Overview of your Sofia tour:

This unique tour gives a taste of life in the countryside, while introducing you to Bulgaria's majestic mountains, cultural heritage, food, wine, and local small-scale farming. If the city is not your thing, and you want to explore the countryside, this is your tour. In addition, we can still visit historical and cultural sites, with wine-tasting, hiking, wildlife observations, photography and sightseeing depending on your interests, time and ability. The Rila monastery - a UNESCO World Heritage Site - has a very rich history and has witnessed the rise and fall of different empires through the centuries. The hiking trail network can accommodate all types of weather and personal abilities. Having said that, the tour can be enjoyed also by people who can't / don't want to walk much.
