This is quite an efficient and economical way to travel to Rila monastery. We had a big full bus. The group was a combination of English, Spanish and Italian. Our guide Alexander had to ensure everyone gets the proper schedule. He is a knowledgeable teacher unfortunately the time was limited and Alex had to reduce to the very minimum to accommodate all the listeners. Nevertheless I still had gained a few additional cultural background during the visit. The coordination of the schedule was all well done.

Plovdiv Small Group Full Day Guided Tour from Sofia

A Must-do Trip in Bulgaria
I can only recommend this tour. Plovdiv was a very charming city with many beautiful historic buildings. The K-place as it was called because of its harder pronounciation was also lovely. We were able to visit a merchants house whoch was both beautiful and interesting. The was a small entrance fee of 2,5 Euro per Person, but it was not mandatory to visit the house. There were also many interesting anecdotes by our guide Martin. I would recommend booking a guided tour, since you just get to know the places in a different way. I would have like a bit more time in Plovdiv, but I also loved the K-place, so I think this tour was the best compromis. The bus arrived in Sofia on time, as well. And pick up was on time. So all in all a great trip.

TERRIFIC day trip to Skopje with BulTrips!
We had a terrific experience with BulTrips! We did a private long day (12 hours) tour to Skopje from Sofia. The communication to set it up via email was easy. The price was fair and the whole process very smooth. Our driver, Daniel, was informative, friendly and made us feel safe the whole time. Our guide in Skopje, Niki (spelling?), was great - she was informative without smothering - letting us take our time in places as we wished - I like a guide that sometimes just leaves you alone to explore something. It was absolutely worth the long day to see Skopje - we loved the bazaar! We loved our whole day with this company and would not hesitate to use them again!

Comfortable day out
Great day out, value for money, beautiful city. Well organised, coach guides Pablo and Nico excellent and city guide Ilea also. (Not sure of name spellings). We thought Plovdiv much nicer than Sofia. Maybe over next few years Sofia will benefit from a little TLC. 😀

Magnificent excursion.
It was a superb day, really a must-do if you are in Sofia! The shuttle is very convenient and the staff is great, very friendly, helpful, very good communication with clear instructions. (special mention to Philip). The trail is great, several possible paths so it is suitable for all skill levels. And the monastery is truly wonderful. A day not to be missed, go for it!
