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: 1-day tour to Boyana church + Rila monastery in Bulgaria (available for solo travelers, admission ticket not included)

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.

What a perfect private tour of Rila monastery and Boyana church. This was just a tour with 2 people and the guide. The guide was really relaxed and made the trip about us and what we wanted to see. This made us feel relaxed and made it more a conversation that just a typical tour. We went for lunch at this perfect ‘non tourist’ spot by the river which was a highlight of the day also. All round, I’d recommend this to anyone wanting a great day exploring while it not feeling touristy.

Reviews: From Sofia Rila Monastery with Boyana Church or St. Ivan's Cave
Guest User2026-07-22
The tour started on time and was very fulfilling. We were also lucky enough to enter Boyana Church. I had booked an English audio guide for the tour, but the guide explained everything so well that I didn't need to use it and was able to fully enjoy the experience. We arrived back in Sofia around 6 PM.

Reviews: Rila Monastery and Boyana Church Full-Day Tour
Guest User2026-09-20
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.

The trip to the monastery and spa was very well-planned and there were 2 stops near the monastery before and after the tour. Our guide Georgi was really friendly, welcoming and gave a really informative and interesting tour in the Rila Monastery. The tour was also possible with audio guide in different languages. Really loved the little bakery near the monastery, definitely recommend to try the mekitsi. The spa was also very nice and relaxing, keep in mind to bring your own slippers and the ticket to the spa is only in cash. The group of 10, who we were travelling with, was really fun and friendly.
