Resplan
Shipka Memorial Church är ett enastående bulgariskt ortodoxt tempel byggt mellan 1885 och 1902 i staden Shipka vid foten av Balkanområdet. Shipka-monumentet är tillägnat de ryska, ukrainska och bulgariska soldaterna som dog för Bulgariens befrielse i det rysk-turkiska kriget 1877-78.
Arbanassi är en av Bulgariens mest anmärkningsvärda byar. Det är känt för sin rika historia och ett stort antal historiska monument, som kyrkor från 1600- och 1700-talet och exempel på arkitektur från Bulgariens nationella väckelse. Vi upptäcker den äldsta kyrkan i byn – Kristi födelse (1637 – 1649), grävd i marken utan klockstapel och med dold kupol. Detta imponerande monument, helt målat från insidan, är ett genuint konstgalleri med väggmålningar med över 3 500 fantastiskt realistiska figurer och bibliska scener, målade av okända konstnärer genom tiderna. Vårt nästa stopp är Konstantsalieva-husets museum som ursprungligen byggdes på 1600-talet och vackert restaurerat i National Revival-stil. Det återspeglar inte bara ägarnas rikedom utan också uppmärksamheten på detaljer och dåtidens kvalitetshantverk.
Ett av Bulgariens mest fantastiska landmärken är dess tidigare huvudstad Veliko Tarnovo (befolkning: 71 000). Den charmiga staden är amfiteatern belägen på 210 m a. s. l. vid Yantrafloden. Andra bulgariska kungarikets historiska huvudstad lockar många turister med sin unika arkitektur och vackra landskap. Den första platsen vi utforskar i staden är den imponerande fästningen Tsarevets – ett medeltida fäste som ligger på en kulle med samma namn. Tsarevets fungerade som det bulgariska imperiets primära fästning och starkaste bålverk från 1185 till 1393. Sedan går vi en promenad längs den vackra Veliko Tarnovos huvudgata, den pittoreska Gourko-gatan och den autentiska Samovodska Charshiya-gatan i Gamla stan där vi ser några hantverksutställningar, konstverk och traditionella souvenirer.

Very interesting tour, especially thanks to Kamen who provided comprehensive explanations above all the visited sites, all really worth a visit!
Thanks a lot!
Excellent excursion. Our driver-guide has done an admirable job, with patience, professionalism and friendliness. It has exceeded all my expectations. 100 percent recommended.
A most interesting, informative and humorous day was had with history, geography, fine food and a spot of retail thrown in for good measure. Karol was the perfect host at all times so it was a wonderful day out!
Our guide was very polite and thoughtful. He, Carmen, provided good explanations of the sites visited and interesting facts. He was attentive to our needs and gave us privacy when needed. We strongly recommend this guided trip. It is well organised as well and includes good restaurant advice. High five! Нашият водач беше много учтив и внимателен. Той, Кармен, даде добри обяснения на посетените сайтове и интересни факти. Той беше внимателен към нашите нужди и ни даваше поверителност при нужда. Силно препоръчваме това пътуване с екскурзовод. Той също е добре организиран и включва добри съвети за ресторанта. Висока пет!
Thank you Simon! I also had a great day with you. And the weather was just perfect. Thank you for booking in difficult times as well!
I was the only person on the excursion, so it was a completely private trip, and I could pick and choose aspects of it. In terms of the sights, Shipka and Arbanassi are excellent if you like ornate Orthodox churches, like me, and Veliko Tarnovo, with its fortress, is a must for an insight into Bulgarian history. The guide was great, happy, cheerful, friendly and chatty throughout, even though it was a very hot day and we were both a bit frazzled after a while. He even saved a turtle. The car was fine and comfy with a/c. I have removed one point out of five because the company kept pestering my guide all day long with repeated texts and phone calls. That we had to break off conversations a few times is a minor annoyance, but that he had to take calls while driving is a clear road safety issue.
Hello, And thank you for your time to review your trip. Please note that during the very busy season communication with the guides might be urgent at some times. The guide you had on that day is one of our best ones and he took only urgent calls that were short. He had declined all the personal calls and calls that weren’t urgent in order to provide the best possible service. I’m quite sure you have noticed your guide was the safest driver you can have. Safety has never been an issue during your trip (as it is always with our tours) and I’m surprised that you bring up this “road safety issue”. According to Bulgarian road laws (and road regulations in all countries around the world) driving and talking on the phone is allowed only when both hands of the driver are on the steering wheel. Your driver had always had his hands on the wheel while on the phone and he had answered urgent calls only. And you had the safest trip possible.
very interesting history plus beautiful scenery guide very knowledgeable and pleasant tour a lot better than expected. Would definitely use Viator again if coming if going to Bulgaria
From the text of your review I see that you actually had a 5 points trip with our guide. Thanks for that!
