Great experience, highly recommended - Great experience
Antonio was my guide and he explained to us in great detail each point we visited, he gave us tips for free time and was very attentive to the group, he speaks perfect English and Spanish but the tour was only in English
If you speak English it is not worth using the audio guide
And please follow the guide's instructions, be respectful

Lack of time to enjoy a nice visit - Nice place but very short visit after 2 hours bus trip and two more back to Sofia. We just spent less than 3 hour including a short and fast explanation around the most beautiful houses in the city. All of them can be visited but we had no time so we had to eat something fast in order to go back to the bus againg.
If you want to enjoy a nice visit to Plodvid, take a sandwich with you and run.

Very hilly, well preserved town - Very hilly town with large cobblestone streets, consider not going if you have difficulty walking. Town is well preserved, includes excavated amphitheater and colosseum and many homes from 1800s. Lots of shopping for locals. Not much shopping for tourists. Town includes a college of art and music. Worth the trip.
