Monastery Tours in Bulgaria

Private tours visiting the most emblematic and famous Christian temples in Bulgaria and introducing you to basic facts about the Orthodox religion, architecture and art. As Bulgaria is known for its Jewish and Muslim heritage too, so private visits to synagogues and mosques are also possible upon a request.

The sample programs below are based on decades of my tour guide experience, which can be starting points for dialog and customization of your unique Bulgarian experience and memories.
