Worth the Extra Spend of a Private tour to experience the wonderful Plovdiv - We had a wonderful experience. Guide was very friendly and took very good care of us espically the children. He kept us all engaged. He was very considerate to our requests. Definitely worth spending the extra money for a private tour.

Summer in Plovdiv - Plovdiv is a fascinating place and Poli is an excellent guide (and driver). The tour duration was just about perfect. Poli did a good job helping us manage the heat on the hills of Plovdiv.

Highly recommend - We had a great day in Plovdiv. Our driver/guide was excellent. He gave an informative introduction to the city & its history exactly to our request. With this information we then enjoyed free time exploring at our leisure. His driving was excellent. A beautiful city and tour.

Awesome day trip to Plovdiv - My wife and I, from Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA, spent this summer visiting the beautiful Balkan countries, checking off a significant item from our bucket list. Our final destination was Sofia, Bulgaria, where we embarked on a day tour to the ancient town of Plovdiv. Jordan, our tour guide, greeted us outside our hotel with a big smile and a towering presence, standing over 6 feet tall, making him hard to miss. Throughout the tour, Jordan’s extensive knowledge of history and local details greatly enriched our experience. His passion for the region’s culture and history was evident in every story he shared. We highly recommend taking a tour with Jordan for anyone looking to explore this remarkable area.

I think there are better alternatives - This excursion was an experience that did not meet our expectations. Despite meeting the requirements to have a guided tour in Spanish (there were more than 4 people), we were not offered the possibility. We were left in Plovdiv with an audio guide (if it can be considered as such, because my mother) and told that we had 3 hours to visit the whole city and eat. This meant picking us up at 14:30 when really the time I put in the tour description was 15:00. Commenting on it, he told us that they had moved up the time to avoid city traffic, which they could have explained earlier and given us a choice (in the end, there was not much traffic and we arrived in Sofia at 17:00 as planned). In the end, seeing that in that time we would not give ourselves time with the "audio guide" to discover Plovdiv, we coupled to the tour in English (which were only 4 people). The English tour was lousy. The guide gave little historical explanation, did not transmit the information or seem to show interest in the city or what he was telling us. We didn’t know anything and in the end we left Plovdiv without knowing her. I feel sorry because this city looked very good, with many curiosities and history, but our tour could not teach it well.
