An excellent excursion

An excellent tour- great mix of history and culture in Plovdiv combined with relaxed beer tasting experience. Highly recommend for a day trip from Sofia. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable.

Fun and educational

The tour was so much fun and I really enjoyed trying local food and beer. I learned a lot too on the drive there and and back and had great company. I would highly recommend this to anyone!

Culture, beer, fun, and ZELE!!!

I really enjoyed this tour. I learned so much about Bulgarian history and culture, while enjoying some great beers!!! I would highly recommend this tour to any beer lover who would also like to get to know Bulgaria and/or Plovdiv specifically. Walking wasn't strenuous and this is coming from someone with two torn knees but it is a walking tour so wear comfortable shoes. My tour guide was so helpful, kind, and knowledgeable. I am most definitely going to book this tour again when I come back to the area. P.S. When trying a beer from Pelta Brewing, I recommend Donkey Hot a triple fruited gose. Very tasty and refreshing. Donkey Hot has a cute cartoon label. Also Donkey Hot is a play on words of hot ass, not sure why that went over my head at the time. Probably because I was a few beers in :)
