Want a day away from Sofia? - It was a fun tour. Georgi is a really great guide, and he seems to enjoy what he’s doing. His English is excellent and we had some great conversations. I enjoyed exploring the fortress, the views from it are amazing, and the interesting rock formations fascinated me. The cave was interesting too. I recommend this tour and hopefully you get Georgi as the guide.

Amazing day out - Absolutely amazing place. The fortress is worth the climb trust me you can make it for those wonderful views. The caves where small but spectacular well worth a look and don't worry about the small passage it's not a hard as it sounds. Our guild/driver Ivan was a delight to be with for the day such a down to earth guy and so helpful, always looking out for you and picked good well priced mini comfort stops. We ate at this little truck no fancy restaurant and the food was delicious chop cooked right there very juicy & yummy pancakes

Great day out with a great tour guide. - Our tour was great! Michael was very friendly and knowledgeable. We made great time so were able to have extra time at our stops. The Belogradchick rocks and Venetsa caves were beautiful. We had stops for the washroom and it was reasonably priced and interesting.

The Belogradchik Full-day Tour from Sofia was a great experience - The journey from Sofia was smooth and well-managed, making the trip to this unique part of Bulgaria stress-free. Seeing the Belogradchik Rocks in person was absolutely incredible; the rock formations are breathtaking, and the views from the ancient fortress are stunning. Climbing through the historic walls felt like stepping back in time.Our guide was fantastic, sharing fascinating history and local legends that brought the entire site to life. This tour is a perfect mix of nature and history, and it is a must-do day trip for anyone visiting Sofia!"

Excellent day trip from Sofia - The rock formations and cave were so picturesque and surely if you have time given the place isnquit far from Sofia ! During the summer time there is a stage at belgradchek rocks which impedes the main view for photos which is a bummer ( July to September mid) so beware of that if your planning a summer trip there and get bummed like us if your into taking a lot of photos. The overall tour was smooth and the guide Micheal was very knowledgeable and friendly. One hiccup though was the car the agency provided for us given it was a private tour didn’t have any good air conditioning and it was a steaming hot day so that is something they can work to ensure better customer service and satisfaction.

Too rush - The fortress was awesome but we only were allowed a bit over an hour there, counting in lunch time too. It was too rush for the tour to pack a long drive and 2 sites into a short day. We did not leave Sofia until after 9, and already back in town before 6.

Very disappointed - Very unreliable. My tour was booked for 26/11, and they cancelled at 6pm (18:00hrs) on 25/11. This is a very short notice to arrange for any other tour. So I contacted Viator to help me submit a review so that others aren’t affected. Choose some other company to go with, this tour isn’t reliable at all.
