Plovdiv small group guided tour from Sofia

5/5
1 reviews

Embark on a journey to Plovdiv, the oldest continuously inhabited city in Europe and the proud European Capital of Culture 2019. Whether you prefer a guided or self-guided experience, this tour offers an ideal blend of history, culture, and flexibility to suit every travel style.

The adventure begins at the Vasil Levski Monument, where you'll find the tour guide and van. From there, you'll embark on a comfortable two-hour journey to Plovdiv.

If you opt for the guided tour, a professional guide fluent in English, Spanish, or Italian will lead you on a two-hour walking exploration of the Old Town. You'll discover beautifully preserved Revival-era houses, panoramic hilltop views, the Roman Theatre and Stadium, and the bustling main pedestrian street. Following the guided tour, you'll have two hours of free time to indulge in lunch, shopping, or museum visits.

For those who prefer total flexibility, the self-guided option provides four hours of free time upon arrival in Plovdiv. This is an excellent choice for independent travellers eager to explore at their own pace.

Regardless of your chosen option, departure from Plovdiv is scheduled for mid-afternoon with an expected return to Sofia by early evening.

    We enjoyed our trip! I wish we had more alone time at Plodvid so that we could visit more museums. It was a great time and we would do it again!
