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!

We had one amazing time visiting Plovdiv, wine tasting @ Villa Yustina and seeing the Red Church at sunset. Our guide Filip and our driver Peter did an excellent job making us feel welcomed and safe. Filip is very knowledgeable and engaging. Highly recommended this tour!

I had a wonderful time with her(,nice guide). While traveling by car, I heard about Bulgaria's geography and history. It was interesting. I took a walk while receiving a polite explanation of the city of Plovdiv. In wine tasting, I was able to enjoy it slowly. On the way back I stopped at Red Church and I felt like I had a time slip. It was very fun! 私は素敵なガイドさんのおかげでとても有意義な時間をすごすことができました。 車での移動中は、ブルガリアの地理や歴史のお話を聞くことが出来ました。プロブディフの街では、丁寧な説明を受けながら散策しました。 ワインテイスティングでは、ゆっくりと自分のペースで楽しむことができました。 帰り道に立ち寄ったレッドチャーチでは、タイムスリップしたような気分になりました。 とても有意義な1日でした。

<p>A very interesting and factual tour. Plovdiv is one of the most beautiful cities I have ever visited, the wine tasting was a great experience, and the history in Perushtitsa was tragic and heroic. A fascinating tour.</p> <p>The problem I had with the tour was that the Mercedes SUV had a problem in that the air conditioning did not work. It was a very warm day when we did the tour March 21, and the driver could not get the air conditioning to work, and made the situation worse by locking the windows so you could not crack the windows for some fresh air. With five people in the car, it was a miserable ride for a large portion of the tour. The company should not send out vehicles for tours that are not working properly.</p>
