Enjoyed five interesting wines from five different geographic regions of Bulgaria. We tasted Two white, one “orange”, and 2 two red wines, all with unique flavor profiles, along with a nice selection of local meats, cheese and bread for pairing. Lyubomir, our host, was very knowledgeable about the history of wine in Bulgaria from early times leading up the present day. The shop has a nice, comfortable room for small group tastings. The experience is at a comfortable pace as well, with plenty of time to ask questions and enjoy each glass of wine. Overall, this was a very enjoyable experience that we are happy to recommend.

Ina is an amazing tour guide. She linked the history of the monument where we met to Bulgarian history back through the ages to the two stops on the tour and to current times. She guided us around the outside and inside of the Monastery making sense of all the art, and flagging what to look for in the Monastery. She also came equipped with art graphics so we were prepared to make the most of our time inside the Boyana Church. The trip ran like clock work, and their ability to get us reserved time in the Church and to get us there at our appointed time is commendable. All the participants, broken into two language groups, were respectful of each other under the artful direction of the two guides on the bus, which was much appreciated. The guides were mindful of the need for rest stops and coordinated bathroom lineups to minimize wait times, particularly at Boyana Church.

A Great way to sample North Macedonia in few hours . Katarina was an excellent guide as well as driver taking us to Skjope. She handled the whole border crossing with ease, gave us lots of information about Bulgaria and its history with Macedonia in a fun light hearted way. Lina the tour guide in Skjope was also excellent and talked with passion about her home city, really would recommend the day out
