The tour was perfectly organized. The bus was comfortable and all the trip was very smooth. The visited places were really amazing and we could also add a short hike to the cave in Rila. The italian guide (Francesca) was very kind and prepared, everything was ok.

Reviews: Rila Monastery and Boyana Cathedral one-day tour in Bulgaria

Very good experience, 2 attractions are worth a visit, like human history must not miss the Bojana Cathedral, very small, but the mural inside is very interesting (there is a last dinner, earlier than the Leonardo version, the picture layout is completely different) The tour guide we met was Martin, The people are very good and the explanation is very interesting. Like listening to a talk show, it will attract everyone's attention. In addition, if you buy bread outside the monastery of Lira, there are 3 kinds of bread, the best is Traditional (middle, 1 yuan local currency), the other two super invincible, 1 catty! (750 grams). The day before the trip, there will be an email notification of the collection time and the name of the tour guide, etc., generally 10 minutes in advance.

The entire trip was fabulous. Everything was on time, well organized and very easy. I am from Colorado USA, so I'm no stranger to high elevations and beautiful mountain scenery and this was breathtaking. The hike wasn't easy, so be prepared with proper shoes and rations. The panoramic views, waterfalls, wild horses, all of it was amazing. The Monastery was also really neat. The architecture and art work are incredible. It's a long day, but worth it in my opinion. Make sure you bring enough BGN. Chair lift was 30 lev per adult and museum at Monastery was 8.
