“Daniel was a superb guide. He explained so much of the history and he drove many miles to get us to the wonderful places that were on the tour. I can’t praise him enough for the experience. Incredible tour of Plovdiv. The fortress was phenomenal and he took fantastic photos of us. The monastery was inspirational. So much to see and learn about. Very inspiring. Highly recommend this to everyone!!”

A 7-hour small-group day trip from Plovdiv to Asen’s Fortress, Bachkovo Monastery, and the Wonderful Bridges in the Rhodopes.

“Really varied and stunning tour visiting the wonderful bridges (much more spectacular than on the pictures), Bachkova monastery (which was stunning) and the Assens fortress in the beautiful Rhodope mountains. Our guide Christina was friendly and knowledgable and any of these places would be worth a visit on their own so doing 3 in a row was great.”

“Kamen is an exceptional guide. We booked this tour at 11 pm and the following day at 9 am he was under our hotel. It is a perfect trip for half a day if you are in Plovdiv without car. Kamen is eager to share information not only on the fortress and the Monastery, but also on Bulgaria and Bulgaria culture in general. Recommended!”

Plovdiv old town, Asen’s Fortress, and Bachkovo Monastery from Sofia with hotel pickup, an English guide, and great views.

“This 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.”
