Set off on a journey through the heart of the Balkan Mountains, where hidden paths, timeless villages, and sweeping views reveal the quiet beauty and deep character of Bulgaria’s interior. This tour is designed to uncover the "little secrets" of the region—those unspoiled corners that capture the soul of the mountains. With each turn, you'll discover authentic rural life, thick forests whispering with history, and stories passed down for generations.
One of the most memorable highlights is the visit to Bozhentsi, often called the most romantic village in Bulgaria. Declared an architectural and historical reserve over fifty years ago, Bozhentsi feels like stepping into a painting. But we won’t follow the typical route—instead, we’ll enter the village through the "back entrance" and leave it through the "window," giving you a fresh and intimate perspective. Along the way, we’ll travel an ancient Roman road, with panoramic views of Balkan giants like Mount Botev, Golyam Kademlia, Shipka, and Buzludzha creating a truly unforgettable backdrop.
Another gem on the route is the tiny village of Torballagi—a place few know but none forget. With its own charm and legends, this quiet spot offers a unique atmosphere that’s both mysterious and heartwarming. And just when you think the tour has shown all its cards, a surprise awaits you here—something we won’t spoil ahead of time, but we promise it will make your visit even more special.

Little Sport is the ultimate bike shop. They sourced original handlebars for my vintage Raleigh racer in 12 hours and serviced my bike for another year of commuting. They are knowledgeable, trustworthy and dependable. Special shout out to Ken and the guys who are always so great to deal with too. We are so lucky to have Little Sport in Fairview!

I had an excellent experience with Little Sport Bikes. I don’t understand much about bikes, but the team was always patient, kind, and professional with me. They explained everything clearly and took care of my bike with real integrity and attention to detail. Their service was on time, and I always felt respected and supported — which made a huge difference in my day. Thank you for the professionalism and kindness, it really stands out. Highly recommended!

I bought my Fido D21 there in April 2024 (I have the messages). Last week I brought my bike to the shop to get the seat clamp fixed as it had totally snapped. When I arrived, I was first questioned if I actually got the bike there and was told it wasn't possible as they don't have Fido bikes anymore (the guy who sold me the bike seems to not be working there anymore). Anyways, I explained that besides the seat clamp, I wanted my breaks, tyres and chain to get checked. The man mentioned that another shop could have the original parts for Fido, but then he said he could have it checked and it would be a full service, so I agreed. Today, I went to pick up my bike and it looked okay (my bad to not have completely checked it) but then I realised that the tyres were not pumped, the seat clamp was replaced but not with a quick-release one as it was originally so I need an allen key to remove the seat now. I also asked about the chain as it didn't look right and I was told that it was okay. The brakes were perfect but at the end I paid 98 euro (60 for full service level 1) but not even the tyres were pumped. I decided to take my bike to another shop where the mechanic agreed with me about the lack of service and confirmed he could fix it, adding a quick-release seat clamp, fixing the chain (that by the way was not properly aligned) and pumping the tyres. That was my experience so far.

Wild Atlantic Way: great help to prepare my bike for this fabulous challenge - Ken, Kasper and Junior were so helpful and my bike cruised round over 1200km, just my body that had to put in the effort of pedalling!

Your quintessential neighbourhood bike store. Had a problem on my bike I couldn't fix, took it to them on a late Saturday afternoon, it was a quick fix done on the spot. Very generous team and highly recommended if you want a dependable store after you purchase your bike.
