About this experience
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.
