“Splendors of Bulgaria” is for the culturally sophisticated soul of the great discoverers and goes beyond and
deeper than the classical tour of Bulgaria. The destinations are carefully chosen for their significance and local charm,
some of which are rarely frequented by tourists. Private visits, private concerts and chats with insiders in the culture field
reveal in a different light, sites already famous for their significance for the world cultural heritage. It mixes the luxury
with the authentic, local character of the places.
Travelers will see signature sites such as the 10th century Rila
Monastery and Boyana Church, the Danube Riverside, the Black Sea Coast, the Thracian Tombs around Kazanluk, as well as the
oldest Neolithic houses in Europe, built 6000 years B.C. Together with these famous places, the tour includes small villages,
pottery towns, ancient cities, and four out of the 7 sites included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Carefully designed
so the traveler can admire both the pristine nature of the Bulgarian mountains, plains and rivers, as well as the traditions
of the Bulgarian people – their crafts, their arts and culture – the tour is a mosaic of experiences and a feast
for the eyes and senses.
“Splendors of Bulgaria” is also the richest tour to Bulgaria in gourmet and wine
experiences, helping the travelers to discover tastes and aromas deeply rooted in the best European traditions.
Woven
into the tour program also are the rich interactions with the Bulgarians, so Cultural Crossroads travelers can understand
and live the legend of the country. Almost everyday there is an event in the tour which put the travelers in direct contact
with the local people. Once, it is a hand bread-making lesson, kneading the dough with young and old women, who preserve centuries
old rituals. Another time is a story-telling exchange between the travelers and high school students of English language.
And of course, there are the sophisticated dialogues with museum directors, archaeologists, musicians, and wine or perfume
makers.
A great cultural and creative tour, “Splendors of Bulgaria” shows the best of the country for the
most demanding travelers.
