What better way to discover the Bulgarian countryside than by taking this small group full-day trip to the two most famous Bulgarian UNESCO sites – Rila Monastery and Boyana Church? Definitely, this tour should be your first choice. The road to Rila Monastery (2 hrs drive) passes at the foothills of Vitosha, through small sleepy villages and heads into the heart of the Rila Monastery Nature Park. There 900 years of history is waiting for you. Your driver-guide will provide you with commentary that will enrich your knowledge and trigger your imagination. You will have plenty of free time to explore the largest Bulgarian monastic complex. The nearby restaurants provide fresh and healthy food.
