Interesting and varied walking tour - This was a very interesting and varied walking tour with Dimitari as Marietta was unable to attend. Dimitari was excellent, he spoke English very well, had so much knowledge, not only about the history of Plovdiv but also about the current culture, life in Plovdiv and Bulgaria, and was so considerate to us being from the opposite side of the world. He was also very considerate about the hot temperature of the day and made sure we were kept in the shade and comfortable. This was an excellent, personal and professional tour that we thoroughly enjoyed and would recommend to anyone visiting Plovdiv.
