This is a fantastic private day trip from Bucharest. Victor was my guide. He's a once in a lifetime, rare special person you will have the pleasure to meet! He is extremely knowledgeable and will explain Romanian and Bulgarian history throughout the day. You experience crossing the border from Romania to Bulgaria. Remember to bring your passport (it will get a stamp ????). The cliff monasteries are exceptionally beautiful and old. The city of Veliko Tarnovo and Tsarevets Fortress is beyond stunning! The fortress is massive! There is a lot to explore here and your guide will explain everything as you move around the fortress. If you enjoy shopping, the old town section will not disappoint. You are guaranteed to enjoy this fabulous, private day trip. I highly recommend this day trip, and if you are lucky, your guide will be Victor!!

What a cool tour. Never thought I'd be in Bulgaria, but this is a very interesting and beautiful tour. The city is wonderful and our guide, Mihau was wonderful. A very nice man who took us to the best places and never made us feel rushed. He made us feel welcome and was like one of our group! Great day and great guide. Thank you Mihau!

Okay, so you have arrived in Bucharest, you have walked around a bit and hit old town, a museum or two and gotten the vibe of the area. Maybe even headed to Brasov, and Transylvania. Now what? You need this tour! Want to go off the beaten path? Want some sick photos? Mihai is great, him and his Peugeot will ensure an awesome day ripping up southern Romania into Bulgaria. Hes nice, flexible, and incredibly accommodating. Stop being boring. Take the plunge.
