan, March 2023
It was a wonderful experience—superb organization with a unique and original program! The feeling was truly otherworldly; we weren't just in another country but on another planet. Simply put, one of my best excursions! Special appreciation to your Jordanian partners. I highly recommend! Victoria for the trip to the Wadi Rum desert in Jordan, March 2023
Thank you for the outstanding organization! You made my dream come true! Emo and I had great chemistry. Penka Konstantinova for the trip to the Wadi Rum desert in Jordan, March 2023

Oman is a must-see—a genuine Arab country unlike Dubai, Abu Dhabi, or Qatar. The trip left wonderful memories of a magical journey. I'm deeply grateful to Emo and Pavel; their professionalism made this experience extraordinary. Comment by Filipa Filipova on a post about Oman on FB regarding our group's trip to Oman in November 2022
A thousand thanks to the entire "Thousand Journeys" team for my trip to Tromsø. Their professional attitude and excellent organization of excursions were outstanding. Keep up the great work! Valentin Valchev on the trip to Tromsø, December 2022
The trip to Spitsbergen was truly unique. Longyearbyen left an indelible impression with its polar nights, captivating atmosphere, and warm-hearted people. From dog sledding to the northern lights, and the cozy restaurants offering refuge from the Arctic cold—everything was memorable. The organization was flawless, with perfectly chosen accommodations balancing location and value, especially considering Oslo and Longyearbyen's high living costs. I recommend it wholeheartedly! Zheni Vladeva on the trip to Spitsbergen, December 2022
We traveled to Kyrgyzstan with "Thousand Voyages"—an unconventional destination with beautiful nature and kind people. Our guide Emil was a pleasure to travel with :). Alexandra, reflecting on the two-family group trip to Kyrgyzstan in August 2022.
Thanks to “Thousand Voyages” and Emil Doychinov for an incredible Icelandic adventure! From whales and seals to volcanoes, waterfalls, glaciers, and endless lava fields—it was absolutely worth it! Ana Zlateva, Iceland trip, July 2022.
Our Iceland trip was truly unique! I'm deeply grateful to Emil Doychinov for his kind and attentive guidance. The program was brilliantly designed—not only did we explore all of Iceland, but my 15-year-old son came away with memories of an incredible adventure! We'll definitely travel together again soon! Adv. Lina Nikolova, Iceland trip, July 2022.
Thank you for the magnificent trip to the Hunza Valley in northern Pakistan! The organization was wonderful, and Pavel gave it his all. Have a great summer! Ivanka Kaneva, northern Pakistan trip, July 2022.
With Ruslan, we thank you for the wonderful excursion! On the last day, Emo outdid himself with the safari on Madu. It was an incredible and thrilling experience. Emo is a fantastic and caring guide. You're an amazing team! See you again. Radoslava and Ruslan for the trip to Sri Lanka.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the wonderful trip to Sri Lanka. It was an exciting journey through this exotic country, rich in history, traditions, beautiful nature, spices, tea, precious stones, and countless smiling, kind-hearted people. Your organization was magnificent, the hotels were excellent, and our guide Emo was exceptionally professional and attentive. Through his guidance, we were able to deeply explore and truly connect with everything essential about this beautiful country. Yordanka and Damian on the trip to Sri Lanka.
The trip was incredible! I was amazed to discover the abundance of well-preserved Christian monuments in Iraq. Meeting the local people and experiencing their customs—though sometimes quite different from our own—was fascinating. I learned so much throughout the journey, both from direct experience and through reading. The organization was flawless. I'm already looking forward to visiting Southern Iraq and have begun studying Mesopotamian history. Cena Todorova on the trip through Iraqi Kurdistan, autumn 2021.
Thank you for the pleasure of traveling with you! The organization was excellent, and combined with such an interesting destination, it became one of my best trips ever. I'm interested in visiting Iran next and will watch for upcoming trips there. Wishing you good health and continued success. You've gained a devoted fan! Warm regards! Penka Konstantinova for the trip through Iraqi Kurdistan in the fall of 2021.
