“The package offers different pick up locations, which is very helpful for us tourists , who don’t know the city very well. Going to the Salt mine , we did a stop at a cafe - snack spot, so we could grab a drink/snack for the salt mines. We arrived after 2h in total. The salt mine was very impressive, we stayed there for 2h which was more than enough. It was something different and very strange, I would recommend visiting it. On the way back, we did not make any stops. I would like to note that the guide (Angelica) was very helpful and fun to be around ,…”

Bucharest to Veliko Tarnovo in one day, with UNESCO Ivanovo Rock Churches, Tsarevets Fortress, artisan workshops, and Arbanassi Village.
“Carmen is a great tour guide and cracks jokes everytime. The tour itself is just okay for me. I think the highlight would be the Tsarevets Fortress, but I think you will need more time to explore everything including the city center. It’s understandable though because we travelled far away so the time is a bit hectic, but if you have more time, I suggest to spend overnight in Veliko Tarnovo and you can still probably explore Arbanasi by foot (because during the tour we only passed by the village while riding in the van). And don’t forget to bring your passport ;)”
