Devetashka Cave
Your day of adventure begins with a morning pick-up from your Sofia hotel before we embark on a scenic two-and-a-half-hour drive to our first stop: the spectacular Devetaki Cave. This massive, naturally lit cavern has a fascinating history. Home to prehistoric humans, it later served as a natural Roman food refrigerator and a secret Cold War military base. Movie fans might also recognize its grand arches from the Hollywood blockbuster The Expendables 2.

Krushunskiye Waterfalls
Next, we visit the ethereal Krushuna Waterfalls, Bulgaria’s largest travertine cascade. Famous for its emerald-blue pools and lush forest setting, the falls are breathtaking year-round. Even in the summer when water levels naturally drop, the vibrant, mossy rock terraces remain a beautiful sight.

Great day Trip from Sofia
My 16-year old son and I had a wonderful day trip to Lovech and the caves! Though Lovech was a bit sleepy on the day we were there, we actually embraced that it was not crowded. We walked through the Old Town up to the fort, had lunch in the main square and browsed the small shops. The caves were absolutely stunning and made for beautiful photo opportunities. It gave us a feeling of what smaller Bulgarian towns are like. Our guide was great and gave us lots of information! We actually got lucky because a third cave ended up being part of our itinerary as well! Thank you so much!

Nice small tour
Wonderful scenery at the cave and waterfall. Lovely city of Lovech. Only pity is that most of the internal sections of the cave are closed due to the breeding season of thousands of bats living there.

Stunning Caves and Waterfalls
This tour was amazing. We even got to stop by the God's Eyes cave since a few people didn't show up and we had a smaller group. The caves and water falls were absolutely stunning, and the town of Loevech has a beautiful viewpoint and some very medieval feeling streets which was very cool. Our guide Lubo was very knowledgeable and flexible, he let us hangout at sites as long as we wanted so we could take extra pictures. I highly recommend this tour.

Why this scores 79
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Tour to Lovech, Devetaki cave & Krushuna waterfalls: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sofia.
How much does Tour to Lovech, Devetaki cave & Krushuna waterfalls cost?
+
Prices start at $112 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sofia usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Tour to Lovech, Devetaki cave & Krushuna waterfalls take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sofia is not rushed.
Is Tour to Lovech, Devetaki cave & Krushuna waterfalls worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 174 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sofia, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Tour to Lovech, Devetaki cave & Krushuna waterfalls?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Tour to Lovech, Devetaki cave & Krushuna waterfalls suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Tour to Lovech, Devetaki cave & Krushuna waterfalls?
+
Around 61 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sofia can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sofia and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tour to Lovech, Devetaki cave & Krushuna waterfalls start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sofia within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Sofia?
+
On Outty we rank every Sofia experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Communist Walking Tour of Sofia, Sofia Highlights 2 Hour Sightseeing Walking Tour, Sofia Escape Room - Teorema Rooms. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Sofia?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Sofia?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
