4.00A very interesting tour, mainly to people who are interested in art, Christianity and churches. The van was comfortable, Chris the tour leader was nice and patience and I enjoyed. Just one recommendation: better to bring with you something to eat at lunch, since in Rila Monastery the are 2 restaurants with a very slow service and not that good,
