Viagem diurna para grupos pequenos a Veliko Tarnovo e Arbanassi saindo de Sofia

The tour was for 8 people, 5 Spaniards and 3 Italians. Since the guide Tuni also spoke Spanish and the Italians agreed, he resorted to English only when required, in case of doubts in the translation. Tuni was a good guide, very kind and prepared. At all times he helped with suggestions for our free time. The criticism is that I honestly think that the tickets should be included in the tour, because for example for the entrance to a house in Arbanasi they asked for almost 7 euros per person, a very exaggerated price that the whole group ended up refusing.

The trip is exhausting, 3 hours there and another 3 back, the road is terrible and full of potholes, for what there is to see, it is pretty, but nothing special. The guide was a bit unconcerned about the people, if you understood him fine and if not too bad, what's more, we returned with two people missing.

Veliko Tarnovo was the capital of Bulgaria, and the fortress of Tsarevets attests to this. However, it is a journey that takes a long time by bus and the one that remains to visit freely the fortress (very ruined) and the city is not too much.

Veliko Tarnovo is quite a different place and the "Tsarevets" (fortress) is definitely worth the trip!

The day tour to Veliko Tarnovo and Arbanassi was great, also Maria, our Guide, and Teodore, the driver, were excellent, very profissional.

Excellent schedule, communications, and comfort. Special shout out to engaging Martin (Plovdiv), passionate Hristo (Rila), super helpful Petar, and my favourite, the informative and super lovely Maria (Veliko). Thank you

We had a very pleasant 5 day tour with Radi. He was very pleasant, helpful, knowledgeable and polite. He told us many interesting stories along the journey. We would recomend Radi and Traventuria without hesitation to anyone who wants a professional and fun tour of Bulgaria! Thank You Radi!!!!! From Mihailov Family

We booked 3 tours. Two of them (Rila monastery & Boyana church and Plovdiv with Koprivshtitsa) were absolutely amazing. Thanks to the great drivers Peter and Marin and our great guide Maria Maneva. She made us love Bulgaria and we learnt a lot about its history and traditions. She knows so much, she even sang a song for us and taught us to dance. We had two great days with Maria as our guide. We really hope her enthusiasm is rewarded. The third tour was on Monday the 7th of August to Veliko Tarnovo. The city is very nice and the fortress is impressive. Unfortunately we had a man (with long dark hair) with a name Svet as our guide. It seemed that he didn't like his job. When we met him at the cathedral, he didn't even introduce himself. There were only 4 people in our group so we drove in a small car. While driving Svet didn't say a word. NOT A WORD in 3 hours! It was the most awkward experience we have ever had during the tours. He didn't tell a lot about Veliko Tarnovo. In fact, he couldnt answer simple questions (like: what is this statue we stopped to look at?) with more than reading the available signs. He was really more a driver than a guide. On the way back he finally started to talk, but not about Bulgaria. He talked about his personal ideas and conspiracy theories about Covid, ruining the Chinese economy, etc. It was brought up during the day that the freemasons and illuminati control the world. Awkward, uncomfortable, irritating. Not what we paid for when we wanted to learn about Bulgaria. It was our first tour in Bulgaria with Traventuria and we were so disappointed that we were going to cancel the other two tours. Luckily we didn't do it. Because the next day Maria saved the image and reputation of Traventuria.

Amazing experience, interesting history and culture. Fortresses beautiful and alot of great walking throughout the tour.

We had the opportunity to travel with a great guide, Lubo, who has the sensibility, wisdom and amability to take us through the beauties of Bulgaria. We had a great moment and we would definitely recommend it, overall now during the pandemic, cause it is almost empty and you can find yourself alone watching the fresques of Arbanasi's church. We highly recommend them. Thank you Lubo !