Unique views and incredible people—an unexpectedly perfect combination! Ivelina Georgieva for the trip through southeastern Turkey in October 2021.
The trip was a truly amazing experience! The places we visited, especially Göbekli Tepe and Nemrut-Dag, had incredible charm. What an adventure! Omurtag Petrov for the trip through southeastern Turkey in October 2021.
Thank you and Ruslan for the wonderful excursion! The program was excellently designed, and the additional sights we saw were perfect complements—everyone loved it!

Dear group, I'm so grateful! Despite what happened before and at the start of the trip, the emotions and smiles we shared during our journey are memories I'll cherish forever with love and laughter.

And as Ivan wisely said today, it's good to change habits 😉. Please include me in future trips too ❤️❤️❤️ Teodora Georgieva for the trip to Morocco in September 2021
Thank you all for the wonderful emotions! 🥰 Stay healthy and keep your positive spirit—I hope we travel together again soon! 🥰❤️🥰 Cheers! Stoyna Milorieva for the trip to Morocco in September 2021
I've used Pavel's services (Thousand Voyages tour company) for three different tours of Bulgaria. Each guide was exemplary: responsive, knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about their work. Pavel's suggestions perfectly matched my interests and needs. He and his colleagues are true gems, and I highly recommend their company to anyone seeking personalized, meaningful travel experiences. Thank you for everything, Pavel. Wishing you all the best. I'll continue recommending you at every opportunity. Jocelyn, Canada
As an experienced traveler, I tend to be quite critical of travel companies' organization and service quality. I recently traveled to Turkey with "Thousand Voyages" during a complete lockdown and the final days of Ramadan—conditions that make organizing any trip extremely challenging. I must commend Pavel Gospodinov, the travel agency's owner, for his outstanding dedication, ability to maintain a positive atmosphere despite obstacles, and genuine care for his clients. Before the trip, Pavel provided such comprehensive written information that I could compile an entire folder from it. This level of detail demonstrates his exceptional professionalism and commitment to ensuring travelers have the best possible experience. I wholeheartedly recommend this agency's services. I'm confident you won't be disappointed and will find my endorsement well-founded! Anna Draganova
Though I'm not the best with words, I want to express how truly pleasant this experience was. Thank you for investing so much skill and effort. Despite the pandemic-related challenges that tested your nerves, you handled everything wonderfully. I met wonderful people, heard fascinating stories, and enjoyed seven incredible days. Thank you again. I wish you health and many successful trips with pleasant travelers. God willing, until we meet again with you and your team. Krasimir Arabov
The trip to southeastern Turkey was meticulously organized. Thousand Journeys surprised us with bonus visits beyond the planned program. Your attentive care for each group member made us feel secure, even in this less-traveled destination. I hope to join your travel groups again. Wishing you good health and many more exciting discoveries ahead. Best wishes! Zoya Ivanova
A huge thank you for this trip to southeastern Turkey, which succeeded despite all obstacles. The organization was wonderful, and you and Emo created an unforgettable journey through these extraordinary places. See you again! Anelia Kirova
I would like to thank you for the wonderful trip to southeastern Turkey with Pavel and Emo. The holy sites we visited, our encounters with locals, and the rich program created an experience I highly recommend. My heartfelt thanks to Thousand Journeys for making me part of this! Thanks again for the unforgettable experience! Stoyna Milorieva
