Perfect weather and nice people

Rebecca_N, Oct 2023

The hike was perfect. We had perfect weather for the end of October. Also the Monastery is worth to see. So much history and great nature.

I can not recommend this tour...

Sd P, May 2017

I can not recommend this tour enough. Our group was fortunate enough to have an incredibly knowledgeable tour guide, Nikola, who made the tour even greater then our expectations. We hiked up to St Ivans Cave instead of the Stob Pyramids however this was a very good experience. It is worth taking comfortable footwear with a bit of grip to make the hike easier. The Monastery itself is breath taking, hidden away in the mountains of Bulgaria. The local food tasting was delicious and a perfect end to our trip. This tour is definitely worth taking a day out of your trip for.
