Super expérience, le guide m’a récupéré à l’hôtel puis nous sommes allés au monastère de rila. Le guide est un livre d’histoire à lui tout seul… on a pu échanger sur la Bulgarie pendant tout le trajet. Il m’a aussi expliqué beaucoup de choses très intéressantes dans le monastère. Puis nous avons repris la route et le guide m’a déposé à Sapareva Banya où j’ai pu profiter de la piscine à 38 degrés et des hammam et saunas pendant au moins 2 heures… c’était super relaxant ! Bref, je recommande cette excursion ! Merci au guide :)
