⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Top rated on TripAdvisor

Plovdiv is not just the venue for the International Trade Fair organized yearly. It is among the country’s largest cities, a place of cultural significance, with an international theater festival, a television festival, and a plethora of concerts and performances.

Bulgaria’s river with the greatest abundance of water, the Maritsa, serves as a natural divide that splits the city into two. In the distance are seen the hills of the Balkan Range, and farther south the Rhodope Mountains offer coolness and freshness in summer and a profusion of snow in winter.

Our Clients' Experience

I chose a tour from Plovdiv to Veliko Tarnovo, specifically to see the Buzludzha monument in the Balkan mountains. Marina was an excellent guide and very knowledgeable, which meant I got to see plenty of things that I would’ve otherwise driven straight past. I had an amazing time and would highly recommend this tour and company. Marina is a natural guide, and the scenery and attractions should not be missed by anyone.

Had a great day with Kiril exploring Plovdiv, Bachkovo Monastery and a local winery. He was informative, helpful and best of all funny. My friend and I had a great time. His recommendation for lunch was delicious. He is very passionate about his work. To him it’s not work, it’s fun. We even met his cat! I highly recommend “Private Guide Bulgaria”.

I was pressed for time and this tour was tailored made to suit my requirements. Kiril was very knowledgeable, has an excellent sense of humour, and went the extra mile to help me experience not only Plovdiv, but a little extra of Bulgaria.
He arrived on time, and had me safely back at my hotel in enough time to catch my flight back to South Africa.
