A tough-to-reach village in the mountains of central Bulgaria, Bata's remoteness has helped keep traditions alive – so it's ideal for an evening of Bulgarian entertainment. In a rural restaurant, you'll feast on traditional dishes with unlimited wine, watch fascinating folkloric rituals and see the spectacular fire dance – one of the country's oldest customs.

The guide was nice, good information. The experience is more for adults than kids, even though it had some light entertainment for kids. The food is awful! Not enough water either! Wine rubbish with no option for beer. Very poor food quality & there was no option for child friendly food until we saw by chance another table had scampi & chips. Once we argued for it, our child was given chips. A very late night do be prepared! July 29th was a very warm evening so was a good time to go.

Great night out, from the kids entertainment, to the band, the food and drinks, the fire walker and the dancers. All were brilliant. Perhaps the best was the guy leading the dancers, he'd obviously done it loads of times but you could see how proud he was and how much he enjoyed it, and that shone through the whole night. Special mention to tui rep as well, very dry humour and brilliant guide through the nights entertainment of which he was very much part of. He set the stage for a great night.

The food typical Bulgarian. If you’re a westernernized eater this is not for you. For teetotallers there’s water and “lemonade” The entertainment was great, comedy and classic rock mixed with local classics. The Bulgarian dancers were FANTASTIC, the clothing is so authentic. So awesome to see the young still embracing their heritage. Very talented and engaging, you will be encouraged to participate. Sadly no first aid equipment or first aider, someone collapsed and died. Being so remote it took
