"I cannot recommend this tour enough. We had a scheduling conflict as the agency was fully booked, but they went above and beyond to make sure we didn't miss Plovdiv. Our guide, Josif Barsanov, was absolutely incredible. Even though it was his day off, he stepped in to take us. His English is excellent, and he is deeply knowledgeable and attentive."

"Great experience with a friendly, knowledgeable guide (Tuni), small group (6 guests), comfortable transportation and convenient hotel pickup/drop off. Tuni ensured we had a hassle-free experience at the border crossing and comfort stops along the way to/from."

"Fabulous day trip from Sofia — scenic vistas of the countryside, beautiful cascading waterfalls, stunning caves, a historic fortress, a walk across the only remaining covered bridge in the Balkans, and free time for lunch in a local restaurant."

"The day started off with a hotel pick up. The tour was intimate with 5 people. Theodore was extremely informative. Full day experience. You cannot come to Bulgaria and not visit Plovdiv! Highly recommend this tour."
