Plovdiv Old Town
The cliche "you must see Plovdiv to see Bulgaria" is absolutely true and there is so much to explore in the country's second largest town. Plovdiv is about 1,5 hours’ drive from Sofia and is situated in the western part of the Thracian Valley. It is one of the oldest settlements in the world, having emerged on the three adjacent hills – the beginning of its history dates back to 4,000 years BC. It has preserved Thracian, Roman and Bulgarian heritage from different epochs. There will be a 1,5-hour walking tour in the heart of the town and you will learn lots of historical facts and legends while exploring its most interesting sightseeing places. You will see the Roman Theater and parts of the Roman Stadium. Walk through the longest pedestrian street in Europe. Explore the magnificent Revival old town with its unique colorful houses from the 19th century. See the recently uncovered early Christian mosaics dating back to the 4th century! Since this year Plovdiv is the European capital of culture, you may be able to see some of the undergoing events as well! They will be in all different aspects such as exebitions, concerts, art permormances, street parades and many others. You can write us your date of traveling and we will inform you what events will be held during that period and can be included in the day trip. On requesrt, we can organize you a multiday trip to Plovdiv with an overnight stay as well!

5.00had the absolute pleasure of joining a private day tour with Dhiraj, and I truly cannot recommend him highly enough! From the very beginning, one finds oneself impressed by his deep knowledge of Bulgarian history, culture, and traditions. With every place visited, one finds oneself drawn in by his engaging storytelling and detailed historical background. Whether wandering through ancient ruins or the vibrant streets of Plovdiv, one learns so much thanks to Dhiraj’s thoughtful explanations. One really feels taken care of throughout the tour – Dhiraj goes above and beyond to ensure that the experience is comfortable, personal, and unforgettable. If one is looking for a guide who is knowledgeable, passionate, and genuinely committed to sharing the beauty of Bulgaria, then Dhiraj is the perfect choice.
Good sightseeing but ride was uncomfortable and guide in English was difficult to understand.

3.00The sites visited on this tour are actually great. I would recommend this tour for that reason alone. What our group was a disappointed about was the quality of transportation used and the English fluency of our driver/guide. Our driver/guide was 15 minutes late for pick up which worried us. He drove a van owned by City Tour Ltd, the agency in Sofia that organized the tour. The van’s door initially wouldn’t open. And then, the air vents would blow heat but not cool air and the guide couldn’t fix it. The van was also a very uncomfortable ride, as if it had no shock absorbers. As for our guide/driver, he looked like he had just jumped out of bed to pick us up and his English was difficult to understand. We probably could catch only half of what he was saying. We know he tried to do his best but we felt it just wasn't good enough.
Perfect daytrip to Plovdiv and Asen's fortress

5.00This was a wonderfule experience! Alex has a PhD in History and our drive to Plovdiv was filled with information about the past and recent history of the area we were driving thru,as well as introduction to various musical influences different cultures left over the centuries. Both Fortress and especially Plovdiv are definitely worth the visit and having Alex as a tour guide certainly elevated the experience. This was the only day trip I had the time fore during my visit and I would strongly recommend it. At the end of the day, before heading back, try baklava and coffee (or tea) in a turkish coffee/tea shop by the mosque.

5.00This was an amazing trip that we will never forget. Our guide Vaisl was brilliant and very knowledgeable and gave us so much information on the whole history of Bulgaria. Asen's fortress is really cool and looked great in the snow. Plovdiv is an experience and the Roman ruins everywhere would make you think you were in Italy. We also felt privileged to visit the Church of St Helena and St Constantine in Plovdiv which was the site where 27 people were martyred by the Romans. A very special place. If you have time for only one trip from Sofia then do this one and do it with citytours, they are excellent. Eoghan & Juanita, Ireland
