Description

Discover the rich heritage of Bulgaria on a full-day guided tour from Sofia to Plovdiv, the country’s second-largest city. This experience takes you through the heart of the Thracian Valley, just a two-hour drive from the capital, making it a perfect day trip for history and culture enthusiasts.

Stroll through Plovdiv’s Old Town, where cobbled streets wind past beautifully preserved 19th-century houses, ancient fortress walls, and impressive Roman ruins. Your guide brings the city’s fascinating past to life, sharing stories behind landmarks like the Roman theatre and stadium, as well as the vibrant Kapana district.

The tour includes comfortable transportation in an air-conditioned vehicle and the option of an English-speaking guide or a multilingual audio guide in several languages. You’ll gain insights into both the city’s ancient roots and its modern culture, with plenty of time to explore at your own pace.

Please note that meals, drinks, and entrance fees are not included, so you can choose your own local favorites along the way. Comfortable shoes are recommended for navigating the charming but uneven streets. The tour lasts approximately 8.5 hours and is best suited for adults and older children.

Begin your adventure at the designated meeting point in Sofia and set off with a small group of up to 15 travelers. Don’t miss the chance to immerse yourself in one of Europe’s oldest cities—secure your spot now and experience the magic of Plovdiv firsthand!