Regarding the trip to Iceland in July 2019: This country seems to have emerged from a talented storyteller's fairy tale world. The ever-changing landscapes excite the imagination and inspire awe at nature's majesty. It's a land of boiling pits, sulfur fumes, and cracked earth—the soil a rich yellow-brown, dotted with bluish pools of bubbling mud. From the pits comes a muffled gurgling, while large mud bubbles burst with strange, unfamiliar cracks. The black beach captivated me with its beautiful basalt formations, resembling a church organ. The thundering waterfalls echo in my memory, and the soft green moss carpeting the black lava creates a surreal broccoli-like landscape. Our voyage into the cold Greenland Sea brought another unforgettable experience—encountering magnificent whales, with playful dolphins and charming puffins adding to our wonder. As for the trip's organization—it was flawless. Though I initially worried about the shared bathrooms, they proved perfectly fine. Pavel chose excellent accommodations—clean, cozy, and well-equipped. Special thanks to our driver Emil, a wonderful person always eager to help. For anyone unsure about their next destination, I wholeheartedly recommend the Almost Complete Tour of Iceland by Thousand Journeys. Penka Zhekova, Veliko Tarnovo
Regarding our Iceland trip in July 2019: What an incredible journey! Pavel Gospodinov organized everything perfectly, selecting the most fascinating sights for us to experience in just 6 days. On behalf of the entire group, we want to thank both him and Emil. We would definitely travel with Pavel's agency again and have already recommended it to our friends—we're truly that satisfied. For anyone still hesitating about visiting Iceland, the Almost Complete Tour is absolutely worth it!" Dimitar Chakarov, Shumen
Thank you for taking us to one of the world's far corners! Everything was fantastic, and this was probably the most harmonious group we've ever traveled with. You're amazing, Pavka—let's plan another adventure together! :)" Desislava Gaydarova
Thank you, Pavka, for those wonderful photos—everything was truly magical! To our amazing group of spicy food enthusiasts—you were all fantastic! For future travelers, just one tip: bring patience for the rough roads. Everything else was absolutely perfect. Congratulations to both the Hunza company and our group! This region deserves more visitors like us. I hope more people will discover this country and experience its peaceful nature. Warm greetings to everyone—and remember to eat well! :)) Teodora Georgieva
While I was debating between Hong Kong and Bali, I found myself having already paid for entry to the North Pole—or rather the Arctic Circle, in a place called Longyearbyen. At 2:30 AM in what seemed like an improvised airport, I looked around and realized I was the only solo traveler among expedition groups. "What the hell," I thought to myself, "I can do this too!". Getting oriented was easy—you simply hop on a bus that takes you to your hotel. After just four hours of rest, I was off on my first adventure: dog sledding with huskies. Despite my intense fear of dogs, and my initial panic at having to harness them myself, within thirty minutes I was racing through the snow. There's no feeling quite like it—just me and the dogs. Even when the sled ahead of me flipped over, we all just laughed it off. After the sledding and a warming glass of cognac with cocoa, I joined a group of strangers to explore the ice caves in Longyearbyen's highest reaches. These weren't ordinary caves but ice crevasses and frozen underground waterfalls. Come summer, everything melts, and guides must find new crevasses for the next winter's underground walks. There's endless entertainment here, though never enough time to do it all. But you must visit the Russian settlement of Barentsburg, whether by boat or snowmobile. Its heart is a red bar called the Red Bear—complete with drinking limits! I sampled whale, walrus, and moose, and being from the hospitality industry, I quickly befriended the chef and waiters. They were delighted to serve off-menu items, and I was happy to speak their native Russian. A win-win situation! Would I go solo again? Absolutely, though I'd stay longer next time. The Arctic defies description... Thank you, Pavka, for this adventure. I'm ready for the next one—on any continent! :)" Emilia Petrova
Thank you for letting us experience the life of the Bedouins in the Wadi Rum desert. We lived for four days as desert dwellers, and these moments will stay forever imprinted in our minds. The "digital detox" had a wonderfully refreshing effect on us. Greetings, Angel about the trekking in Wadi Rum desert, Jordan
