This was such an impressive and meaningful experience.
This was such an impressive and meaningful experience. Visiting the cave and monastery connected us directly with an important chapter of Bulgarian history, and it was especially valuable for my son to learn about it through a real-life experience rather than just from books. We also enjoyed a lovely meal at the monastery. Our guide was fantastic and made the entire visit engaging and memorable.

Brilliant Experience
We had the most amazing time with Mikto, our tour guide. He was well informed of the history of Bulgaria and was knowledgeable on each of the stops along the way. We felt very relaxed in his company and would definitely reach out again if we return to Sofia. He also made sure to take photos of us at every stop which we will treasure, and recommended places for us to visit in the evening. The tour itself was beautiful and as we were only in Sofia for 24hrs it felt as though we were able to learn & see as much as possible.

Great experience
Great experience and would use again! We had two children under 3yo with us and they were able to modify the Vitosha hike trip to be fun and manageable with our little ones. Our guide was great and spoke excellent English. He really ensured we enjoyed our time and was very knowledgeable about the mountain. Pick up and drop off were on time and the car was great. They were very responsive to our inquiries and questions. Really a great experience end to end.

Escape Sofia: horse ride through Bulgaria’s beauty
alexandrasO4391OQ, Apr 2026
Most beautiful experience of our trip in Sofia
The horse trip was definitely one of the absolute highlights of our Sofia trip and is 100% recommended! Elisabeth, the manager, was incredibly polite, attentive and accommodating. Already in advance she contacted us via WhatsApp and gave us all important information, e.g. on the appropriate clothing. She even had extra change shoes or things for us that can get dirty without us asking for them. She also offered us helmets, brought water and even cloths so we could clean our hands and shoes – really exceptionally attentive.We were picked up directly at our apartment and brought back again, which made everything very relaxed. Photos of us were also taken on request. We especially loved how well the horses were selected to match the riding experience. Less experienced riders got quieter horses, and those who wanted to or had no experience could even be guided. As a result, everything was very individually adapted to us and accordingly so fun. The route was also beautiful – perfect nature for horseback riding and just an unforgettable experience. Since we were only a small group of five people, the atmosphere was also very pleasant. All in all, the trip was worth every penny, fairly designed and above all something very special due to Elisabeth's special and warm service.
