★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 32 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $134Our pick

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.”

Free pickup from Sofia for a 9-hour Plovdiv and Perushtitsa day trip, guided Old Town walk, Red Church stop, and Villa Yustina wine tasting.

“Lovely tour around d Plovdiv. Demetri is very knowledgeable about the history and the area. What was supposed to be a group tour turned out to be a private tour so the timing was a lot more flexible. We didn’t see the red church as we preferred spending more time at Plovdiv which is a lot more scenic that Sofia - rich history and culture. As a wine enthusiast, Villa Yustina was a good visit. We requested to top up so we can taste more wines and it was the best decision. Would have loved to visit more wineries if possible!”

Hike Eagle’s Eye for a 360 view, then visit Devil’s Throat Cave with a 42m underground waterfall on a small-group Plovdiv day trip.

“Highly recommended trip - we had Ivo as our guide and he was incredible - background in history and knows a lot about the places he took us to. Eagle's Eye is absolutely worth the hike and Devil's Throath needs to be experienced - photos don't do it justice and words aren't enough to describe it. The restaurant was also amazing - the food they serve is next to none both in quality and taste. We had a slight issue with card payment at the end but it got resolved very very quickly by the staff - they were very polite and got it sorted literally by the next morning…”
