    Full description
    Plovdiv, the second biggest city in Bulgaria, is considered to be one of the oldest settlements in Europe, with more than 7000 years of history. Plovdiv is situated on the crossroads between the West and the East, amid the fertile plain of Thrace, where history and modernity go hand in hand. See how culture and art have always thrived in this city as you explore a vivid medley of shapes, styles, and colors. The city is home to the fabulous remains of the Ancient Roman Empire – the Roman Stadium, the Roman Forum, and the Amphitheatre. During your time in the city, you can discover the Old Town of Plovdiv, situated on the three hills of the ancient Trimontium.

    It's a wonderful experience! Our guide, Maria, told us everything there is to know about this beautiful city. In addition, Maria is teeming with knowledge not only about Plovdiv but also about Sofia and Bulgaria in general. She is a very nice and approachable person and will be happy to answer all questions. We rode with an extremely comfortable car, visited the old town, the main street and ended up having free time for lunch, coffee and other. I definitely recommend if you have extra time in Sofia

    We had a great day out with Ilia our driver/guide. Ilia was punctual, courteous, spoke English fluently, very knowledgeable & shared his country’s history with passion. He was very flexible with time, allowing us to nominate how much free time we had after our guided tour of Plovdiv. It was a perfect day out. Highly recommended by all in our group.

    Lachezar was a wonderful guide! It was a small group tour where he showed us around the lovely old town area of Plovdiv. He clearly knows his history of the area and Bulgaria in general. I truly appreciated him getting to know each of us and our interests to make the trip more special. I would highly recommend this tour - especially if you have the chance to have Lachezar as your guide...his humor, story telling, and genuine charming personality will surely win you over!
