Our philosophy is that traveling without experience is a waste of time and money. This is why we make only small group tours or private ones. We guarantee departure even for single travelers. Our itineraries are carefully prepared and are always including something that is not that well known. Our guides are highly educated in history and archaeology and are perfectly prepared to provide this knowledge to our customers in the best possible and pleasant way. We provide regular day tours, multiday tours, motorcycle adventures, bicycle trips, MTB experiences, and MTB rent.

Amazing 6 day tour around Bulgaria with Ivo as our guide. He was extremely knowledgeable, reliable and open to any change we had to make. He recommended us so many nice places we didn’t think ok and I am really grateful for that.
Regarding Bultrips itself, contact was smooth and easy, accommodating and very responsive. Adrian was available at any time 🙏

We rented 4 motorbikes for 7 days through BulTrips to do a Bulgarian Autumn road trip. Luck was on our side from the time we reach out to BulTrips, all through the trip. We had fantastic warm weather and no traffic blocking us and that was during mid October. Adrian and Daniel from BulTrips were helpful beyond expectations. They answered our endless questions promptly and gave us best conditions we could wish for. For them the most important thing was our comfort and satisfaction. We all will remember this trip and definitely will come again, as there was so much more to see and experience in Bulgaria.
Selection of motorbikes was good. We all quickly fell in love with one or another. Side effect of this is that we all want to buy BMWs now that we are back from the trip 😄

We travelled to Skopje from Sophia on Jan. 16th. Our driver, Assen and our guides, Meto and Mikael, were excellent hosts. Bulgarian Meto and Macedonian Mickeal were proud and knowledgeable ambassadors for their respective countries. It is a bit of a long drive but the scenery and sharing of information from Meto made the time go by quickly. We enjoyed our day and we highly recommend this tour.

While traveling in Bulgaria I thought that a day trip to North Macedonia might be a nice way to experience a little bit of the country. I had an early pick up at 7:30AM because my hotel was FAR, FAR from the center and we started our marathon day. I appreciated the communication from the beginning with the confirmation call to let me know when and where I would be picked up. My guide, Vesssy, was super punctual and friendly. She took us on a beautiful route to get to Macedonia which was very scenic and peaceful. I was really happy that I had not chosen to drive myself because I would have missed all of the scenery. The ride was longer than I expected but that just made me happier that I had chosen a tour! Vesssy was very attentive always asking everyone if they were OK and if they need to stop for snacks or bio-breaks. When we arrived in North Macedonia we met our guide Mike who took us on the walking tour of Skopje. He was super knowledgeable about the history and answered all of our crazy questions about the flag, the statues, the fort.... everything. One of the people on the tour had booked a supplemental part of the tour .... an excursion to Matka. Mike gave us the option to join her.... I was so glad that I did!! It was absolutely beautiful! If you are taking the time to come all the way to North Macedonia don't miss the canyon or a visit to Vrelo cave!! It was beautiful and peaceful. Our tour ended up being more like a 15 hour tour... all at the same price! Great day!

Really enjoyed this as a group of four, of different ages.
Adrian, our Bulgarian guide was punctual and very friendly. His knowledge of Balkan history was superb as is his general knowledge on current affairs. Chatting to him made the lengthy journey fly by.
The trip passes through rural country of both nations and offers a glimpse of the way of life out of the cities.
Being stopped by the Macedonian police, for a roadside check, added to the day.
Mike, our guide in Skopje was also fantastic. Huge knowledge and a very engaging manner, explained the city and the history of the nation very well. Again could have spent a lot more time in his company.
Follow his recommendation for lunch in the courtyard restaurant (Kapan an)
As an aside both were excellent English speakers. Thank you both.

Here is a little guide for anyone considering this great tour.

First of all i was a little apprehensive about going as i just heard they were tension in kosovo but the tour operator said not to worry and the v knowledgable Goce later explained its nothing to worry about.

For the first part of the trip i was picked up at my door (7.45 ish) in a mini van bringing everyone to skopje, A nice trip with stops and boarder check, we were in skopje for 11 local time, we then had a two hour tour of skopje, even tho the guide normally does the slavic tours. his english was v good and gave us all a great tour. .its an amazing city.

I was then taken to my driver Goce for the next part of the tour. We arrived in Pristina about 90 minutes later (boarder check and all) Goce explained all the sites and we sat for a coffee break, its small but nice, onwards to Prizren and during our drive ,I got a history lesson from the unbelieveably knowledgeable Goce. .We toured Prizren for the evening, had local food and rested. it was great having someone to communicate for you.and look out for you.
the Following day we took the really scenic route back to skopje Goce was great at showing all the local areas and a pleasure to have guide me around.
the return trip was very relaxed and i was brought straight back to my door for around 8pm, ,Thanks again bultrips for putting together a great multi city tour, .
There is no way of doing this yourself in that timeframe or having the quality this trip entails. also dont worry about macadonian denar,, they accept euro,

I was staying in Sofia but wanted to add Kosovo to my travel plans. I didn’t want to navigate bus routes and deal with the border crossings alone so this option worked well. Bulgarian driver Nik picked me up at my hotel and brought me and 5 others who were only visiting North Macedonia for the day, to Skopje. I had been to Skopje briefly before but the tour was good despite rainy weather and Mikhail the Macedonian tour guide was very engaging and we tried various food and drink as well as seeing the sites. I broke away with another tour guide Rocky who took me to Pristina, Kosovo by car. He was extremely knowledgeable and professional. Prizren was the highlight and we toured some of the city at night and then had dinner. The hotel was in a great location and very good quality. Prizren is a very beautiful historic city. The next day we toured more of Prizren before returning to Skopje. Rocky was even able to arrange to have the Albanian League of Prizren Museum, which was closed that day, to be opened for me. He took me on another brief tour of some additional sites once in Skopje and we got an authentic Macedonian lunch. He was a wealth of knowledge. I joined another small group returning to Sofia from the North Macedonia tour. Tour was full service, door to door, and exceeded my expectations.

This is the tour for you if you want to get off the beaten path and explore something different. They offered transportation for my crew and I to and from our hotel for the entire day! We enjoyed the caves the most. The history that it possesses. There is a stop along the way to a restaurant that will fill your belly and have you looking for the food you are everyday! My friends and I enjoyed ourselves.

We did 2 day trips with BulTrips - one to Nis and one to Skopje. We visited Nis first and was glad we did our trips in this order. We are so glad we did the trip to Nis, the sites are very interesting and such important history. I wish I could remember our guide's name, as he did a wonderful job of providing all the details - he was also our driver. We learned so much on our trip to Sofia with adding these 2 day trips. I would highly recommend a trip to other countries to see other sites. We had a fantastic lunch also in Nis in a restaurant recommended by our guide - we were given free time on our own also, which was very nice, never felt rushed.

We loved our trip to Skopje! It was great to see another country while staying in Sofia. Skopje is an amazing city and Mike (our guide in Skopje) was excellent in providing the history and facts - we really enjoyed our time with him. He did not rush the tour, answered all our questions and made our time in Skopje very fun! Adrian was a very safe driver and also provided information on Sofia and Bulgaria in general - was very happy to answer all our questions. It is a long drive, but it would highly recommend!
