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.

Meeting and Pickup

Pickup point
Pickup details

If the self-guided option is booked, there is no pick up as you travel by your type of transport. Border delays could always be expected and we can advise about them but have no control over. Please note that some pick up areas are not available for entry and we pick up from the closest one to your hotel. Also, very often the starting time is earlier because of expected border delays. Please, note that the privately-guided option should return you to Bucharest.
