Fun Day Trip - The tour was great! It was well timed and our guide, Ivan, was very informative about each place. The falls weren't as massive as we had expected, but our guide explained that in the spring when the winter snow melt is running off they grow drastically on size (we went in early September). The cave was very cool to experience and Lovech was a fun town!

Good tour. - Nice tour. Hit a few good spots all at once.
Dimitri was very knowledgeable and friendly.
The only complaint I have of this tour is that as a solo traveler you are charged almost double.

Excellent day - Message received the day before the excursion to confirm it. Guide driver's on time. There will be 6 of us on this minibus. The Guide established a very good atmosphere, was attentive and we spent a very pleasant day despite the rain. All the sites visited are worthwhile and are well presented by the Guide.

Spectacular - Visited both, the caves are inhabited by bats and you can smell, acrid smell that does not distract from the magic of the place, four holes in the ceiling that let the light filter through. They were used to shoot Mission Impossible with Stallone. Inside there are installations of small balanced stones and large circles on the ground, perhaps in the past there were mines. The falls require an uphill walk in a beautiful forest, molto.suggestive and definitely worth visiting

Brilliant experience - To start with guide Laura has made us feel so comfortable right from picking up from hotel and all the way dropping back. she is absolutely brilliant, well knowledgeable and knows her stuff.
Water falls, even though not that big, gave a pleasant feel and enjoyed nice walk around that area.
Caves were magnificent and worth the visit.
Fort, mostly ruins, were just okay but Laura made it so interesting giving the facts of the history.
Closed bridge was an interesting one, encouraging local artists ans skills.

Lovech , Devetaki cave, Krushuna - I visited Lovech, devetaki cave and Krushuna waterfalls with BulTrips, and it was absolutely worth the price! Our driver, Viso, was fantastic. He shared the rich history of all the places we visited and even shared some delicious cherries with us. His sense of humor kept us entertained throughout the trip. I highly recommend this tour, especially with Viso as the driver!

Great trip, fantastic guide. - We really enjoyed this trip. Our guide, Maria was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and flexible. Nothing was too much trouble for her. Her English is excellent and she really gave us a taste of the true Bulgaria. Her enthusiasm for, and love of, her country was infectious.
The tour itself was extremely well organised with pick up and drop off from our apartment. The trip to Lovech was 2.5 hrs with a midway break for drinks and a comfort stop. The trip was exactly as described and Maria was flexible and allowed us to guide how long we spent in each place. We would highly recommend the trip.

The tour to Devetaki, Krushana and the fortress near Lovech was OK. Our tour had a great guide. - The guide was very patient, helpful and very safety-conscience. The Devetaki cave is unusual because it has several open roof sections. The deepest section is fenced off so it was difficult to see any bats. The Krushana falls are pretty but swimming is prohibited in the falls. The town of Lovech is OK and the fortress is partially ruined. The guide provided adequate at each location.
