Eduard has been in love with nature ever since he was a child. He explores and discovers tracks and paths walking, skiing or cycling. Mountains are his passion. He loves being in the wild. His meetings with people in villages, their stories, the knowledge, and the experience accumulated over time is gladly shared by him with everyone who has an impulse to travel.
Eduard invites you too on a journey through breathtaking mountains, villages and towns. A journey with emotions and experiences within the endlessly beautiful spots of his native Bulgaria. He is an aeronautical engineer with a long experience in aviation. Decided to make his hobby a second profession in 2013 when he enrolled in a course in mountain guiding.
Leading travellers in Bulgarian mountains, taking part in annual mountain cleaning actions, helping hut keepers for long periods, working on shifts as a hut keeper at Kikish Shelter in Vitosha Mountain, founding forgotten trails in Osogovo Mountain as part of an NGO project.
Travelling with a bike to far destinations, practicing Aikido in Japan, been to South Africa and France to ski.
Alicia Yao, September 2025, Balkan Mountains trek
Our 5-day trek in the Balkan Mountains was unforgettable, thanks to Eduard. From the very start, his planning and organization made everything feel smooth and safe. On the trail, he balanced just the right pace with encouragement, and his deep knowledge of the mountains brought the landscape and history alive.
What stood out most was the care he showed, always checking how we felt, making adjustments when needed, and ensuring everyone was comfortable. We felt in great hands the entire time. This wasn’t just a hike, it was a journey filled with stories, laughter, and memories we’ll carry forever. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to discover Bulgaria’s mountains with both adventure and heart.

I hike to Musala with Eddy a week ago and I had a wonderful time. He is smart and very knowledgeable in all topics related to hiking in the mountains, which added much value to the journey.
He is safety minded and I felt very good following his instructions going over wet snow or more exposed sections of the trail.
He adapted the pace to my level of fitness and took break as needed.
The Rila mountains are very beautiful! They are worth seeing from up close!
I enthusiastically recommend Eddy as a mountain guide!

My boyfriend and I had a fabulous day snowshoeing in the sunshine with Edi on Vitosha! Edi was very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. It was a new experience for us both and highly recommended for anyone that loves getting away from the busy city life (we live in London!)

With quite a big group of 14 people, we had a perfect time up there in the Rilla mountains. Thanks to Eduard everything was great, the trip was smooth and fun. With a patience and sense for people, he managed the rhythm to various needs and characters :). It was as we know each other for a long time. Nature there is really beautiful. Worth to feel it.

We had 5 great days in the montains thanks to the guides who always kept their smile even if we didn’t because of the hard climbing, they nicely looked after us and were pleased to answer our questions. We couldn’t have made it without them, they were the key of our journey because after a sportive day, while we were having a rest, they were dealing with the showers, the food, etc. They successfully accomplished their job. Thank you.
