My guide, Methodi, was so kind and nice, and gave me a lot of information about the trip and the country. Thank you, Methodi! The trip is so wonderful! You see the valley of the roses (not flowers at the time I was there, pity) and we visited 6 thracian tombs, all diffent and spectacular. If you are interested in history, archaeology or just like to enjoy beatiful landscapes, this is a must!

I throughly enjoyed this trip. My guide was extremely knowledgeable and the tombs are a fascinating part of a history which I knew nothing about. The Thracian culture is even older than the Romans and an important part of Bulgarian history. I would definitely recommend this tour, especially for all you fans of ancient history.
