Join us in this adventure to feel the past!  We’ll show you three different historical periods in the Bulgarian lands – The neolithic age, Late Antiquity, and the Bulgarian Revival (18-19 century). That’s why we call this tour our time machine.

In this trip, you will see how the people came and started living in the Balkan peninsula, how Christianity spread in the 4th century and how Bulgarians fought for their freedom and independence.

Come to the place where the time stops.

Koprivshtitsa

Later we’ll stop in Koprivshtitsa – a hidden gem in Sredna Gora mountain. A lot of famous Bulgarians were born here – Bulgarians that they changed the history. The biggest uprising against the Ottoman empire started from here, a final step to the dreams of Bulgarians – the freedom. We’ll see some of the houses, very well preserved from the 19th century, and the Runny rocks, where is the monument of Benkovski, one of the commanders of the April uprising. Free time to enjoy of the Bulgarian cuisine to taste the hangover soup or fried bread with the Bulgarian spice – colorful salt.

    A lovely day into the mountains to visit amazing villages that have remained intact over the years and to learn about their historical significance in Bulgarian culture and history. I was fortunate to be the only person on the tour so I was able to get lots of information from the very knowledge guide.

  • Fantastic personal tour.
