5.00This was an amazing trip with a very knowledgeable guide. The scenery was breathtaking and Assen’s Fortress was the star of the show. Photos do not do justice to this piece of history you just have to see it for yourself. Thank you so much!

5.00We had a great time! This tour is definitely worth it if you're looking for an adventure outside of Plovdiv. We started with the fortress, which was very impressive, then headed to the wonderful bridges, and ended with the monestary. We had a lunch as well which was delicious Bulgarian food at a nice restaurant. Highly recommend!!
Wondrous Sites, exceptional guide!

5.00Really varied and stunning tour visiting the wonderful bridges (much more spectacular than on the pictures), Bachkova monastery (which was stunning) and the Assens fortress in the beautiful Rhodope mountains. Our guide Christina was friendly and knowledgable and any of these places would be worth a visit on their own so doing 3 in a row was great.
