We were greeted by a friendly guy at the meeting point but was surprise for a 10hrs tour, we were travelling with a taxi. A taxi for 5 people! Not that there is anything wrong for a taxi, but for the price we paid we expect the car will be at least slighty bigger, coz one of our guy are pretty tall. And the taxi is really quite cramp for such long journey. The guide Abi at Plovdiv is very knowledgeable but as we took the 3hrs drive to Rila Monastery turns out our taxi driver is the guide and he used less than 1min to tell us the history of the monastery which practically we can find the information from Wikipedia. Do think the trip worth that much when there is so few to offer. But do have to mention the taxi driver for the day we have is a brilliant driver with a cold sense of humour

I thing that is better that first visited the Rila Monastery and after Plovdiv, because in Rila there're diferents things museum, monastery, rooms, and Plovdiv there're more things but the visit is for the street.

Rila monastery is just sublime and is a must see on any trip to Sofia. This trip also involved a visit to Plovdiv and attendance at a 'free' walking tour run locally. This was fine and the guide was great, BUT the highlight of Plovdiv is the Roman Theater (its why i went), but this wasn't included, you had to pay extra for this. Loads of very tiring driving, our car driver was very fast, BUT very safe. The timing worked out fantastically well and when we arrived at Rila (after 17.00) it was pretty much empty. If we had arrived much earlier it would have been knee deep in tourists (like us!). We visited in may so had loads of good light to photograph the monastery. Not sure how this would work in Winter when it gets dark earlier. All in a really good visit.

Our driver/guide Tony was friendly, spoke great English and explained what he knew of the Monastery really well, before leaving us time for photos and getting us to Plovdiv in time for a walking tour that we really enjoyed. The car was comfortable and modern,which was good as it requires around 4 to 5 hours in the car on some fairly ropey roads. Would recommend to travellers who don't mind a bit of driving to get lots done in a single day, perhaps not to those looking to take things a bit more slowly. Thanks!
