    Ivo is supremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the history and culture of Bulgaria, giving us a great background to the trip. He drove us safely in the comfortable air conditioned vehicle. The ‘bridges’ are well worth the 2hr winding, scenic drive. Wear shoes with good grip as paths are steep & slippery in places. You won’t be walking far from the vehicle & can opt out of any paths you’re not happy about. Absolutely magical place! Next, to interesting old village then delicious food stop (ask Ivo for recommendations). Last stop at the ornate monastery- more great stories, facts and descriptions from Ivo! Wonderful, un-hurried, memorable day. Thank you from the four of us.

    What an awesome day we had in the Rhodope Mountains! Our guide Ivo was friendly, helpful and so very knowledgeable about the mountains and the history of Bulgaria and the whole Balkans region. The Wonderful Bridges are so much more impressive in real life than in photos, and we thoroughly enjoyed wandering alongside the river, walking the streets of Kosovo and into some of the buildings at the monastery, all the while with Ivo making the history come alive! As for lunch, we had the best bob (bean stew) and makitsa!!

    This was a great day trip from Plovdiv. About an hour and half drive out to the mountains, the drive was beautiful. The bridges were bigger than I expected and Ivo, my guide had a ton of knowledge about all the landscape, the history of the town of Kosovo, and the monastery. We had a GREAT lunch that day too and wonderful conversation along the way. There is light hiking involved which was fun and he took a bunch of good photos on my phone for me out there. I want to thank him and Bultrips for not canceling that day even though I was the only one that signed up for that day. It was EXCELLENT and I recommend it to anyone visiting Plovdiv area.

    Fantastic trip with Evo. His knowledge of history is excellent and this made the trip. The bridges were very pretty, but it was just so nice to be in the beautiful Bulgarian nature. Kosovo was an interesting little town, but the trip was really a lesson on Bulgaria and it's history. I learnt so much and Evo was great to hang out with and be inquisitive. Excellent- thank you!

    We went to the Marvelous Bridges and Kosovo (village) with Ivo who is a fantastic guide. He is personable and very knowledgeable about both the human and natural history of the area. Having him as our guide allowed us to have more understanding and enjoyment of the region than if we’d traveled by ourselves, and we got to see a lot more than we otherwise would have. The trip far exceeded our expectations and we highly recommend Ivo for any tour!

    Marvelous Bridges

    Marvelous Bridges

    At 08:00 your guide will pick you up from your hotel and you will start a beautiful and scenic trip toward the highlight of the day- Marvelous Bridges. The Marvelous Bridges are a set of unique natural bridges formed over millions of years through the process of erosion. These bridges are located in the Rhodope Mountains of Bulgaria and are considered to be some of the most stunning and unusual geological formations in Europe. Each bridge is carved from solid rock and is a result of the relentless action of water over time. The bridges vary in size, shape, and height, but all have a natural beauty that is truly breathtaking. Some of the bridges are over 100 meters in height and span up to 50 meters across. The tallest and most famous bridge, known as the Eye Bridge, is a popular spot for tourists and is considered one of the most beautiful and impressive natural wonders in Bulgaria.
