Four girlfriends decided to spend a great weekend in the capital of Bulgaria, Sofia.
The call
We had chosen a convenient time slot on the website, and Anastasia called us on time. The WhatsApp video call lasted approximately half an hour, and the four of us could participate simultaneously. She asked us several relevant questions about our needs and interests.
Concerning accommodation, we asked to stay in a comfortable 3-star hotel somewhere in the city centre.
Anastasia suggested some exciting activities such as Bulgarian wine tasting and a workshop to create our own cosmetics made from world-famous Bulgarian roses, and a private guided communist tour. We loved all these ideas!
The reservation
Anastasia emailed us a detailed description of our tailor-made holidays and a quotation the following week. It included all the elements we discussed and agreed upon during our call. She also sent us helpful advice for purchasing our flight tickets.
As a result, we approved and signed the quotation electronically and paid a deposit. As soon as we booked our air tickets, we forwarded the details to Anastasia so that she could arrange a smooth transfer from the airport. We were looking forward to our long weekend in Bulgaria!
The preparations
Two weeks before departure, we received a comprehensive travel book setting out the complete itinerary by email. It also included many other things, such as travel advice and recommendations for restaurants and Bulgarian cuisine.
Thanks to a specific reference number sent by Velstana, it was also available online via a link and on a handy free app – that can even be used in offline mode – available for iOS and Android devices.
