Great day trip to Plovdiv! Our guide was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Good mix of guided tour and free time to eat and explore on your own. Definitely would recommend for anyone with limited time that would like to see Plovdiv but cant stay for a few days.

Guide was very informative and pleasant. Was a small group of about 10 people. Saw old and new Plovdiv. Plovdiv tour was about 2hrs. Then we had about 2hrs of free time to explore on our own. Left Sofia at 9am and returned by 4pm. Overall, a very good tour.

Nice trip. Small group. Guide tour tells us about a lot of interesting facts. A good mix of walking of the cityband free time to eat and look around by ourselves. Worth it.
