Add a second country to your trip with a well paced day tour from Bucharest to northern Bulgaria, covering three distinct stops in one itinerary: Ruse, Arbanasi, and Veliko Tarnovo.

After crossing the Danube, enjoy a short stop in Ruse, including the city center pedestrian area and the Holy Trinity Cathedral Church, then continue to the traditional village of Arbanasi, known for its historic houses and local atmosphere.

The highlight of the day is Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria’s medieval capital, where you will visit the Tsarevets Fortress and have free time to explore and enjoy the panoramic hilltop views.

A tour leader keeps the schedule on track and shares practical context about Bulgaria between stops, making this an easy, efficient way to experience the country in one day. Timings may vary depending on border procedures and traffic.

Best Day Tour from Bucharest

I really can’t put into words how amazing this trip was and our tour guide was exceptional. I went on May 7th so it was quite hot, but still nice. This was probably the best part of my trip to Bucharest even more so than Brans Castle and Peles castle. Bulgaria was truly exceptional and our guide gave us so many good recommendations of stuff to try and gave us great history lessons along the way, and he was very funny! I would do this trip again in a heartbeat!
Good sights, but beware

The trip and what we saw was fine and we liked it but I can only give a three star rating because 1) we had a driver but no guide. The driver had to serve in both jobs which is not fair to the driver. 2) The driver , Luciano, got too political in his comments. He said that life was better during communism ( then why the uprising?) He said that North Korean and Iran were better. He should not give his personal opinions. 3) He drive without the vehicle registration and we got stopped by Bulgarian border control for a long time - more than 39 minutes. We were lucky to pass without a fine. Either he or the company is at fault for not having vehicle registration in the vehicle. I’m sorry to write these problems for a trip that should have been lovely.

This trip to Bulgaria was the highlight of our trip. Our guide (bald man like my father) was simply the best, very friendly and professional! Lunch was great and recommended to eat it before the castle. We had a great time in Veliko Tarnovo, can only recommend!

I really enjoyed it. The only issue for me is the van was completely full. It's nice to meet new people, but to be so close to absolute strangers is uncomfortable. I realize you cannot rent an oversize vehicle to transport 6 people. But there should be a bit more space to add to the comfort of riding for several hours.

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable, answered all of our questions, had great personality, very explicit with the time and place where we should meet after our tour completed. He also gave us a lot of interesting background when we were traveling in our van. Our van driver was very safe, always aware of what was going on around us and did his best to keep us on schedule. We highly recommended this trip.

I had a really interesting and enjoyable day. The sites visited during the trip were varied and each offered distinct and different experiences. The journeys involved were long, and at times the traffic, roadworks etc caused problems that the driver/guide had to work round. On this trip the guide had to act as the driver as well, which was quite difficult and I'd suggest that shouldn't be done again. Nevertheless the guide, Lucian -apologies for the mis-spelling - did a fantastic job and made the day a success. I'm happy to recommend this trip.

Bulgaria is still developing their tourism, so it was a very interesting place to visit. Learning about its history was fascinating as it is very different from the rest of Europe. After touring Europe for so long and seeing all the historical the cities, they all can start kind of blending together. So visiting Bulgaria was a very nice change.
Hotel pick up service should be standard

First time visitor to Bucharest, and I was unable to locate the tour operator at the designated meeting point located at the university square. I arrived at the square on time, however the EXACT location of the tour operator wasn’t specific enough, and I guess it’s possible the tour operator came and went while I was wandering from one end of Elisabata blvd to the next trying to find the guy. Long story short, the instructions I was provided weren’t specific enough, and so it’s my mistake for booking a tour that does not provide pickup service from your hotel.
