Fantastic Day Trip - Excellent day trip to explore more of Bulgaria outside of Sofia. Ventsislav was an amazing guide and made sure we had the best time. The monastery and Plovdiv are amazing and shouldn’t be missed while you are in Sofia

The best of the Plovdiv region - Our guide was super knowledgeable about the history in the area. Very friendly and knew the right time to make bathroom and restaurant recommendations.

Relaxing informative tour - I was very surprised to find I was the only on this tour. Upon meeting Ventsislav for the first time, I felt completely at ease with him. He gave just the right amount of information and was very good company. He is also very mindful with his help as I am disabled. Multi Travel Bulgaria provides an excellent traveller experience. Thank you Vent Regards Jess

Wonderful day! - I couldn’t be more happy about this trip. Got to enjoy a little exercise at the fortress, lovely architecture at the monastery, and some history, shopping and eating in Plovdiv. All with such a friendly, personable and accommodating guide. So glad I went on this tour!
