“Please accept my belated thanks for your excellent work in assisting the U.S. Embassy during President Clinton’s visit to Bulgaria in November 1999. In all respects, the visit was an overwhelming success, due in part to your role in arranging special sightseeing and shopping tours for the White House staff and press corps. I also appreciate your part in identifying one of the tour guides who personally escorted President Clinton during his tour of Sofia’s historical and cultural monuments.”  James Hutcheson, Public Affairs Officer, Embassy of the United States of America (Jan. 2000)

" In the economic upheavel following her country's latest release from vassalage, Lyuba landed on her feet as a guide and interpreter. As far as I'm concerned, stout, steadfast, and erudite Lyuba is a guide and interpreter from heaven." G. Y. Dryansky, Curtain Up On a Land of Treasures, Condé Nast Traveler (August 2002)

" The cultural treasures of Bulgaria were far more numerous and more interesting than I expected. The wealth of Eastern Orthodox buildings and artefacts sit strangely amidst the abandoned collective farms and derelict factories. Roads are quite poor to quite good. Scenery varies from interesing to impressive. ...There was nowhere on the tour I would delete." John Chawner, Bales Tour (May 2005)

“I am SOOOOO impressed by all your suggestions! You are a minefield of information!”  Carla Martindale, Abercrombie and Kent Europe (2005)


“I must write to send a big THANK YOU for all your care and attention to detail in making my trip such a pleasure as well as really valuable in terms of work. My six days were far too short but fascinating and full of surprises - too many high spots to list them.” Anne Boston, The British Library (2005)

“Thank you so so much for organizing such an interesting and successful week for Europa Nostra. Your choice of hotels and restaurants were first class, ...but most importantly your depth of knowledge in the history and culture of Bulgaria and expertise in organization imbued the group with a sense of confidence in the management of the tour.”   Antonia Lloyd Owen, Special Tours (2005)

“This little message is only to tell you that our last trip in Bulgaria was very exciting and always delightful. The intelligence and the perfection of the program confirm the high reputation of Lyuba Tours !”  Henri Pigeat, Former President, Agence-France Presse (2007)

“I write to thank you for having organized such a wonderful trip--it could not have been better. ...you have such a special way of providing information, of telling stories from your own experience that they all felt they were learning so much without being lectured to...I knew with you organizing the trip it would be exceptional but it surpassed my wildest expectations. I am already homesick for Bulgaria.”   Avis Bohlen, Former US Ambassador to Bulgaria (2007)
