Really like the trip, the guide had more patience than I would have ever in my life. Was a bit long but is worth it specially if you don’t have time to go to each stop individually.

Martin was very enthusiastic and the whole day was fascinating. There never seems to be enough time to see everything, but it's a great combination if you don't have much time in Bulgaria.

Great tour guide and itinerary

Published on Nov, 2024

The tour guide Martin was very engaging and fun, and took us on a detailed guided tour through both Plovdiv and Koprivshtitsa, providing lots of useful information. Driver was on time and safe. Plovdiv is stunning, with a great vibe and Roman ruins, and definitely worth a visit, and Koprivshtitsa is a small city in the mountains with a lot of history, that feels like going back in time a hundred years. Highly recommend this tour.

Great day , great guide !

Published on Nov, 2024

Great day , excellent guide Martin who is a very good driver ! Perfect day ! Beautiful cities.... and great discover during this day

Worthwhile tour if you have time to see more areas outside the city.

Published on Oct, 2024

Great day out. Worth exploring beyond the city to learn & enjoy. Guide & driver were good. Easy location for the meeting point in the morning even though it was still dark based on October season. Recommend if time is short to explore beyond the city.
