Travelling alone, as a family or in a group? We have sedans, minivans for up to 6 passengers and minibuses for up to 8, so everyone and their luggage travel in one vehicle. The driver is at the address 10 minutes early, and waiting for a delayed flight is free.

Sofia to Kazanlak and the Valley of the Roses
Kazanlak lies about 235 km from Sofia in the Rose Valley, between the Balkan mountains and Sredna Gora. There are two ways to get there: the Sub-Balkan road through Pirdop, Karlovo and Kalofer, or the Trakia motorway east and then north through Stara Zagora. The driver picks the one that is faster on the day, depending on traffic and the weather on the mountain road. Plan on about 3 h 15 min.
In Kazanlak we stop at your hotel or address, in the centre near the Rose Museum, at the Tyulbeto park with the Thracian tomb, or at a business in the industrial area. If you want to see the Shipka Memorial or the Buzludzha monument on the way up into the Balkan mountains, ask when you book and we tell you the price with the extra stop.
The sedan for up to 4 passengers and 2 large suitcases is from 160 €, the MPV 6+1 with up to 4 large suitcases from 200 € and the minibus for up to 8 passengers from 250 €. The price is for the whole car and includes fuel and tolls. Early June, when the rose harvest and the Rose Festival take place, is the busiest time on this route, so book a few days ahead.
