Top Sofia Day Trips - page 3

10/10 experience! Tour guide Iva and the Bus Driver were awesome! Iva was amazing and patient when explaining, she always went the extra mile to make sure we understood every aspect of the history of the sites we saw! After the tour ended she even patiently took the time to answer any additional questions we had about Sofia to make sure our experience in Sofia was a great one. Would recommend this tour with Iva to anyone!

This tour is absolute worth every penny, it’s a whole day tour (from 7 am to 8 pm) but it’s gives you the opportunity to enjoy each location at your own pace. I’m glad I joined this tour and visited such beautiful areas! The hike throughout the lakes can be challenging if you are out of shape, but reaching the peak it’s a reward itself with the amazing views!

I visited the monastery and cave. In the tour though, if you didn’t book the church you still have to go and wait for the group, (btw they were charging €6 for 6 minutes to look inside the church)! The Monastery was absolutely beautiful, out of this world. The cave was pretty cool, went inside and climbed through the hole. Overall was a good trip but group was too big and a lot of waiting around. Tour guide Lubo was excellent though, very funny and gave lots of information on each place we went to. For this trip, it only cost me about £17 on Viator. It was so worth £17, bargain tour!

The tour was a lovely way to spend the day in Plovdiv. Sonia was a wonderful tour leader, and very friendly/approachable. She was well versed and knowledgeable in all aspects in the history of Plovdiv and Bulgarian history. Would highly recommend doing this tour if you’re weighing up between traveling to Plovdiv on your own, or taking a tour.

The monastery is beautiful and the setting incredible. You cannot believe the mosaics. The entire sanctuary is covered with beautiful works of art. And amazing gold work. The stairs to the old tower are no joke! Be ready to climb! I was so fortunate to sit in front with Lyubo, who was a font of information about the history of Bulgaria from it's roots. I have never had a tour guide so well read and interested in everything. Thank you!

It is a medium to hard hike depending on your experience. Just take your time and go with a guide. They will choose the best trails and know when to turn back to make the bus schedule on time. Plus they are knowledgeable about any questions you may have.

It is well worth it at a great price with a very knowledgeable guide who maintained safety at all times and spoke great English. Our guide was Megi Angelova and cannot rate her enough! I would do this tour again in a heartbeat and will be surely recommending to other likeminded travelers I meet! Thank you Megi!

This was a great day trip and definitely worth doing if you want to get out of Sofia and see something completely different. Our day started with a bit of unexpected circumstances when our driver had a medical emergency. Thankfully, the company handled the situation incredibly well. They made sure their driver received the help he needed and quickly arranged another driver so our trip could continue with very little delay. We really appreciated how professional and caring they were. Once we arrived, everything was exactly as described. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and did a great job explaining the history and interesting facts along the way. He even gave us recommendations for places to eat, which was a nice bonus. It's a long day, but the scenery and experience make it absolutely worth it. We'd definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to get a taste of Serbia while in Sofia!
