Reviews: 1-day tour to Rila monastery + Boyana church in Bulgaria | explore 2 world heritage sites
Guest User2025-03-15
A fantastic experience! Both attractions are well worth visiting. Those who enjoy history and culture shouldn't miss Boyana Cathedral; it's small, but the frescoes inside are fascinating (one depicts the Last Supper, predating Leonardo da Vinci's version, with a completely different composition). Our guide, Martin, was incredibly kind and his explanations were very entertaining, like listening to a stand-up comedy routine—he really knew how to keep everyone engaged. Also, if you buy bread outside the Rila Monastery, there are three types. The best is the Traditional (middle denomination, 1 local currency). The other two are enormous, weighing a pound (750 grams)! The day before the trip, you'll receive an email with the meeting time and guide's name; arriving 10 minutes early is usually sufficient.

Reviews: Rila Monastery and Boyana Church Full-Day Tour

Overall, it was a good trip. However, Trip.com mentioned it was a day trip to Rila Monastery and Boyana Cathedral, but when we arrived at the meeting point, the local guide told us it was only Rila Monastery. Nevertheless, the overall experience was still worthwhile.

Customer service was able to contact us in advance, and the day trip that included two classic attractions was excellent. The itinerary was well-planned, and the tour guide was enthusiastic, professional, and provided thorough explanations throughout.

Very good guide. Highly experienced and knowledgeable. She was always explaining us about sights, sites, even things nice like stork' nests on the chimneys of the countryside houses. Always very kind with my mum, wife and me. A really wonderful experience you can have.

We really enjoyed our day trip to visit Boyana Church and Rila Monastery. Boyana Church is really small, but it is interesting to see the layers of painting inside the church. Plus, the setting is very pretty. Rila Monastery is a can't miss site in Bulgaria. The setting is stunning as is the painted church. Both the interior and exterior are covered in paintings. We also stopped for a very nice lunch- overall it was the perfect way to spend a day.
