Very informative tour and the guide Sonya was very knowledgable. Would recommend this as a way of getting oriented to Plovdiv and learning about its fascinating history.
Our tour guide was Pavel. He was superb and very informative. Him and his group came via bus from Sofia. We stayed in Plovdiv and met up at the meeting point. The walk was about 2 hours long and covered all main sites in the old town and ended at the mosque at the pedestrian street. Great tour with a superb tour guide Pavel. Recommend this walking tour!
Great experience, very good Karolina, kind and helpful.
Thank you for the great review! Karolina will love hearing she was kind, helpful, and made your experience shine. Hope to welcome you back soon! City Tour Team
Although the group that came from Sofia and we had to join had a mishap, they looked for another Viviana guide and made the tour to the people who were in Plodvid. Very entertaining the visit commenting on the history of the city and its monuments. Good recommendations. Thank you.
Sonya is an excellent guide full of stories about the City and its sights but also about the history and culture of Bulgaria. Highly recommended. Thank you.
Ralitsa was an amazing guide, very knowledgeable, friendly and caring. We enjoyed discovering the old city in her company. We strongly recommend this amazing tour if you are in Plovdiv.
Our guide Rally led our fairly large group through the streets of Old Town Plovdiv delivering her narrative in both English and Spanish. The majority of the group had come from Sofia, I and two others met up with them at a previously determined spot in Plovdiv. Rally was well informed and approachable and kindly answered all questions with a smile. The streets of the old city are steep and rough and might be difficult for the mobility compromised to navigate. The tour provided a good introduction to the history of the area; I found it to be worthwhile and a good value, I would recommend it for visitors to the city.
Thank you for the lovely day Maria. We've seen and learned a lot. Plovdiv is a very nice city to which a visit is always worth
Vielen Dank für deine freundliche Bewertung! Es freut uns sehr zu hören, dass du den Tag mit Maria genossen hast und dass du viel über Plovdiv lernen konntest. Es ist wirklich eine wunderschöne Stadt, die auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert ist. Wir hoffen, dich bald wieder auf einer anderen Tour begrüßen zu dürfen!
All very nice, wonderful places!! Simon, the guide, acceptable!! I do not want to give 5 stars because you have too little free time to stay in the country.
A really interesting guided walking tour. Julian was very friendly and gave us a lot of information about the city, old and modern, and traditional artisans and crafts. And we enjoyed very much the restaurant he suggested. Thank you very much
