Perfect day - Our two guides: Victoria and niki, were wonderful, full of interesting information about Sofia and Bulgaria. We enjoyed a relaxed trip with them, visiting lovely Plovdiv. After that, we got an interesting explanation about a winery called Villa Justina. At the winery we had a very good meal accompanied by suitable wines and we are back happy at evening to Sofia.

A fabulous day in Bulgaria! - This was a great experience. Our tour guide picked us up on time, was very friendly and customer service oriented. She gave us a run down of what to expect. She was very knowledgeable and encouraged questions. The experience itself was outstanding. We enjoyed visiting Plovdiv and the wine tasting was incredible. I highly recommend this experience!

Latschezar Raymond Gudev of Group P... - <p>Latschezar Raymond Gudev of Group P Tours was excellent. He is well informed, well read and knows the history of Plovdiv, Thracia Valley, and Bulgaria. He is a natural teacher and I was a willing student. Awe inspiring views even with all the snow. We stopped for lunch at a local restaurant and had the best tasting hearty soup I've had in a long time. The wine tasting was a surprise to me. I didn't know Bulgaria produced such fine wines. Thoroughly enjoyed myself and have already referred people. Definitely worth the time and price.</p>

I would go back to Plovdiv on another day to do some shopping as there were many shops that had unique gifts.</p>

Lovely day - Niki was right on time and we were the only ones in the ‘group’ so had a private tour. The tour of Plovdiv was nice, but there was no lunch included like promised in the description. Niki seemed a bit shy, he knew a lot about the city but it didn’t always really come across. The wine tasting was nice, the girl (forgot her name) had a lot of knowledge about wine, her English was very nice and she joked with us. The wines were delicious, too bad we couldn’t take them home because we only have hand luggage. We had a lovely day and even though I think Plovdiv could easily be visited on your own, the wine tasting was a really nice extra.

The guide was kind and had a lot of knowledge and tried to make us satisfed with our tour. We enjoyed wine tasting a lot. We bought a red wine which we tasted and a sparkling wine that we didn't taste. The both of them were very good.</p>

Wonderful City and Delicious Wine; Subpar Tour - I emailed the day before to confirm time and pick up location as there was no communication from the company leading up to the day of the tour. I was told we would be picked up at 0800. After waking up early and waiting for 15 minutes, we called to find it was a “technical mistake.” Actual pick up time was 0900. We were told, "No problem, maximum of 20 minutes for the driver to arrive." 20 minutes came and went...no driver. The tour guide was extremely sweet and friendly, but fell asleep on the way to Plovdiv. Once the tour began, we realized our tour was combined with another two people that did not book the wine tasting portion of the tour. It is unclear if they ever paid for this or freeloaded. Our tour guide had some knowledge of Plovdiv, but it seemed superficial at best. The wine tasting was nice. However, the tour guide and person giving the tour from the winery lacked basic wine knowledge. The winery guide also spoke no English, so the information was translated, which made it difficult. Plovdiv is an amazing city, and one you can probably do on your own. The tour is not worth the price.
