We can offer you one day tour to Bulgaria – a fascinating land with long and tumultuous history, delicious cuisine and friendly people. You will visit three undoubtedly amazing places of Basarbovo Rock Mountains, Ivanovo Rock Mountains and Veliko Tarnovo. These historical and religious sites are symbols of the Bulgarian culture.
The first place you will visit during our tour will be the Basarbovski Rock Monastery of St. Dimitrius Basarbovski which is the only active rock monastery in Bulgaria. The first written records about that place are dated back to the 15th century. This Bulgarian-orthodox cave monastery is located in the valley of Rusenski Rom River in north eastern Bulgaria. This place is a must-see because of unique architecture, landscape and atmosphere. The next stop will be at another religious site of Ivanovo Rock-Hewn Churches. It is a complex of rock-hewn churches, chapels, monasteries and cells inscribed into UNESCO' list in 1979, which is situated 20 km south of Ruso. There can be found stunning and well-preserved medieval frescoes which present unique artistic sensitivity of medieval art in Bulgaria.
