Rila Monastery is absolutely amazing! Our guide was very good. The weather was not so favorable but overall it was still a very good trip.

Plovdiv, the oldest city in Europe, was amazing. The theatre was incredible, the weather fantastic and the whole atmospheric really enjoyable. Koprivshtitsa was not as nice to us as Plovdiv - because it was raining - but the history is important and at the end, I was happy that I have seen this place too. Peter, was a very careful driver, because of him, a rabbit was saved. ❤️ I felt very safe and I'd like to thank him also in the name of the rabbit. Maria was a funny, friendly and nice tour guide with a lot of knowledge, she made the tour very special and had a calming aura around her, what I really liked. Definitely a tour that I recommend.

Great tour! Well organized and informative. I wish we had more time in Plovdiv though. That city itself is a gem! If you are looking to see as much as you can, this tour is a great find. If you want to really explore Plovdiv, just book a day tour to Plovdiv. I felt like I ran through the city and only saw a small part of it. The tour guide was great. If you have a choice though, avoid the 3rd row. You can barely hear the tour guide, especially on highways. Overall, great experience.

Three friends took the tours and yes, as expected we had a very nice day. It was interesting to see the old part or ancient part of the city, our guide did an excellent job of telling of telling us about the meaning and history of many of the places. I considered a good timing given that in one day we also were able to cover Koprivshtitsa ( a name so hard to pronounce specially for those from other continents like us (Ecuador, S.A.) this, despite the tremendous effort our guide Martin, made so we could pronounce it. I highly recommend this tour and Guide. Martha
