And you will be able to stop for pictures, shops and other things whenever you want! Enjoy a full-day tour out in the mountains with a convenient hotel pick up and drop off. *Women should have thier knees and shoulders covered on the monastery. *The Boyana church is closed on the 1st of January, on the Sunday of the Orthodox Easter, on the 24th of December, 25th of December and the 31st of December - and on such days the tour is done only to the Rila Monastery. Most times the trips are done with eco friendly cars - with cng engine or electro mobiles, so that we can help fighting the air polution.

È stata una gradevole e piacevole esperienza, grazie soprattutto alla nostra guida Nicolas, che ci ha accompagnato durante il tour di oggi 31.12.22. Nicolas ci ha spiegato, in perfetta lingua inglese, la storia dei siti visitati e tutte le vicissitudini correlate. I luoghi meritano davvero una visita.

I was lucky enough to get Marie on my private tour. She made the day come to life with her perspective and the knowledge she continued to share throughout the day. The sites were nice, but Marie made the day of great memories. Request Marie and your experience will be pleasant, informative, and relaxing.
