    With this tour you will have the chance to discover the town of Plovdiv: the oldest existing settlement in Europe. It is a very beautiful place, also known as the town of the Seven Hills, and it can be reached for only 2 hours from Sofia by car. This amazing city merges Thracian, Roman and Bulgarian heritage. You will see traditional Bulgarian houses from the Revival period, walk by Roman remains and early Christian mosaics. Popular museums that can be visited in the town are the Ethnographic museum, the museum of Natural history, the Roman stadium. And you will have free time for lunch in a traditional local restourant. Plovdiv is the second largest city in Bulgaria, the 5th oldest in the world and the oldest in Europe. Its history dates back to 4,000 years BC. In the beginning, the ancient settlement was situated on the natural elevation between Nebet, Taksim and Dzhambaz hills (the Three Hills). In ancient times Thracians inhabited the Three Hills and built a fortified settlement – the largest city in Thrace. In the 4th century BC Plovdiv was conquered by Phillip of Macedonia. He gave the city one of its many names – Phillipopolis, and had it surrounded by thick fortified walls. Later it became a Roman province and an important regional center. The town hosts the Roman theatre, which was successfully restored and it is presently used for different performances, concerts and events. Since this year Plovdiv is the European capital of culture, you may be able to see some of the undergoing events as well! They will be in all different aspects such as exebitions, concerts, art permormances, street parades and many others. You can write us your date of traveling and we will inform you what events will be held during that period and can be included in the day trip.

We had a wonderful experience. Guide was very friendly and took very good care of us espically the children. He kept us all engaged. He was very considerate to our requests. Definitely worth spending the extra money for a private tour.

Plovdiv is a fascinating place and Poli is an excellent guide (and driver). The tour duration was just about perfect. Poli did a good job helping us manage the heat on the hills of Plovdiv.

Esta excursión fue una experiencia que no cumplió nuestras expectativas. A pesar de cumplir con los requisitos para tener un tour guiado en español (éramos más de 4 personas), no se nos ofreció la posibilidad. Nos dejaron en Plovdiv con una audioguía (si se puede considerar como tal, porque madre mía) y nos dijeron que teníamos 3 horas para visitar toda la ciudad y comer. Esto suponía recogernos a las 14:30 cuando realmente la hora que ponía en la descripción del tour era a las 15:00. Al comentárselo, nos indició que habían adelantado la hora para así evitar el tráfico de la ciudad, cosa que nos podían haber explicado antes y habernos dado la posibilidad de elegir (al final, no hubo mucho tráfico y llegamos a Sofía a las 17:00 como estaba planteado). Al final, viendo que en ese tiempo no nos iba a dar tiempo por nuestra cuenta con la "audio guía" a descubrir Plovdiv, nos acoplamos al tour en inglés (los cuáles eran sólo 4 personas). El tour en inglés fue pésimo. El guía no daba apenas explicaciones históricas, no hacía por transmitir la información ni parecía mostrar interés ni en la ciudad ni en lo que nos estaba contando. No nos enteramos de nada y al final nos fuimos de Plovdiv sin conocerla apenas. Me da pena porque esta ciudad tenía muy buena pinta, con muchas curiosidades y mucha historia, pero nuestro tour no supo enseñarla bien.
