Great tour. We were able to see some incredibly old churches and monastery that had incredible frescos on the walls. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the history and entertaining

Our guide was such a courteous and warm lady. The tour design itself included beautiful places in Serbia and Bulgaria. Highly recommended!

If you want to get away from the city and see some beautiful countryside, this is the way to go!
This is a private tour - I was traveling alone and a little worried about how it would work with just me and a guide in the car all day, but Maria was an awesome guide. She is very knowledgeable but makes it into an interesting conversation rather than just telling you the standard tour info.
The drive in Serbia included gorgeous scenery. There's not a lot to see at the monastery, it's just a calm beautiful place. One of the monks invited us to sit and have tea and honey (locally produced). After that we went to a nice restaurant for a traditional Serbian meal.
At the end we stopped at Boyana church at the outskirts of Sofia. That part was a bit rushed (there were a lot of other people there, and you only get limited time inside the church). My only critique is that I would have rather spent more time enjoying the Serbian countryside and skip Boyana.
But overall, this trip was one of the highlights of the time I spent in Sofia.
We always double-check the availability with our local partners for each booking. Even though this is usually a swift process, it can take up to 24 hours. Once this process is completed you will receive your voucher or ticket by email. If our local partner is not able to confirm your booking we will offer you the best possible alternative. If the new date and/or time doesn’t fit your itinerary, we will reimburse the full amount paid.
