great experience to get some Bulgarian knowledge - it was really nice experiemce to take this trip. Hristo was my tour guide. He does take care that you feel very comfortable and secure all the time, he is willing to answer all your questions and he is very open to share as much details as possible of every single corner that imvolves Bulgarian history. yes the trip implies quite driving hours but it worths it. Plovdiv was a surprise to me, the romans ruins, charming houses in old towm. i really recommend this trip.

You get the big picture about Bulgaria with this trip - Though it involves some driving in a car this tour fantastically shows you the best of Bulgaria with 3 of its cities - Ruse, Veliko Tarnovo and Plovdiv. The accent was on Plovdiv as the European Capital of Culture for 2019 which takes your breath with vast Roman sights and history dating back to 8 thousands years BC. I had a clear view of what Bulgaria is regardless of all the nonsense and bad reputation of the country on TV, I loved it! I'd decide another tour and make up my mind if I wanna see more of this nice country.
