Dear travelers, It is my pleasure that you are reviewing my profile and tours. I am a licensed tour guide, graduated in International Tourism - MBA. I am also a member of the Association of Bulgarian Tour Guides. Since 2002 I have gained the experience of creating tailor made itineraries and/or routes, professionally organize and do individual tours around Bulgaria, acting both as a driver and a tour guide. In the same time a am a proud father of two young boys, who, hopefully I will be able to show the world once they are grown up enough :) My services include guiding - giving the travelers rich historical and cultural information about the whole of Bulgaria, driving - providing airport transfers, as well as transfers to Bulgaria neighboring countries - Bucharest (Romania), Edirne, Istanbul (Turkey), Thessaloniki (Greece), Skopje, Ohrid (Republic of Macedonia - F. Y. R. O. M) Belgrade (Serbia) By choosing a personal tour guide you are actually choosing to have personal service, caring attitude and to receive up-to-date information about the daily life - a review over the economics, arts, education and health care in Bulgaria. I can also provide interpreting and translating services having more than 10 years experience. Licensed tour guide, licence #00384, issued by Ministry of Tourism of Republic of Bulgaria.

A rare but picturesque one-day trip to the Troyan Monastery, Devetashka Cave and the Krushuna waterfalls - an excellent combination of nature, culture and religion. An easy single-day experience, where travelers will enjoy a day out of Sofia, visiting breathtaking waterfalls, unique mother Earth's cave formation and the third biggest monastery in Bulgaria! Also for lunch a visit to the city of lilacs is planned - Lovech, where we will stop to take a stroll along the covered bridge and walk up the steps to the statue of Bulgarian most important revolutionary - Vassil Levski!
After starting from the agreed pick-up point, we'll take about a 3-hour drive to the area of the Krushuna waterfalls and the Devetashka cave. The waterfalls became particularly popular for a visit for the last 20 years, as around them a beautiful natural park has been arranged. The waterfalls are a number of cascading limestone formations, really a breathtaking view and feeling when you climb some of the steps taking you in the middle of the falls! Devetashka cave was revealed recently to the public as for over 30 years it's been turned into a military secret storage point for fuel and became especially popular after the movie "The Expendables" was shot here. We will make a stop at Lovech for a lunch break and some souvenirs and continue to: Troyan monastery keeps one unique original icon of Virgin Mary dated 13-14 century. The place is also great with its wonderful location nearby one town of craft masters. Not to speak about the architecture of the monastery and the beautiful frescoes in its church.

For the one-day tours I use my own vehicle -a 6-seater Toyota Previa in top mint condition. For groups of 6 and more persons an extra cost will be added for renting a bigger vehicle.
