I recently embarked on a tour to the Buzludzha Monument in Veliko Tarnovo, and it was an experience beyond compare. The journey began with a scenic drive through the picturesque Bulgarian countryside, setting the tone for what was to come. We enjoyed the cultural heritage of the site and the hospitality of the guide. We are extremely thankful for all the help and support!

We did the half day trip to Shipka and Buzludzha and also the off road safari to Arbanasi with Damien. This was one of the highlight of our time in Bulgaria! Damien is very passionate about his work and gave us a lot of information on the history of Bulgaria. We had a lot of fun and would definitely recommended people to join the tour when they are in Veliko Tarnovo.

Now the Buzludzha is forbidden to enter, and there is a guard outside. But the buiiding (or ruins) itself is still amazing. The guide was friendly and told us a lots about Bulgaria.

Ausgezeichnet organisiert, super Kommunikation. Sehr freundliche, nette Guides. Ursprünglich wollten wir nur kurzfristig nach Buzludzha, haben uns dann jedoch - nach Erklärung möglicher Optionen durch den Guide - noch für mehrere Stops auf den Weg dahin entschieden. Hätten wir mehr Zeit zur Verfügung gehabt, hätten wir noch mehr Touren hier gebucht - Top!
