I could see a lot of beautiful landscapes. Especially the view from the summit of the fortress was amazing. At lunchtime my guide took me to the restaurant and I could have some Bulgarian traditional cuisine. And she explained the geology of that region to me, it was interesting.

Delle due cose che ho visitato parlerò ma brevemente: valgono entrambe sia il viaggio che la spesa. La prima, la fortezza, sembra costruita da troll, che dopo averla ultimata si sono scordati che il sole arrivava e sono rimasti pietrificati (tradotto per chi non è un nerd: vale la pena). La seconda cosa, la grotta, la stanno "allestendo" nel senso che stanno organizzando il tutto ma già è fruibilissima e incantevole. Ok, non è per persone con problemi di claustrofobia o con difficoltà motorie, ma vi sembrerà di entrare in un posto magico. Non aspettatevi una grotta infinita perché scende per 25 metri ed è lunga 200 ma vale la pena. Ma parliamo dell'agenzia. La persona che mi è stata mandata si è presentata in netto anticipo, aspettando che io fossi pronto. Siamo partiti per questo viaggio di circa 3 ore e abbiamo parlato tutto il tempo, un poco di ciò che avremmo visitato, un poco di altro. Compagnia molto piacevole. Arrivati sul posto mi ha scortato, assecondando le mie richieste e illustrandomi bene quel che visitavamo. Abbiamo anche diviso un ottimo pasto bulgaro. Davvero molto piacevole la sua presenza e compagnia. Grazie Velko!Sylwia_K

If someone loves nature, I definitely recommend it. Very beautiful places. Definitely worth a visit. Minuses - rather poor infrastructure for tourists. Having trouble finding a restroom or eating lunch. But as for me, the views from above compensated for the shortcomings :)

It was a beautiful place to visit and the guide was good. Comment on how the booking system is set to to be DISCRIMINATORY against SOLO travelers. It is plainly WRONG that I, a solo traveler, paid almost twice as much as others. In my group it was 3 people: me and two people. I paid $70 more than the two who booked together. The only reason was because I booked as one person. How does this system make sense? It needs to be fixed and Viator needs to refund the differences to those who have become victims of this unethical business practice.303alexaj

So, I have absolutely nothing bad to say about this tour/trip. It was a fabulous experience. I was traveling solo, so I was a little apprehensive about what the day would be like, but Deyan was a wonderful guide. He was very kind and friendly, along with being both informed (and curious!) about the region, His enthusiasm was contagious. The drive north was long but beautiful--we drove through mountains and got to see a lot of forest and small towns. Deyan had learned about a great spot to view Belogradchik before heading to the fortress, so we hiked to an incredible spot that overlooked the entire area. We also got to check out some of the flora and fauna, which was fascinating. We grabbed lunch at a local restaurant (including trying a bit of rakia), before heading to the fortress. The fortress was a combination of indescribable geological formation--just calling them red rock spires doesn't do them justice--and historical architecture with the fortress itself. We spent some time exploring and hiking around the site before checking out the small local natural history museum nearby. The museum curator was very enthusiastic and showed us some local plants that are only found in this region, despite the fact that similar climate can be found elsewhere. They are still working on figuring out why this is. From there, we entered the final leg of our trip to Venetsa Cave. We got there just in time for the final tour, and were given hard hats before we ventured down into the cave. Deyan translated what our guide was saying, and we went through five rooms that held rock formations I'd never seen before. Many of the stalactites were made of a rock that glowed when light was behind it, so we got a spectacular show. The ride back was long, but a wonderful opportunity to decompress and take in the scenery after such a packed day. Deyan was truly a great guide, and I would recommend this trip to any and everyone. I'll be looking into more tours from this company the next time I'm in Bulgaria (next summer? we'll see!).nataliarK5725CO
