5.00This was an amazingly varied trip and Ventsi was a great guide with really interesting historical knowledge. We would really recommend this trip, wear good shoes, there are lots of cobbled streets in Plovdiv and the access to the fortress is uneven. We all really enjoyed it and being picked up and dropped back to the hotel was wonderful after a long day. All in all just great.

5.00Excellent day trip to explore more of Bulgaria outside of Sofia. Ventsislav was an amazing guide and made sure we had the best time. The monastery and Plovdiv are amazing and shouldn’t be missed while you are in Sofia
