Plovdiv Small Group Full Day Guided Tour from Sofia
Y5301UBso, Sep 2026
Highly recommended transfer service
Had two long-distance shuttle services with Traventuria between Sofia and Bansko. Very helpful service contact prior to booking and easy booking through their online form. Received email & text message with final details and driver contacts the day before the journeys. Pick-up was very timely and the drivers drove very safely and responsible in both cases.

A great chance to experience the countryside outside Sofia
Alex was a great guide. He explained the day's activities at the start of trip. At Rila Monastery we were able to sample a typical Bulgarian breakfast snack and drink some spring water. This tour will give you a good understanding of Bulgarian people and their history as well as taking you to some interesting places and seeing some lovely scenery.

I had the chance of having this tour led by Dimiter and I don’t regret it! It was incredible insightful, going through thousands years of history each thomb being different, it highlights a different story. The guide was great, always looking for you, with a sense of humor which caught me by surprise a few times.

An excellent day trip to Nis!
We were picked up on time and spent an excellent day seeing Nis. Our guide, Georgi, was excellent, providing background and insight into all that we saw. He kept us on time but we were never rushed, spending as much or as little time as we wanted at each site. A great day!

Expect a long day, especially in hot summer months and lots of walking, ascending/ descending stone steps, but worth it. The tour guide was very knowledgeable.

A Bit Of History Outside of Sofia
I really wanted to see Rila Monastery but didn’t have a car. The tour guide drove us is a mini-van and took us to the Monastery. When we got there he gave us a short history lesson and took us to the restaurant to try some local cuisine. Then you have about 45 minutes to take photos. It would have been nice to have more time to take photos as the drive is about 2 hours. However it is a half day.

Great tour
We had a wonderful tour with our guide Ivaylo! He was incredibly knowledgeable and well prepared, and you can really tell how passionate he is about his country. I especially appreciated how honest he was: he talked openly about both the positive and negative sides of Bulgaria, which made the tour truly authentic. We saw a lot of the city, but the tour never felt boring or tiring, it was enjoyable from beginning to end. We learned so much while having a genuinely great time. A fantastic experience overall. Highly recommended!
