Our cultural tours are designed for discerning travellers with particular interest in culture, customs, traditions, historical monuments and beauty of nature. Bulgaria is a small country, rich on historical facts and events, accumulated during the last 7 000 years. Here is one of the curiosities, much to everybody's surprise, the oldest gold treasure of the world was found neither in Mesopotamia nor in Egypt, the native lands of the earliest known civilizations, - it was found in North-East Bulgaria, near the city of Varna. It dates as far back as more than 6 000 years.
Brill Travel tours provide authentic experience of the places you visit. We stop in hand-picked hotels and restaurants. Along with the “must see” tourist sites, we offer side-trips to pop-up markets and local theme festivals where locals frequent. Should you wish to attend a
Bulgarian folklore dance class, we know where to go, too. A home-hosted lunch or a wine-tasting session, Orthodox acapella concert in a mediaeval church or an Easter egg-painting demonstration, all this makes your travel experience unique and memorable.
