Rejseplan
Ancient Plovdiv Architectural Reserve er et velbevaret kompleks, hvor i et relativt lille område besøgende kan tage ture gennem forskellige historiske aldre, se gamle bygninger tilpasset den moderne livsstil og føle byens ånd fra den bulgarske genoplivningsperiode. Den gamle bydel ligger, som det er kendt for, på en naturlig højde - de tre bakker (den nærliggende Dzhambaz Hill, Nebet Hill og Taksim Hill). Mange mennesker har beboet dette sted gennem århundrederne. Og alle af dem har efterladt spor af deres kulturer og også de forskellige navne, de gav til byen. Plovdiv er en af de ældste byer i Europa - den går tilbage til 4000 år f.Kr. Under antikken kom thracierne til bakken og opstillede en befæstet bosættelse, der blev erobret af Philip of Macedon i 2. århundrede f.Kr. Han gav en af de mange navne på byen - Philipopolis, og omringede den med tykke befæstningsvægge. Senere fik Thracianerne kontrol over byen, men efter en række kampe mistede de det til romerne i det 1. århundrede. En fæstning fra de thraciske tider er bevaret på selve topmødet i Nebet Hill.
Det romerske teater Plovdiv er en af verdens bedst bevarede gamle teatre, der ligger i centrum af Plovdiv, Bulgarien. Det blev bygget i 90'erne af det 1. århundrede e.Kr., sandsynligvis under kejsersdomitianens herskerfart. Teatret kan være mellem 5000 og 7000 tilskuere, og det er i øjeblikket i brug.
Denne smukke middelalderlige befæstning giver dig mulighed for at lære noget historie og tage vidunderlige billeder fra toppen. Klokken 16:00 er din tur forbi, og du vil starte din rejse tilbage til Sofia med en forventet ankomsttid på Alexander Nevski Square i Sofia omkring 18:00.

Great experience! Guide was friendly knowledgeable and provided a lot of history.
Philip was our guide for this tour and was excellent. He provided us with detailed information with a sense of humor. Plovdiv was excellent; we enjoyed going through the old town with its history and then walking through the new town. Asen's Fortress is highly recommended. You need to be sure-footed as the steps up to it were uneven. The views were absolutely fabulous. There were roadworks on the motorway to Plovdiv, so we were on a tight schedule. The motorway was to be closed later, so things seemed a little rushed at times. That said, we avoided the motorway on the way back to Sofia. We took the back roads and saw parts of Bulgaria we would have never expected to see. Well done, Bobby, our driver. A long day, but very much worth it.
Plovdiv is a very beautiful city with a lot of history, worth visiting. The strength of Asen is also interesting and the setting is beautiful ❤ our guide Philip, has been very friendly, polite, and enlightened, with a very good sense of humor.
Great small group (5 people) tour, the guide was excellent on all fronts, his knowledge was nothing short of top shelf. Transport was very comfortable, we had plenty of spare time to have lunch and see a few other highlights in more detail
Excelent tour ! Excelent tour guide ! Thnk you Gregorio ! You were great and very very prepared and helpfull ! Gracias !!!! Next excursión I will get them From your company. Thanks
Fantastic day trip, beautiful old town. Ivan was a wonderful guide, answering all our questions and giving the perfect balance of guided tour and free time to explore.
Guide & driver very pleasant people however the bus was not what was expected, seatbelts didn’t work , air conditioning broken & working intermittently- exhaust fumes filtering into bus. The tour felt very rushed - sure there are better options available.
This is an excellent reasonably priced trip to Plovdiv from Sofia. It takes around 1hr 45mins to reach, and then you get a good overview walking tour with the guide (be aware that the walk is over uneven ground and includes a lot of steps) for about 2hrs. This is followed by 2hrs free time. Then you drive to the fortress, its worth noting that costs 4lev entrance which is not included and can only be paid in cash. Then you return to Sofia. Plovdiv itself is very interesting, I loved the Roman history and the old town is quaint with wooden style buildings.
By my personal taste Plovdiv itself is not so worth to visit, maybe just to have a walk in it. I had to be really bored but the guide was amazing and put a lot of passion in it and the fellow travelers I met in the trip were amazing people. Great to have such a small group and transportation in a van, but, please, do something about shock absorbers, they almost don't exist.
Long travel time from Sofia, to see little interesting archaeological find. Asen Fort, dangerous pedestrian access, very slippery.
