Plovdiv is a MUST-SEE! - Vessy is hands down the best tour guide out there! Our trip to Plovdiv was nothing short of magical. The city has so much history and the charming cobblestone streets make you feel transported back in time. We got to see the Hisar Kapia - one of the oldest gates to ever exist and one of the entrances to the acropolis of Plovdiv. The food was absolutely delicious. Everything was super fresh and the service was fantastic. The hospitality that the people of Bulgaria show is second to none. I highly recommend booking a tour with Vessy for your next trip! She is not only extremely knowledgeable, but also personable as well! Thank you, Vessy!

Amazing experience - We had an excellent experience in Plovdiv with outstanding service from start to finish. Our tour guide was wonderful – very knowledgeable, engaging, and full of interesting stories that brought the city’s rich history to life. The walking tour was well organized and perfectly paced, allowing us to truly enjoy the Old Town and its unique atmosphere. A special highlight was the traditional lunch, which was absolutely delicious and authentically Bulgarian. The variety of local dishes was impressive, beautifully prepared, and full of flavor. This experience exceeded our expectations and is highly recommended to anyone visiting Plovdiv.
