★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 24 reviews · 5 to 7 hours (approx.) · from $138Our pick

Ride for hours through forests to Glozhen Monastery from Sofia. Hotel pickup, saddled horses, helmets, and guided time for views.

“We were not supplied with riding helmets and even after asking for them were given only one (so one of us had no helmet). The horses were not well taken care of (dirty and tangled hair) and one of them had a limp. The trail was not easy for the horses (rocks and muddy)... The views were beautiful and the guide Gekko did his best to give us a pleasant experience.”
