Excursion to Plodiv in Spanish - We booked an excursion to Plodiv in Spanish and the experience has been very good.
Although the experience could be extended a little longer to walk through the city's pedestrian street.

Beautiful, historical Plovdiv. - What a lovely day spent in beautiful Plovdiv. Our guide, Simeon, was wonderful: kind and courteous, and a very careful driver. He was thoughtful to give us ideas of where to visit in the town after our guided tour and where to eat lunch. The architecture there is very historical and different. It was a nice relaxing day and would highly recommend.

Go to Plovdiv if you have time! - Relaxed but comprehensive day trip to Plovdiv from Sofia. Definitely worthy to go to Plovdiv, a city full of history. The guide went above and beyond recommending us a traditional bulgarian eatery were the locals go. I would recommend anyone taking this tour.
