We had a fabulous trip with Dan, stopping at the Monastery of the rocks in Basarbovo, the town of Arbanasi and the beautiful Mecieval town Veliko Tărnovo - where he recommended a superb restaurant for lunch.

Our private day tour to the beautiful Bulgarian Basarbovo Monastery, the very old village Arbanasi and the incredible Veliko Tarnovo was a highlight of our time in Romania. We were picked up in a private, luxury car by Dan, who is a fluent English speaker. Dan provided great conversation and was a really wonderful guide. He has a tertiary background in History, so he is really knowledgeable. Dan was fantastic at answering the many questions I had throughout the day, and gave us really interesting stories and history about the sites we visited. He gave excellent advice about where to eat, what local dishes to try, and some unbeatable secret photo spots. The day overall was fantastic value for money. I look forward to getting in touch with Dan for another tour next time I am in Romania.

I really had no idea what to expect for the day, and it was truly wonderful. The drive was easy and very little time was spent at the border. The rolling countryside was amazing as we headed to Veliko Tarnovo. The first stop was at the Rock Monastery and you have to impressed at how it was hewn out of rock cliff. This is a UNESCO World Heritage site worth visiting. Next we were off to Veliko Tarnovo which is equally impressive in a different way. Seeing the Fortress perched atop the hill, you can understand the strategic importance of the location. Close your eyes and imagine the battles that must have taken place here. A nice old town village to walk, eat and shop in, this is a worthwhile day trip from Bucharest
