    Your private guide will pick you up from your hotel or your address in Sofia at 10:30 in the morning. From there, enjoy a comfortable journey to the Zemen Monastery, located about 70 km southwest of Sofia. The traveling time to Zemen Monastery will be around 1 hour and 30 minutes, and your stay there will be an additional 1 hour.
