Plovdiv Small Group Full Day Guided Tour from Sofia

A Must-do Trip in Bulgaria
I can only recommend this tour. Plovdiv was a very charming city with many beautiful historic buildings. The K-place as it was called because of its harder pronounciation was also lovely. We were able to visit a merchants house whoch was both beautiful and interesting. The was a small entrance fee of 2,5 Euro per Person, but it was not mandatory to visit the house. There were also many interesting anecdotes by our guide Martin. I would recommend booking a guided tour, since you just get to know the places in a different way. I would have like a bit more time in Plovdiv, but I also loved the K-place, so I think this tour was the best compromis. The bus arrived in Sofia on time, as well. And pick up was on time. So all in all a great trip.
