We visited Rila Monastery and Boyana Church - only one other couple so it was far more than a "shuttle bus" as the driver was not only sociable but provided us with great information. Our next trip was to Plovdiv - that was an experience I would not have missed! Velko, our guide, tailored the trip to fit our interests... More

I've taken three tours with Traventuria: Rila Monastery, Plovdiv and Veilko Tarnovo. All three have been fantastic experiences due to the fact that the tour guides would tailor the trips to our needs. For example, during the last tour I was a bit tired of churches. Velko, an excellent tour guide, modified the tour and took me to a great... More

My husband and I used Traventuria's shuttle bus service to the Rila Monastery and Boyana Church outside of Sofia. The shuttle bus provided us with a driver, not a guide; however our driver Orlin was amazing and offered up a ton of great information about Bulgaria, the Monastery, dining options, etc. The shuttle departure was prompt and clean. The monastery... More

Dear Adena, Thank you for the review and the good words. We are always trying to improve our services. Soon there will be also an audioguide for the Rila Monastery and Boyana Church Shuttle, which I hope will just compliment our driver-guides. We also have a new video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbsN-fDHyhc , which I hope can be used by travelers who... More

Overall satisfied and I would give Traventuria five-stars had the firm not quoted me a price for the tour and then changed my itinerary from 4 days to 3 days without a price adjustment after my tour began. But due to the last minute nature of the tour, I decided to make the best of it. MAKE SURE YOU GET... More

Dear Corrinne, Than you very much for the review. I believe it will be useful to a lot of other travelers. I strongly believe that self-guided tourists like yourself can greatly benefit from hiring an English-speaking driver with a general information about the sites and Bulgaria, rather then hiring a professional guide. I definately disagree, however, with the statement that... More

I did the shuttle with my boyfriend and due to it being the off season there were only two other people with us. Our driver was great to talk to and even told us a few things about the places though I hadn't expected any guiding. Rila Monastery is very much worth a trip from Sofia and Traventuria made it...

We are seasoned travelers who generally avoid group tours if we can help it. But, as we cannot read Cyrillic, and had limited time in sofia, thought it better to book a few day trips with a tour group. Found traventuria when googling day trips from sofia, and booked 2 separate trips to rila and to Plovdiv and we were... More

I'm very satisfied with the service of Traventuria. Although the visit was to those two places, the driver - guide took us to a winery in the middle of the way to have the opportunity to try and buy the wines of Bulgaria. Wonderful landscapes of Bulgaria. Rila is really worth it. But maybe the time there was too much.... More

Unexpected places, beautiful landscape, excellent dishes and superb wines. Warm people! Plovdiv has been a pearl that it has made valuable the trip. I absolutely suggest TRAVENTURIA as tour operator for daily trip from SOFIA! I look forward to coming back on 2019 for the EUROPEAN CULTURAL YEAR !!! Enjoy Your Serdica.

I am very satisfied with the service of Traventuria. I went to Rila Monastery and Boyana Church from Sofia with the shuttle service which costs 25 Euro per person. They can pick you up from your hotel in Sofia for the additional cost of 5 Euro. Entrance fee to the museum in Rila Monastery and/or Boyana Church is NOT included... More
