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.

We had a wonderful half-day tour to the Rila monastery with our guide Slavyan. He was very friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole tour really interesting. He shared lots of interesting facts about the history and culture and was happy to answer all of our questions. Everything was well organized.We really enjoyed the tour and would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Sofia. Thank you, Slavyan, for a great experience!

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!

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!
