I did the guided tour with guide Teto. The natural beauty of the Seven Lakes speaks for itself, and is well worth the trip! The cable car ride up and back is an added bonus. Teto managed our time well, so we did the full route without rushing, and had time for lunch break at the top, and time for photos along the route. Teto knew the best spots for the photos as well, that were away from the crowded areas. The van we rode in from and back to Sofia was comfortable and airconditioned, with USB power outlets.
Take cash for the cable car ride (25 BGN round trip), and pack lunch. However, we did stop at a gas station/convenience store on the way to 7 Lakes, so you can purchase water/drinks and food there if you wish. You can also rent hiking poles at the cable car base (5 BGN per pole); these poles can be helpful on the steep portions of the trail. Hiking boots are preferred, but the route is doable in sneakers.

That's a great place to visit. The hike itself is doable if you are almost fit. The shuttle is a good choice if you don't have a car and even so it is a mountainous local road. The guide was nice but is not really necessary if your concern is to find the way as it is almost impossible to get lost. So choose without tour if you want to set your own pace, and/or how far you wanna go.
And lastly don't forget to bring cash (25 BGN at the time of writing) for a return ticket of the cable car.
