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.
Essential primer for Plovdiv in the hands of the excellent Sonya.

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.
Nice trip to Plovdiv

On time, well organised, cautious drving. Well designed to cover the most important parts of Plovdiv. Special mention to the guide, Dmitry. He has a deep knowledge of history which he uses to support his description of all the landmarks. Very good!

We booked an excursion to Plodiv in Spanish and the experience has been very good. Although the experience could be extended a little longer to walk through the city's pedestrian street.
