Visit Veliko Tarnovo full day - Extraordinary visit to Veliko Tarnovo, our guide and driver was Ventsislav who gave us very complete information of the city, the fortress, the pedestrian zone, places to eat, where to buy souvenirs, all excellent. Then he took us to Arbanasi, where we walked again through its streets and went to the church to see his paintings. Finally he took us to the Assen Dynasty Monument, and then returned to Sofia. Definitely a great Ventsislav guide from Multi Travel, thank you for everything

Great tour - do it! - Our tour guide/driver was fantastic and took great care of us. It was raining heavily but he ensured we got the full experience and asked how much we wanted to push through all the parts of the tour given the weather - meaning he followed the desires of the group. He was on time and wrote the day before to reconfirm which I thoroughly appreciated. He was personable and a safe driver, and had great recommendations for meal and shopping.
The town itself is nice and walkable (quite beautiful when you see the placement of the fortress), and the history is interesting.

Must see part of Bulgaria - This is a beautiful and historic part of Bulgaria. The fort and the nativity of Christ are must sees. The ride went quickly because the guide ventsislav is engaging and the scenery is beautiful. Vent offers just enough info and is patient and service oriented. I traveled with him to Plovdiv as well.

Simply excellent 👌 - It was an excellent day, the time passed very quickly, the group was little but very nice. It was a flexible tour adjusted to the needs and interests of the group. The guide Ventislav is nice, easy going, proactive, and very helpful. I met people who regularly attend his tours.

Strolling back into history! - The best part was going to Arbanasi Church! The frescoes were absolutely beautiful!
Lots of walking at the Veliko Tarnovo Fortress but it was a very interesting historical site!
