What To Expect
Devetashka Cave
Your day of adventure begins with a morning pick-up from your Sofia hotel before we embark on a scenic two-and-a-half-hour drive to our first stop: the spectacular Devetaki Cave. This massive, naturally lit cavern has a fascinating history. Home to prehistoric humans, it later served as a natural Roman food refrigerator and a secret Cold War military base. Movie fans might also recognize its grand arches from the Hollywood blockbuster The Expendables 2.
Krushunskiye Waterfalls
Next, we visit the ethereal Krushuna Waterfalls, Bulgaria’s largest travertine cascade. Famous for its emerald-blue pools and lush forest setting, the falls are breathtaking year-round. Even in the summer when water levels naturally drop, the vibrant, mossy rock terraces remain a beautiful sight.

5.00An amazing and knowledgeable tour guide and great overall tour. Got to see a lot, cave, fortress, and waterfalls, were all worth the journey, as well as experiencing local culture and food at lunch. I highly recommend.
Enjoyable tour and worth the drive

5.00It was a lovely experience. Ivan, our tour guide, was very kind and knowledgeable. I recommend booking this tour with Bultrips over other companies, because you will be in a relatively small group and it’s more comfortable. The cave and waterfalls are stunning and are definitely worth the drive! Lovech is a nice town, with scenic views of the covered bridge. There is also an interesting contrast of architecture in Lovech, with buildings from both the Revival period and Communist era. We ate in a restaurant in the old neighborhood of Varosha, which is very quaint. Lastly, the views from the medieval fortress are beautiful and a good opportunity for photos.
Rainy day out but a good experience.

5.00We has an early pick up by our driver/guide on the 8th. Unfortunately it was a rainy day. The Devetaki cave is huge and has an interesting history during cold war days, used as a fuel dump. Very little signs of this remains. We moved on to the Krushuna waterfalls and due to two days of rain was quite spectacular. Unlike the photograph advertised torrents of brown water was pouring down the falls. This did prevent us taking a circular walk as the small bridge/platform that we should have crossed was covered by the torrent of water. On arriving at Lovech we crossed the covered bridge which originally was constructed in the late 19th century. The present bridge is much recent as it had to be rebuilt due the a fire in 1925. We had a one hour break for lunch. After lunch the guide took us up through the old town to the fortress for a view over Lovech and back down to our car through a different part of the old town. Our guide/driver was well informed and took us through the history of Bulgaria and the places we visited. It was a pleasure to have the guide we had on the day, very approachable and friendly. The only thing that dampened the experience was the rain on the day.
Great for nature exploration

5.00We went on this trip on Sep 15 with Ivo. He picked us up on time. His car was spacious and clean and he even offered us some water, as it was supposed to be a very hot day. He was a very safe and calm driver and very good guide. Maybe a little softspoken, but very knowledgeable. The Devetaki Cave was absolutely fascinating, the Krushuna Falls were beautiful, we enjoyed our time in Lovech and had a really great time overall. After our trip on the day before was rather an ordeal, we were so lucky to have Ivo as our guide this time around and were extremely impressed with how beautiful and diverse Bulgarias landscape and history is.
Top Trip. Worth the time and money.

5.00My guide. Theodore. Couldn't have found a better guide. His knowledge and insights are just awesome. Highlight for me was the waterfalls and caves. Absolutely stunning. Covered Bridge cos of plentiful shops. Only comment is awareness of the 2hr journey to get there. Plenty of stops for biobreaks n snacks. All in all ...superb.
I found what I was looking for.
