An amazing walk through Plovdiv history - Tuni was a great guide, giving a lot of information and helpful tips! The tour started on time and since we were only 7 people, the guide took a small traveller van and was flexible with the plan.

A very worthwhile day trip from Sofia - Very informative tour! Sonya was very kind and knowledgable as she is a Plodviv local. We had a great time walking around the city, getting the best views, and having free time to explore.

Bravo by TUNI - The guide, Tuni, speaks perfect Spanish and is very nice. It encourages you to participate and learn without being boring, and it makes jokes in between, which is greatly appreciated. He's funny and understands Spanish jargon. He explained everything very well, and it was very enriching.

Perfect for a day trip from Sofia - Perfect for a day trip from Sofia. Light tour, which allows you to know the second city by importance so you can enrich your trip to Bulgaria.

Monday - The tour operator sent me a notes that we should arrive at 8:35am although the bus did not leave until the official start-time at 9am. The tour included two hours of guided tour through the historical sites and two hours of free time. We ran into many sites what are closed on Monday. The tour should have been clear on that. Also, the tour did not leave us time to visit the Roman Theater. Theoretically we could spend our free time there, but we would not have the energy to walk uphill again when the guided tour portion was over. I would have left the last one or two stops of the guided tour to stay at the Roman Theater. Otherwise the tour did touch upon many sites.
