Perfect as an orientation and good value for money
The tour covered all the main areas and allowed time for entry into the churches and finished just on time for the change of guards! Audio guides made sure you heard everything and having the guide lead you with occasional comments and guiding ensured it all went smoothly!

A must-see
Plovdiv is definitely a must-see, plus with a guide like Martin it was very pleasant and interesting. He is knowledgeable and nice. In the afternoon, however, we changed guides to reach the second destination and she was not as knowledgeable or nice.

Bulgarian Rose Aromatic Experience

An essential experience in Bulgaria
Super pleasant and highly recommended experience. The staff is charming, and to our surprise, we were able to do it in Spanish thanks to Nia, who speaks it very well. We tried a selection of cosmetic and food products made with roses, while they explained their history and tradition in a very interesting way. They are honest and do not pressure you to sell you anything. Without a doubt, an experience that is very worth doing in Bulgaria and that should be better known.

History bulgarian lesson through yogurt!
Really nice. One of the boys has a history degree and he explains and gives you a resumé of bulgarian history through yogurt history. Also about the bulgarian traditions. It is a family business that deserves support...mom prepares the cupcakes (delicious) and the products (some homemade by her and others from local producers). Everything is good. Really nice and interasting. They are super polite, educated, well informed and funny.

Wonderful Adventure with Friends
This tour gave us a much better understanding of the history and culture of both countries. We loved that it wasn't just about checking off famous landmarks, the guide also shared local stories and recommended places to try traditional food.The pace was comfortable, the accommodations were good, and the scenery along the drive was beautiful. Looking back, it was one of the most enjoyable trips we've taken in Europe.

From the first day to the last, everything was handled professionally. Transportation was comfortable, the hotels were well chosen, and the itinerary included a great mix of famous attractions and quieter places.We especially appreciated having enough time to enjoy each stop instead of feeling rushed. If you're considering exploring Romania and Bulgaria, this tour is an excellent choice and offers a wonderful balance of history, scenery, and local culture.