Hello, Pavka! My trip to Southeast Turkey exceeded my expectations. I was immersed in an extraordinary atmosphere of kindness and hospitality from the local people. Their friendliness touched me deeply. I felt completely at ease and carefree. The thoughtfully crafted tourist program made perfect use of our time. I discovered places connected to Biblical times, antiquity, faith, history, and nature. Combined with comfortable travel and accommodation, I can confidently say this is a TOP destination. Adriana Pavlevska
Thank you for the well-organized excursion, the pleasant atmosphere, and the unforgettable views of this unexpectedly hospitable and beautiful desert! We look forward to new exciting offers to distant and unknown places!" Greetings, Mariana
Everyone should experience a desert at least once in their life. Our time in Wadi Rum was incredible—the photos tell more than words ever could. Yet the experience wouldn't have been the same without our wonderful companions, our new Bedouin friends, and Pavka's excellent organization. I'm already looking forward to our next adventure in Thailand this January!" Emo
Our trip to Bali and Singapore exceeded all expectations, creating unforgettable moments and wonderful memories. We're grateful to Pavel for his perfect organization, excellent choice of hotels, and thoughtfully prepared excursions in Bali. We returned to Bulgaria inspired and filled with positive energy, already dreaming of our next journey with "Thousand Voyages." Nina
We really loved our trip to Morocco. The accommodations were excellently chosen, which was particularly impressive given the short notice. Pavel took great care of us and helped us connect meaningfully with the local people. The entire trip was thoughtfully planned. We're especially grateful for the excellent driving service. Special thanks!" Krasimir and Boyan Genevi
The trip to Iceland, organized by Pavel, was an incredible experience. The organization was flawless, with the program designed to maximize our experiences during our short stay. Pavel remained constantly available online for logistical support. I would love to return for a second trip to this destination. Thank you, 'Thousand Trips'!" Bozhidar
From Irina about the trip to India: This wasn't just another point A to point B tour—it was a genuine feast for the senses and soul! The trip was thoughtfully crafted to help me fully immerse in this amazing country's atmosphere. Rather than being just another tourist with a camera, I became part of the place itself. During my brief time with 'Thousand Voyages' in India, I discovered that true travel means connecting with locals, sharing their table, and participating in their daily life. This philosophy and Pavel's approach are what set them apart. I wish you continued success! I'll definitely trust your agency again for my next adventure." Irina Vasileva
I traveled to Spitsbergen with Pavel Gospodinov (Pavka) in 2014. What impressed me most? First, the excursion was perfectly organized—we saw all the key sights! But equally impressive was the exceptional care our guide showed toward all participants. He watched over us constantly, anticipating and preventing anything that might affect our comfort, from ensuring no one got lost during flight connections to fulfilling our location-specific wishes. He also created a wonderful group atmosphere through thoughtful surprises. Once, during a long walk along the Arctic Ocean, he produced the perfect wine and desserts for us to enjoy during our rest break. Most importantly, he structured the excursion to reveal fascinating experiences in a place that might seem barren at first glance. Pavka specializes in these unconventional adventures. If you're looking for something interesting and adventurous, yet safe and well-managed, I highly recommend 'Thousand Voyages' and its dedicated organizer Pavel Gospodinov.

Yearning for a faraway adventure, we stumbled upon 'Thousand Voyages' and their captivating slow travel experiences. Thanks to Pavel, our dream vacation became a reality. From our very first interaction, I knew we were in good hands. He proved meticulous and dependable in fulfilling his commitments, showing endless patience with our requests while selecting extraordinary accommodations. I wholeheartedly recommend this service to anyone seeking a distant and unforgettable journey."

