  Very loose, broken cobblestones making for treacherous walking. Also, don't expect a bathroom break. Otherwise, knowledgeable guide with lots of insight.

  Excellent. The English guide Alex was very knowledgeable. Old town Plovdiv is crammed with attractions in a small area.

• 5Great value for money!

  It was a very well organized day trip from Sofia. Our guide (a history teacher) Aleksander was great. He really has a great knowledge about history and story telling skills (also nice sense of humor). The communication day before the trip was also nice. They explain where and how to meet. If I had more time in Bulgaria, I would definitely try to book sth with the same company and the same guide.

• 5Great trip to Plovdiv

  A positive experience, it's a beautiful city although quite difficult to walk around the centre due to the large cobbled stones and hilly terrain. The guide was good although not as passionate as Eva, the guide who was on our trip to Rila monastery who was fantastic. The driver was good and the punctuality and organization too.

About Sofia

Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, lies below Vitosha mountain, mixing Roman ruins, golden-domed churches, mineral springs and a busy café culture.

Sofia sits in a high basin at the foot of Mount Vitosha, and its centre layers Roman Serdica, Orthodox Bulgaria and the Ottoman and Soviet eras. The gold-domed Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, completed in the early twentieth century, is the city's best-known building. Close by are the fourth-century rotunda of St George, the Banya Bashi Mosque and the remains of Roman streets that show through glass in the metro stations.

Top-ranked sights in Sofia: Rila Monastery, Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, Ivan Vazov National Theatre.
