Interesting trip - Always wanted to visit Niš as I’ve been all over Serbia apart from this one city so it was great to be able to do a day trip from Bulgaria. The guide was great and very knowledgeable, especially about the history so I learned a lot. Thanks again!

Great day out to Serbia from Sofia. - From start to finish the whole day was really excellent. It was our last day in Bulgaria and we wanted to go and see Serbia. We were collected from our hotel by Dimo who was really great and looked after us all very well. We had a lovely vehicle with6 passengers and Dimo. The bus was spotless and really comfortable. We sat in 3rd row which was really roomy and plenty of headroom etc. The 2 hour drive was good with one comfort break about halfway. Our first stop was a former concentration camp which was very sad of course but very interesting. We then visited The Tower of Skulls which is literally that. Once again sad but interesting. Well worth the visits. We then went into Niš which is a fortress town on a large river. We had a quick look at the fortress and then around the town for a quick tour before being given free time to choose somewhere to eat lunch. A good choice of restaurants and street cafes and we had a decent lunch. Back to the Fortress over the bridge for a few souvenirs the back to meeting point for ride home. Similar journey on way back with one comfort stop. Throughout the day Dimo was very courteous and helpful especially to me as I needed help to get in and out of the vehicle, he was also great with his knowledge and history et All in all great trip with great driver and nice people. Would highly recommend Bultrips after our two days out with them 10/10

Interesting day trip to neighbouring Serbia! - A day trip to Nis in Serbia worthwhile! Excavations, skull tower, fort and sightseeing are interesting! The concentration camp reminds us Germans and other visitors of the Nazi era! Our guide did not put this tour at the end of the tour so that the mood of the group was not so stained!

Great tour - Very nice tour, Niš is an extremely interesting place with a lot of history, the tower of skulls was particularly striking. Our guide was very informative and happy to answer any questions we had! The summer residence of Constantine the Great was also a great stop and a personal highlight of the tour! I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone looking for a brief visit to Serbia.