In October 2014, I had the wonderful fortune to explore the magic of India with Pavel Gospodinov and an amazing group. Then in summer 2015, we journeyed with him again across the vast Mongolian steppe, from the Gobi Desert all the way to the heights of the Altai Mountains. Both trips were perfectly organized. Pavka is not only an experienced guide but also a calm and cheerful person. If you're looking to see the world from a different perspective, Thousand Voyages is the way to go. This summer we're heading to the Himalayas! :) Tanya Baeva about the trip to Mongolia
Our journey with 'Thousand Voyages' was an absolute pleasure. We were initially drawn in by the agency's engaging website and fascinating travelogues, which led us to contact Pavka. After just a few brief, clear conversations, we met—right on schedule—at Tokyo airport. What followed was a wonderful week of slow, mindful travel through incredible Japan! Thank you for the excellent organization and companionship. We hope to travel together again. Kirilka and the group from Japan, September 2016
From Hristina about the trip to Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan: "I'm delighted to have been part of the wonderful group that visited Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan in May 2016. The organization was excellent—I especially appreciated the advantages of slow travel. Everything was arranged with such precision that we could simply relax and take in our surroundings. The only 'downside' was that it ended too quickly, though Pavka always makes these programs as long as possible! I'm already looking forward to the next trip!" Hristina Hubenova
From Niki about the trip to Mongolia: "I've always been drawn to exotic destinations where modern civilization hasn't yet altered local ways of life. Mongolia had been on my mind for a long time, and finally, the opportunity arose. Our small, friendly group traveled with Pavka, our guide from '1000 travels.' The organization was flawless, and the journey was both emotional and captivating. We experienced the locals' lives firsthand, immersing ourselves in their customs and traditions. We lived and dined with them—such warm and hospitable people. It was a wonderful, unforgettable experience. The country is vast, and I would love to explore more of its regions, customs, and ways of life. With gratitude to Pavka." Niki Voynikov
My experience in both Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan was truly unique. The journey through the Karakum desert to the gas craters and our stay at the guesthouse in the 'Macedonian' village of Nokhur left an indelible impression—that evening at the guesthouse will stay with me forever. The time spent in the pubs of Bukhara and Samarkand was equally memorable, where our drinking sessions were pleasantly interrupted by dancing and taking turns climbing onto Nasreddin Khoja's donkey."

It was late January, and I stood there pondering: China or Japan? I decided May was too far away, and I had always wanted to see the northern lights. After searching through many travel companies that couldn't accommodate my plan for a solo trip in ten days, I stumbled upon 1000 trips. Without hesitation, I called and was greeted by a young man with a bright voice. I explained my wishes, and within hours, my itinerary arrived by email. I was all set to explore Iceland solo (putting my adventurous spirit to the test). Having visited over thirty countries, I can confidently say this spontaneous decision led to my best trip yet. Pavka had arranged everything—flights, hostel, excursions—leaving me free to simply enjoy the experience. Iceland was a revelation: northern lights dancing across the sky, active volcanoes, mighty glaciers, and countless waterfalls. It's truly a country unlike any other. I'm certain I'll return someday. P.S. I lucked out with the weather at +4 degrees (warm enough for Icelandic children to enjoy ice cream) :))))" Emilia Petrova
What has always drawn me to independent travel is the freedom to choose my destinations and pace. This allows me to fully immerse myself in the atmosphere and culture of the places I visit. I had long wanted to explore India more extensively, but finding like-minded companions for such an exotic destination proved challenging. When I discovered Pavel's upcoming trip—just three weeks before departure—something about the program spoke to me. I sensed it would be an exciting adventure filled with genuine experiences and deep cultural immersion. My intuition proved right. If you dream of riding a camel through the Thar Desert, sleeping under the stars amid sand dunes, or sharing home-cooked meals with local families, Pavel is your guide to making it happen. Petar Tomov
Our trip was delightful and went smoothly—everyone was pleased. We could have used more time, particularly in Copenhagen, where our stay felt brief. Stockholm surprised me by becoming my favorite, contrary to my initial expectations. Our Stockholm hotel by Tegnerlunden Park was lovely and perfectly located. In both cities, we discovered wonderful restaurants serving traditional local cuisine. We found some truly special places! We explored museums showcasing Scandinavian design, and naturally, we didn't miss the palaces or the Vasa ship museum :) The younger members of our group insisted on visiting Copenhagen's 'free zone'—the Christiania neighborhood. Next time :) we'll venture beyond the capitals! Vesela Danovska
