Our trip to the Rila Monastery was amazing. Unfortunately we had visited right when the Coronavirus started to get more serious in Europe therefore there were hardly any tourists. As bad as it had been for tourism, it worked out well for us as we had the place to ourselves. We also weren't able to visit the Boyana Church as it had been closed. Our guide Lubo was fantastic. He was such a wealth of knowledge and a great story teller. I love history and learning about the places I visit and he told the story perfectly. I sure hope this whole madness with the Corona ends sooner than later to have people experience Bulgaria and Rila Monastery as they are both great places to visit. I highly recommend doing a tour with Lubo as you will not be disappointed.

La ns. guida, Georgie, era molto preparata e disponibile. Il tempo a disposizione al monastero di Rila è forse eccessivo, mentre è assai veloce la visita alla chiesa di Bojana. Ottimo il pranzo in un ristorante locale.

A friend and I went out in the evening for a trip to some amazing places in Sofia. The amazing guide Maria was with us! From there we drove to a beautiful Bulgarian restaurant, with good food, we really enjoyed it!

Very friendly and professional guide ( lubo) rila monastery is beautiful.. Boyana Church is very interesting but the staff there is not very friendly and allows you only 10 minutes inside for 10 leva

Awesome guide, very knowledgeable and great to talk to during the drive. Due to Covid the group was small (me and one other participant). So it felt like a private tour
