Our driver from Sofia to Skopje was very professional and experienced. Told us plenty of facts and knowledge about both Bulgaria and North Macedonia. When we arrived in Skopje our local guide was very nice and very professional. The whole trip felt very safe. I would totally recommend this trip to anyone who is in Sofia for a few days and enjoys Long Road Trips.

Our driver (Ilyam) and guide Lena were just brilliant. Both very friendly and helpful. Lena gave us lots of information about Skopje and the history of the country. We saw the old part of Skopje, the bridges, the Triumph, the North Macedonian Square and we visited Mother Teresa's museum. We had adequate time to wander around and explore the area.

The tour itself was fine. The ride was excruciating. The driver was nice and friendly. Pickup was late and the driver blamed it on other guests not showing up on time. He spent a bit too much time fidgeting with his phone while driving. This made me uncomfortable as texting and driving is very unsafe. I spent 7.5 hours packed into a cramped van with another guest and I trying, unsuccessfully, not to sit on one another. By the time I was dropped off, I had severe cramps in my legs and lower back. The company needs to invest in larger vehicles or take fewer passengers. I would not recommend this tour. The transportation conditions are not worth it. Find another vendor.

Excellently planned trip from the tour providers. They were very enthusiastic about teaching us about North Macedonian history and we had a great time! It’s a shame daylight hours were so little and we did not get much F&E time. My only slight negative was the driver who took us was driving really fast (in a very confident and generally safe way, mind) and that made me a little bit anxious.

Bultrips are the best. Small groups and excellent service. We had a wonderful time and learned a lot about Bulgaria in this tour. We highly recommend it nd will definitely choose Bultrips again.

Excellent trip and guides in Bulgaria and North Macedonia were both excellent. We really enjoyed our day and recommend doing it.

It's exciting to see the Thracian tombs and rose museum. The tour guide Krasi is soooooo nice! He made the whole trip done smoothly and provided plenty of information. It's the best tour I've ever had! Highly recommended!

This is one of the best day tours we have ever done. Excellent value for money. Daniel is an outstanding guide. Picked us up at our AirBnb address no problem. Ride was comfortable. Daniel was extremely knowledgeable on the history of Sofia which is no tall order as the history is complicated and highly nuanced. We visited plenty of historical ruins and places of worship - with plenty of time for a relaxing lunch and walk through the main shopping and restaurant mall. If we could give more than 5 stars we would! Highly recommend this trip!! You won’t be disappointed!!

I have to say that it was definitely a success to find Adrian/Daniel and their business. It has been totally a success and a pleasant surprise to find trips-bg.com and use their motorcycle rental service. We are 5 friends who have been traveling once a year for 11 years to a different country each time. All five of us agreed that this trip to Bulgaria has been one of the best and It was basically thanks for finding Adrian/Daniel and his business which was totally a luck and a success. it is true that, nlike official rentals, they do not have their own workshop or shop like other official sites, but the motorcycles were really in excellent and optimal condition. And, above all, everything was very, very easy to organize with them, with a very good flow of contact. Also, the route and the recommendations that they proposed were excellent. It was basically 3 days of motorcycle riding and around 1000 kms. If anyone needs more information or suggestions, they can write to me at: tussini69@googlemail.com

This tour was very amazing and I really enjoyed it. Our driver was very professional, friendly and pleasant. Our guide, Lena, in Skopje did a wonderful job. She provided us with insightful information about the city. Please note it’s four-hour drive both ways, 2-hour classic walking tour in Skopje and 2 hours free time. So be prepared for this long trip. The border crossing experience between Bulgaria and Macedonia was really smooth. I would recommend this tour to anyone who would like to visit North Macedonia while staying in Sofia.

Although it was a long ride, we had a great guide with perfect English that kept it interesting with history, etc. Glad we visited Skopje, nice architecture.

The guide was fantastic, so knowledgeable about all the sights. Our tour had 4 plus the guide, so a great group size. We went to the fortress first, then the monastery so it would be quieter. That also gave us the maximum amount of free time in Plovdiv. The monastery is the 2nd largest and is very beautiful. The fortress has amazing views. Plovdiv was great and the guide covered all the key areas before we spent some free time. A great day trip to explore these sights

This one is for the history & archeology fans… The things you want to know: Pick up was on time at our location, travel was in a comfortable vehicle and stops for stretching legs, toilets and refreshments were planned in so absolutely no need to worry about any of that. It is a long day but it is worth it… Our Guide: Hugely knowledgeable and clearly passionate about his subject. Time passed quicker on route simply because of all the information he was able to impart. Spoke very good English so easy to understand and equally happy to take plenty of questions. Good luck asking him something about Bulgarian history he can’t answer! The Trip: The first stop is just a teaser and then on to the museum. Having the guide is essential, the artefacts in the museum are brought to life through the knowledge of the guide. Stopped for a quick bite and then on to the other tombs. These tombs were all unique but all fascinating and amazing giving an incredible insight into Thracian culture. Should I go? Well, if history is your thing, when else are you ever going to see and enter burial tombs from the 4th century BC? Or spend time with an expert in the history of Bulgaria or Thrace in particular? Book it now.

The guide arrived promptly at 8:30, we travelled in a small, but comfortable mini van as there was only one other person on the tour. The drive took a little over two hours with a short stop on the way to get snacks, stretch our legs. We went on a great walking tour around Plovdiv, with stops the see the stadium, theatre and one of the houses in the old town. We then had time to have lunch and wander on our own before heading to the fortress and monastery. Both were fascinating in different ways. The guide was friendly and professional and very knowledgeable.

Great scenic views almost non-stop. Definitely worth seeing. Traveller warning 1 Did require an inclined hike, nothing overly strenuous but hard on children, elderly with health issues. 2 Did end up fairly remote, with the bathroom facilities becoming more and more 'rustic' - take toilet paper.
