Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: St. Alexander Nevski Cathedral, Aleksander Nevski Square, Sofia Bulgaria

Your day trip starts at 9:00 am from the parking lot behind the majestic Alexander Nevski Cathedral in central Sofia. You will board a comfy, air-conditioned minibus and head for a 2-hour drive on the motorway to Plovdiv. This is the time that you will learn from your guide more about Bulgarian history, culture, economy and nature.

Duration: 15 minutes

Stop At: Plovdiv Old Town, Plovdiv 4000 Bulgaria

As one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, cosmopolitan Plovdiv is packed with fascinating Thracian, Roman, Slav, Turkish and Bulgarian history. With your guide, enjoy a 2.5-hour walking tour on the cobbled narrow paths in the Old Town of Plovdiv. Explore and learn about all its major highlights including the finest examples of Bulgarian Rennaissance town architecture, the spectacular 2nd-century Ancient Theater, the Roman Stadium, Plovdiv's Ethnographic Museum and much more.

Duration: 3 hours

Stop At: Plovdiv Old Town, Plovdiv 4000 Bulgaria

After the guided tour of the Old Town, you will have about an hour and a half to further independently explore the attractions of the city centre. You can have lunch (own expense) or go shopping on "Glavnata"- the longest pedestrian in Europe. You can get entertained by some of the artistic events organized in the heart of the city while Plovdiv is celebrating its nomination as the European Capital of Culture for 2019. A lot of tourists choose to wander in the Kapana neighbourhood - a place with a bohemian vibe, chic bars and beautiful graffiti. The region of Plovdiv is famous for its wine production and in Kapana you will find options to sample some of the local red or white wines.

Duration: 2 hours

Stop At: St. Alexander Nevski Cathedral, Aleksander Nevski Square, Sofia Bulgaria

After you have immersed in the unique atmosphere of Plovdiv, sit back and relax on your 2-hour transfer back to Sofia's Alexander Nevski Cathedral.

Good trip, guide was very helpful, funny and knowledgeable. He was a good driver, parking could have been better planned but otherwise it was all well executed.

Nice tour. Plovdiv is worth the visit if you are in Sofia, and this trip came at a very interesting price. The guide did a good job, unfortunately his English was acceptable but not great, and in the back of the van we could not hear all he said. A bit more free time in Plovdiv would have been nice : the total tour duration was announced as 9 hours, but in the end we were back in Sofia after less than 8. Still : to be recommended !

Excellent tour of the oldest city in Bulgaria. But remember to wear sturdy walking shoes as the entire historic center is uneven cobblestone streets
