Culture, beer, fun, and ZELE!!! - I really enjoyed this tour. I learned so much about Bulgarian history and culture, while enjoying some great beers!!! I would highly recommend this tour to any beer lover who would also like to get to know Bulgaria and/or Plovdiv specifically. Walking wasn't strenuous and this is coming from someone with two torn knees but it is a walking tour so wear comfortable shoes. My tour guide was so helpful, kind, and knowledgeable. I am most definitely going to book this tour again when I come back to the area. P.S. When trying a beer from Pelta Brewing, I recommend Donkey Hot a triple fruited gose. Very tasty and refreshing. Donkey Hot has a cute cartoon label. Also Donkey Hot is a play on words of hot ass, not sure why that went over my head at the time. Probably because I was a few beers in :)

Great Plovdiv day trip - Highly recommended tour when in Sofia. Main focus is on history of Sofia and Plovdiv. I got an excellent overview of Bulgaria from pre historic times to today. The tour of the different parts of Plovdiv was very comprehensive. In addition to history, a great stop at one of the best breweries in Bulgaria, including a personal tour and tasting. If looking for a fun way to see Plovdiv, this was perfect!! Mato specifically was fantastic, answered all my questions from modern day pop culture to ancient day Thracia.
