Imagine yourself walking where Bulgarian emperors once tread, exploring the grand Tsarevets fortress – a labyrinth of palaces, a patriarchal seat, and imposing walls whispering tales of a glorious past. But Veliko Tarnovo is more than just a fortress city! Trapezitsa, once a haven for nobility, awaits with its captivating churches, each a testament to the city’s artistic heritage. Here, the echoes of the Tarnovo Artistic School – a renowned center of medieval art – still linger. This exclusive tour, unlike any other, offers an unparalleled opportunity to delve into the heart of Veliko Tarnovo. Your local guide, a true expert, will show you the beauty and the glory of this wonderful city. This is Veliko Tarnovo, unveiled just for you.

A remarkable experience! - The guide was superbly knowledgeable and very personable! The in-depth information during the tour of the fortress and old town was educational and entertaining; exactly what I wanted! You can see several eras clearly in the fortress and the traditional construction in the narrow streets of the old quarter of Veliko Tarnovo are remarkable! I strongly recommend.
