Rejseplan
08:00 henter din guide dig fra dit hotel/indkvartering i Plovdiv, og din rejse i det østlige Rhodope begynder. Vores første mål vil være at nå og udforske det fantastiske sted Perperikon. Det er et arkæologisk sted i Bulgarien, der har en lang og rig historie, der spænder fra den thrakiske civilisation (5. århundrede f.Kr. til 5. århundrede e.Kr.) til middelalderen. Det betragtes som et af de største og mest betydningsfulde arkæologiske steder i Bulgarien. Stedet omfatter et paladskompleks, et fristed og en fæstning og menes at have været et politisk, økonomisk og religiøst centrum i det gamle thrakiske rige. I middelalderen blev Perperikon besat af det byzantinske imperium og blev brugt som en militær fæstning for at beskytte regionen. Paladset har imponerende stenstrukturer, herunder en stor hal, et tårn og en gårdhave. Helligdommen menes at have været brugt til religiøse og mystiske ritualer, både i den thrakiske og middelalderlige periode.
Efter at have udforsket den fantastiske by Perperikon fortsætter vi nordpå og passerer gennem den regionale storby - Haskovo. Vi stopper for en frokost i byens centrum og vil beundre den største statue af Vergin Marry i verden. monumentet er blevet certificeret af Guinness Book of World Records som den højeste statue af Jomfru Maria med Jesusbarnet i verden. Jomfru Maria er den traditionelle skytshelgen for Haskovo. Den bulgarske National Revival-time Church of the Holy Mother of God, bygget fra 1832 til 1837, var den første katedral, der blev bygget i Haskovo i moderne tid.
På vores vej vil vi besøge en meget interessant middelaldermoské, der tjente en af de største messer i det osmanniske imperium - den i Uzunzhovo, som blev omdannet til en ortodoks kristen kirke i begyndelsen af det XX århundrede. En del af Caravanserai er stadig synlig ved siden af kirken. Stedet er unikt og fortjener bestemt et besøg.
Vores sidste stop på dagen er et mesterværk af gammel kunst. Thracian Tomb of Alexandrovo er en velbevaret gammel grav beliggende nær landsbyen Alexandrovo, Haskovo-provinsen, Bulgarien. Det blev opdaget i 2000 og er blevet dateret til den hellenistiske periode omkring det 3. eller 2. århundrede fvt. Graven er skåret i en klippe og består af et centralt kammer og to sidekamre. Det er berømt for sine velbevarede fresker og andre dekorationer, som anses for at være blandt de fineste eksempler på thrakisk kunst. Kalkmalerierne skildrer scener fra det daglige liv og religiøse ritualer og giver et indblik i de gamle thrakieres tro og skikke. Efter vi har besøgt graven kører vi tilbage til Plovdiv, hvor din guide vil returnere dig til dit hotel/indkvartering.

Originally I was on the fence about this tour as my time was limited in Plovdiv. Judging by the pictures on the Google the site looked underwhelming. I was TOTALLY WRONG. The site is beautiful and massive. Pictures will never do it justice. Our tour guide Adrian showed up on time (communication was seamless) and went out of his way to pick us up from an area of Plovdiv that is not easy to drive through. Once on route he started describing the region and all of the history. The site is breathtaking and Adrian made it even better with his funny and intelligent narration. He is without a doubt the most knowledgeable person I have ever met about that era of history. He was able to relate the information to me in a way it made sense and now I want to learn more. You are silly to book this tour through any other tour guide. It is not the cheapest tour but I can assure you it is worth every penny. This is the first review I have posted in my entire life. That’s how happy I was with the entire experience. Thank you Adrian. You have set the standard to which I will compare any other guided tour I will ever take. BOOK THIS TOUR!!!! You won’t regret any of it.

We were the only ones who booked the trip for the day, so Adrian became our private guide. We had a great day! Adrian could tell a lot about the places we visited. He knows a lot about the history of his country and the peoples who ruled there.
Thank you for the great experience and guidance. <3 We learned and saw a lot. Whole trip went without any problems. Good accommodation and customer care. See you again this Summer. Greetings to the whole team :)
Our trip was cancelled so we didn't have an experience. We were not told of the cancellation. If you use this company check midnight to see if the trip is happening. We were waiting to be picked up and was only told when we rang to find out where the driver was. No apology
Dear traveler, I don't know why you are lying that much. You were sent email with alternative dates and a few phone calls to be informed of this. When you called us in the morning you said that your email was not working and your phone was not receiving too. I personally apologized 1000 times because I felt very bad that you did not understand that the tour had to be canceled. Also, you were fully refunded the day before your tour and notified by Viator about it. Sorry, I understand that you are upset but you are lying brutally in this comment.
Tour guide is really nice and taking care of visitors, and even sometimes will take them to extra places.
