Overview

Journey through time on a captivating day trip to Bulgaria!

Our first stop is unique – the St. Dimitrie Basarbovo Monastery. Carved directly into a towering cliff, this active monastery offers a glimpse into Bulgaria's unique religious heritage.

Veliko Tarnovo, the crown jewel of Bulgaria's past. Ascend the mighty Tsarevets Fortress, once a royal palace, and marvel at the breathtaking views that unfold before you. Explore the city's charming streets and lose yourself in its impressive architecture.

After a delicious lunch, we'll venture to Arbanasi Village, a hidden gem nestled amidst rolling hills. Admire the village's centuries-old architecture and capture stunning panoramas of the surrounding mountains.

Throughout your adventure, a knowledgeable English-speaking guide will unveil the fascinating stories and historical significance of each location.

Choose between privately or self-guided option. The latter covers also Ruse as a destination.
