The tour will start with a visit to the remarkable medieval capital of Veliko Tarnovo, built high on the surrounding hilltops, full of medieval charm.

Our tour guide was Cristi and he was excellent! He was knowledgeable about Romania and Bulgaria and kept the day moving along smoothly. Highlights were the fortress and the delicious lunch with an amazing view.

This tour is a must when staying in Bucharest as it gives you the opportunity to explore part of Bulgaria and sample some of its history and culture. Cristian was our guide and I couldn't praise him more for his friendliness, passion and knowledge. He made sure that we had a memorable trip and his recommendation of the restaurant Shtastliveca ("The Lucky One") is a must for stunning views and a delicious variety of food on offer. As to be expected, there's a lot of walking and steps, sometimes on uneven terrain, but it's worth it for the beautiful views, sense of history, and culture. Thanks, once again, Cristian ☺️.
