A family with 2 children − aged 8 and 11, respectively − decided to spend one week and a half on the Black Sea coast.
The call
Stanislas contacted us at the agreed time − we had reserved a time slot on the website − and asked us several relevant questions about our specific needs and interests. In about 30 minutes, we created together our bespoke trip to Bulgaria.
We explained that we wanted to spend about 10 days on the Black Sea coast, mainly to relax and sunbathe on the beach. Still, we would be interested in visiting famous landmarks in the region. We would also be keen on doing outdoor activities such as boating and hiking with the kids as well as golfing. Crucially, we would need to rent a car to get around.
Concerning accommodation, we wanted to stay at upmarket hotels in one big, comfortable family room or apartment with a swimming pool and near the beach.
Stanislas took note of all our preferences. He suggested that we stay half of our journey in the southern part of the coast. We would go north for the second half of the journey and stay at a golf resort.
The reservation
Stanislas 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. He also sent to us useful advice to purchase 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 our flight details to Stanislas so that he could arrange a smooth transfer from the airport. We were looking forward to our beach holidays!
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 of 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.
