Plovdiv is a beautiful city with lots to see and do. Ves did an excellent job of explaining all about the sites. Wish I had more time in Plovdiv.

We had a wonderful time with Campfire BG tours on our tour of Plovdiv. This is a don't miss opportunity and we are so glad we booked this experience while we were in Sofia. Our guide was personally welcoming and so knowledgable about the key sites in Plovdiv and the history - she even took some great pictures of us and pointed out some local artists for us to stop and buy art/souvenirs from. In addition to the beautiful scenery and walking tour of Plovdiv, we loved the visit to Villa Yustina winery. It was a great capstone to the day. The tour and tasting were fabulous and at every step of the way we felt so welcomed! We cannot recommend this tour enough! Knowledgable, fun, professional, and safe, it was a full day to remember! Thank you!
