Dispiaciuta per aver pagato l’ingresso per una chiesa ad ingresso gratuito (perché appunto aperta per i fedeli e per chiunque volesse entrare). La guida consisteva in un pdf di 2 pagine scritto in inglese.

Pas bonne du tout. Je suis arrivée à 10.50. Il fallait arriver 10 minutes avt l’heure prévue qui pour moi était 11h et je n’ai trouvé personne. Je suis donc entrée dans la cathédrale et là la personne qui vendait les tickets d’entrée ne reconnaissait pas ce que j’avais payé et ne connaissait pas votre agence.
J’ai réservé chez vous en août. J’ai réservé par votre intermédiaire une visite au monastère de Rila pour le 12 août. Tout d’abord j’espère que vous ne ferez pas le même coup et ensuite une compensation au désagrément subi hier serait appréciée, comme par exemple nous ajouter une visite guidée gratuite. J’ai horreur de faire de la mauvaise publicité autour de moi mais si on ne me laisse pas le choix, alors je la fais. Bien à vous.

National Palace of Culture
The National Palace of Culture (NDK) is the largest multi-functional conference and exhibition center in south-eastern Europe. It opened back in 1981 to celebrate Bulgaria's 1300th anniversary.
The palace was the suggestion of Lyudmila Zhivkova (daughter of former Bulgarian communist leader Todor Zhivkov) and was completed by a team of Bulgarian and international architects. The landscaping of Bulgaria Square in front of the NDK has been subject to a modern redesign and is a hub of activity every day.
Inside the building, which has hosted concerts by the likes of Sting, Anastacia, and Mark Knopfler, there are 80 monumental artworks in the halls and foyers, which you can see by joining a National Palace of Culture guided tour.
