Saeva dupka and Ledenika Caves Day-Tour from Sofia

Leuk dagje gehad, waarbij we 2 grotten bezochten. Echter ben je maar een half uur in de grotten en hadden wij de pech dat ze de lasershow deden ipv verder de grotten in. De lasershow stelt niet veel voor en komen uit een oud tijdperk en is dus niet indrukwekkend. Een gemiddeld festival heeft betere lasers en je komt tenslotte voor de grotten. Verder zien de grotten er mooi uit. Wel ben je meer aan het rijden dan dat je in de grotten bent. Al maakt het rijden door de bergen veel goed met al die mooie uitzichten. Verder hadden we een privegids die ons rondreed en zorgde voor de vertaling want de gidsen in de grotten kunnen geen engels. Al met al was het een geslaagde trip en hebben we genoten.

This was a wonderful trip! My 12 year old and I had a great time. Our guide was outstanding! His English was impeccable! Lunch was at a hotel and was very tasty...beware of HUGE servings!! Everyone was very knowledgeable and it made for the perfect day!!!

The best tour I had in a while. You get to see two interesting caves and the amazing Balkan mountain around Vratsa! The first cave was unique and relaxing, and the second one has a really nice laser show. My guide Mike, was amazing. He is well informed about the place, very polite, and told me a lot about Bulgaria. We had a lot of fun talking together. Recommended tour if your like caves and mountains.

This tour involves visiting two different cave systems, with lunch at Vratsa in-between. The first system is Saeva dupka, which is the lesser-known of the two. The facilities are very rudimentary, but the caves fascinating. In contrast, Ledenika is a professional, well-organised, tourist attraction, backed by substantial EU money. To be honest, I found the first site - Saeva dupka - more authentic and enjoyable, whereas Ledenika had coloured lights and an unnecessary laser show. Lunch was at the Seagull restaurant just outside Vratsa, and was of a high standard it's an upmarket hotel. We had made good time so I asked if we could explore Vratsa for 30 minutes or so and the excellent guide, Georgi, was happy to accommodate. Vratsa is not really a tourist town per se, but has some historical monuments and provides an interesting contrast to Sopia. I think it is a bonus and I would explicitly name and include it as a short stop in this excursion as it deserves to be better known.
