Top Sofia Day Trips - page 3

Great day out to Plovdiv. The bus pick-up was easy to find and the bus was there waiting on time. The bus was clean and with aircon (needed on a very hot day!) and the guide and driver were professional and welcoming. The guide onboard the bus gave lots of information during the drive. The guided tour in Plovdiv led by Marti gave a great introduction to Plovdiv old town with lots of information and photo opps and then a couple of hours free time in Plovdiv. On the drive back the onboard guide again giving information, restaurant recommendations etc. All-in-all a very good value and a great day tour.

We joined the Rila Monastery and Boyana Church Full-Day Tour on May 27, 2025, and it was one of the highlights of our visit to Bulgaria. A special thank you to our tour guide, Ms. Ornella, who made the experience truly memorable. She is warm, energetic, and humorous, with a genuine passion for sharing Bulgaria's rich history and culture. Throughout the tour, she provided detailed information and clear explanations about the sites we visited, bringing the history to life in an engaging and easy-to-understand way. Ms. Ornella was also attentive to her guests, ensuring everyone felt comfortable and included. Her enthusiasm, professionalism, and friendly personality created a wonderful atmosphere for the entire group. The stunning beauty of Rila Monastery and the historical significance of Boyana Church were greatly enhanced by her insightful commentary. We highly recommend this tour, especially if you have the opportunity to explore these remarkable UNESCO World Heritage Sites with Ms. Ornella as your guide.

This was such an entertain and informative tour with engaging and knowledgeable John. It brought to life aspects on the communist era in a non confrontational intelligent factual way. Alongside this we were able to admire many of Sofia’s heritage buildings and enjoy this remarkable city. Highly recommended. A must if visiting Sofia.
