UNESCO National Treasures Rila monastery & Boyana church + free pick up

I had a fantastic experience! Was only on sofia for a few days so my guide agreed to take me and it was just us. I had Lachezar who was a wonderful guide and a great person! If you can go with him I highly recommend as he is extremely patient and knowledgeable not to mention fluent in English!

I waited outside The address given for 30 minutes and nobody showed up. I’m sure the monastery is nice, but I wouldn’t know because I'm still in Sofia

I heard from colleagues in Sofia, that the Rila-monastery and the Boyana-church are must-sees in Bulgaria. It is super difficult to come there by a local bus, but I definitely wanted to go there. That‘s why I booked this tour and it was simply amazing! The hotel pickup worked perfectly and was on time. After picking up the other guests we started driving to the monastery for approximately two hours. When we came there our guide explained lots of interesting things to us and after that we had some free time for exploring the stunning architecture, frescoes and atmosphere. We had lunch at a restaurant nearby, which offers trout, the local fish of the river, that was tasty! The next stop was the Boyana-church. It is a pity that you can only stay inside there for 10 minutes, but that was gorgeous! After that the - really good! - guide asked us where we want to be dropped off and that was a really nice service. Summing up it was a really interesting day with lots of new experiences and I can recommend the tour to everyone!

Since it was low-season, I ended up being the only one on the tour, so instead of the bus, the guide came with her car and drove me everywhere, always cheerful and knowledgeable about Bulgarian and European History. I couldn't have asked for a better experience visiting such a beautiful place and learning so much about this unique country and its history. Totally worth your time.

A wonderful day with a wonderful guide. Thank you for a great day of history, culture, good food and grand tour.

Ángel nuestro guía fue la compañía perfecta nos explicó todo sobre los lugares a visitar muy recomendable

Il tour è organizzato perfettamente, con la comodità che passano a prenderti presso l'indirizzo desiderato. Gli organizzatori sono puntualissimi, la guida Alexandra molto preparata. Il tour era in inglese e molto comprensibile, nel nostro caso la guida parlava anche molto bene l'italiano. Per la pausa pranzo ci hanno portati in un posto vicino al monastero davvero delizioso. I luoghi da visitare sono davvero incantevoli, ne vale la pena e consiglio molto questo pacchetto.

Excellenter Reiseleiter. Hervorragende Organisation. Sehr angenehme Fahrt, klare Erläuterungen. Das Rila Kloster ist ein Highlight jeder Bulgarienreise. Die Boyana Kirche ein Juwel unter den Kulturschätzen des antiken Christentums. Wunderbar erhaltene Fresken.
