Amazing day in Veliko Tarnovo

- Review from Viator
5.00It was a wonderful experience. We had two tour guides, Ves, for the trip and Avery gracious Bulgarian lady, both were outstanding. They were friendly, polite, accommodating, and knowledgeable.. Veliko Tarnovo is a gem and I strongly believe that it should be visited for one day with one of these tours.
