Small group bigger experience! Immerse your self in to the Rila National park, where we will show you the hidden treaser of the early Christianity. Deep in the Rila Mountain, in the southwestern part of Bulgaria is situated the biggest symbol of Christianity in Bulgaria- Rila Monastery. The Monastery was founded by the hermit St. Ivan Rilski in the beginning of X century. The monastery is the most visited cultural site in Bulgaria. Part of UNESCO World Heritage Site. After our immersion in ancient times, we will go to a winery named "Medy valley" to taste the fruits of this holy mountain. There we can find some lokal grape variety like "Rubin" and "Shiroka Melnishka". Тhe winery has spectacular mountain views Last but not least, we will visit the very special Boyana church- аnоtther UNESCO World Heritage Site. Boyana Church for short, is famous for its remarkable medieval frescoes, among which the remarkable images from 1259. That means 50years before Giotto

Tour itself was good. We liked the Rila, wine tasting, and Boyana church. But the guide was not feeling well. The car arrived in a condition that was not expecting customers. Guide provided minimum information, when we had questions. iCompared to other guides that we have had, it was a poor experience.

The Monastery and church are both stunning. Well worth the effort to visit. This tour is a must-do if you are visiting Sofia. Our driver Marin was excellent and very helpful. Car clean and excellent driving. The winery was unhelpful, just offering us three cheap miniature bottles to take away. So we bought 2 nice bottles and created our own tasting.

It was an amazing experience with guide Georgi. One of the best guide we met during our 15 years of travel through various parts of the world. It was most wonderful and enjoyable guided day tour we have with Georgi. His knowledge about history of Balkan and Bulgaria is immense and he is a very friendly guy!! It was a pleasure exploring the Rila monastery, Boyana church and wine valley with Georgi
