Reviews: From Sofia: Plovdiv and Rila Monastery tour in one day
Guest User2025-10-30
The trip itself wasn't bad, but it took too long. Of the 11.5-hour tour, we spent 8.5-9 hours in the car. After Plovdiv, we returned to Sofia and left Sofia for Rila with another driver, when perhaps we could have changed cars halfway to Rila, without having to drive another two hours back to Sofia and leave. The drivers were friendly, the cars clean. Rila is worth seeing (we were there for 35 minutes), but Plovdiv, in my opinion, wasn't. In Plovdiv, there was a free guide (which you have to pay separately) for a guided tour of the city, which, on the one hand, isn't a bad way to get to know the city. He was good but slow, and we didn't see several things because he talked too much about things not related to the visit. All in all, it's worth doing if you're short on time and want to see more.

Super cool! Guide was really useful and took his time to explain and answer questions. 2 hours of free time is perfect to enjoy the modern city of Plovdiv. I recommend.

Reviews: Plovdiv Small Group Full Day Guided Tour from Sofia

Great day trip, I highly recommend. In Canada, we don’t have historical cites less than 150 years old. So, it’s really amazing to see the historical sites, very walkable, but cobblestones.
