While in Bucharest we saw this tour and thought that it would be a chance to visit Bulgaria for the first time. This tour exceeded all expectations! Sebastian was an amazing guide, both knowledgeable and thoughtful. He created an itinerary that combined a Christian Orthodox cave monastery, a castle that was the former capital of Bulgaria, a delicious Bulgarian restaurant, and some interesting towns around Veliko Tarnovo. Highly recommended!

Great trip to beautiful Bulgaria, visiting the lovely Veliko Tarnovo, Arbanasi, Basarbovo, visiting an extraordinary Orthodox monastery carved into the mountain, the beautiful fortress and the city that was once the capital of Bulgaria and the "Albanian" village. Sebastian, very friendly and extremely competent guide, knowledgeable of the history and geography of Romania and Bulgaria. New vehicle, very comfortable and with the advantage of being only 4 passengers (my family) which allowed to ask questions and talk widely about the past, present and future of Romania and Bulgaria. We could make stops when needed, the price includes the tickets to the places. Best value for money, I highly recommend it.
