Enjoy a private guided tour from Veliko Tarnovo (up to 4 persons) and discover a unique blend of naval history, traditional craftsmanship, and ancient heritage in the Bulgarian Black Sea region.

Your journey begins at the Slava Submarine Museum, home to Bulgaria’s only preserved submarine. Step inside this impressive Cold War–era vessel and explore its narrow corridors, control rooms, and living quarters. With your private guide, gain insight into the daily life of submariners and the role of the Bulgarian Navy during the 20th century.

Next, continue to the Glass Museum, where you can observe skilled artisans demonstrating traditional glassblowing techniques. Watch how delicate glass objects are shaped from molten material, explore exhibitions of handcrafted pieces, and, if you wish, purchase unique souvenirs created on site.

During the summer season, you may also visit the Provadia Saltworks, one of the oldest salt production centres in Europe. This remarkable archaeological site dates back thousands of years and reveals how salt once played a vital role in the development of early civilizations, often valued even more than gold.

Throughout the day, enjoy scenic countryside views and a comfortable pace, with time for photos, exploration, and relaxation. This private tour offers flexibility, personal attention, and a rich combination of military history, artisan tradition, and ancient archaeology, creating a truly memorable experience.
