• 5Worthwhile day

  It was a very enjoyable and worthwhile day! I had wanted to visit Starosel for a long time, and GetYourGuide allowed me to finally do so. Our very knowledgeable and well-prepared guide, Maria Maneva, contributed greatly to making the trip such a pleasant experience. A lovely surprise for us was the visit to the town of Koprivshtitsa, which made the day even more special. Highly recommended!

• 5A Must-do Trip in Bulgaria

  I can only recommend this tour. Plovdiv was a very charming city with many beautiful historic buildings. The K-place as it was called because of its harder pronounciation was also lovely. We were able to visit a merchants house whoch was both beautiful and interesting. The was a small entrance fee of 2,5 Euro per Person, but it was not mandatory to visit the house. There were also many interesting anecdotes by our guide Martin. I would recommend booking a guided tour, since you just get to know the places in a different way. I would have like a bit more time in Plovdiv, but I also loved the K-place, so I think this tour was the best compromis. The bus arrived in Sofia on time, as well. And pick up was on time. So all in all a great trip.

• 5Plovdiv guided small group tour

  Great value guided tour that takes one to see the cultural sites of Plovdiv. Definitely good to take guided version as the walking tour will highlight all the best places to see in more detail later. Lots to see so best to not cram other side tours but allow enough time after guided walk to see the grand houses, churches, galleries and ruins in more detail.

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.
