					  Took the tour to Veliko Tarnovo in mid-December 2019. It's about a 3 hour drive. The city is absolutely beautiful and pictures really do not do it justice. On top... read more of this, the guide was extremely knowledgeable about Bulgaria, especially Veliko Tarnovo and Arbanassi. Thanks to the guide and the beauty of the area, we really enjoyed our day trip.

					  I was so thankful to this company for running the trip despite the fact that I was the only person going. My guide, Michael, was brilliant. He drove incredibly safely... read more despite the difficult driving conditions (lots of snow and windy mountainous roads). He is clearly an experienced driver. 

The views from the road were epic and he stopped frequently to break up the journey at service stations. My guide was very informative and told me lots about Bulgaria and North Macedonia while we travelled. 

He then showed me lots of tourist attractions when we arrived in the city including Mother Theresa’s memorial house, museums, statues and the old town. Michael’s English is superb and he explained everything very clearly. 

The old town has great shopping options- lots of antique shops, a market and authentic places to eat. You can also visit the mosque in the old town. I bought a painting for a euro and some hand-knitted slippers for around the same price. I also bought a hand-woven carpet for a reasonable price so I was very pleased. The souvenirs were better in Macedonia than in Sofia from what I saw. 

The view from the fortress is very picturesque. I took some nice photos of mountains, the mosque and the cross on the hill from here. 

The trip lasted for around 12 hours in total and I would recommend it. Thank you

					  This is a place not to be missed. It has a certain about of charm and the artistry on the wall is immense/ strikingly beautiful. We went to the Rila... read more Monastery and the Boyana trip for as the wine tasting tour is out of season at the moment. Michael the tour guide looked after us and explained the history of the place. We went in February and it even snowed. They also stop for lunch at a quaint restaurant that had a fire. Try the fresh trout if you like fish. 

Definitely a lovely trip to go on.
