Bulgaria

Known for its captivating culture and breathtaking views of both mountain and Sea, Bulgaria is one of the most unique countries in the world. With culture traditions dating back thousands of years, you’ll be riveted with excitement as you gather hundreds of amazing stories to tell your friends and family the moment you return home.

In the heart of Bulgaria you’ll come across ancient orthodox monasteries holding the mysteries of the past. You’ll discover well-preserved Thracian ruins with archaic tombs buried with treasures unknown to most people alive today. You’ll also have the chance to lay your eyes on some of the most fascinating, valuable, oldest items made out of gold ever produced in the world.

You’ll also be seduced by a sea of Bulgarian roses in central Bulgaria, which has become known as The Rose Valley. Bulgaria has long been known for it’s magnificent rose production, with its rose oil being a staple fragrance used in the perfume industry around the world.

More, you’ll be met with an interesting mix of cultures… a blend of European and oriental brought over by a 500 year long Turkish occupation.

Don’t waste your money on “typical” tours who stuff you on a tour bus with dozens of other people… rush you throughout each location and herd you like cattle.

Instead, you’ll be escorted throughout the most captivating parts of the country with your own privately designed tour, private driver and tour guide, and an itinerary built specifically for you based on the way you like to travel and particular interests you have.
