The excursion to Koprivshtica occurred on a beautiful late summer day in September. The driver was fantastic and was able to converse with me in excellent English. The village is charming, with unique architectural sites to visit and some shopping as well. A beautiful drive into the Balkan Mountains!

This trip was at the end of our stay in Sofia so we were a bit over the whole thing. We were ready to go home BUT the driver/tour guide (Ivan) was so nice and so engaging he immediately got us interested. His knowlede of the history of the area was very impressive. We really enjoyed the stories of the rebels and secret strategies employed to defend their lands. We then went to the neolitic village and although it is a very small site, it was very moving. It has been reconstructed with love and the artfacts well preserved. You can even book to stay in one of the reconstructed neolithic hutts.
