Experience The Cultural Splendor Of Plovdiv And The Renaissance Charm Of Historic Koprivshtitsa Town
This guided excursion takes travelers to two of the most significant towns in Bulgaria, offering a deep dive into the nation's rich cultural and historical tapestry. Plovdiv, recognized as the European Capital of Culture in 2019, serves as the first major stop, where guests can explore the old town. The city boasts a marvellous heritage left by diverse civilizations, including Thracians, Romans, Byzantines, Jews, Greeks, Armenians, and Bulgarians, all of whom have left their mark on the local architecture.
The journey between these two destinations is an experience in itself, as the route winds through the scenic rose valleys and the gentle hills of the Sredna Gora Mountain. Travelers will pass through charming villages that showcase the rural beauty of the Bulgarian countryside. This transit provides a perfect opportunity to appreciate the natural landscapes that have inspired generations of local artists and writers, making the travel time between the two historic towns feel like a scenic adventure.
Koprivshtitsa is the second destination, a picturesque town famous for its spectacular Bulgarian Renaissance mansions and its profound historical significance. The town is deeply connected to the chronicles of various battles, serving as a living museum of the national revival period. Visitors will be captivated by the well-preserved houses and the authentic atmosphere that permeates the streets, offering a rare glimpse into the lifestyle and aesthetic values of the nineteenth-century Bulgarian merchant and revolutionary classes.
Despite the intensive nature of this full day itinerary, the tour is carefully paced to include dedicated free time for shopping, self-guided wandering, and enjoying local cuisine. This balance ensures that participants can engage with the history of the region while also enjoying the modern hospitality of these unique towns. Whether admiring Roman ruins or walking past colorful Renaissance facades, this tour provides a comprehensive look at the diverse heritage that defines the heart of Bulgaria.

Customer Reviews
I cannot recommend this tour enough! We went to Plovdiv and got back the same day — it was such a smooth, enjoyable, and insightful trip. The city is absolutely stunning, full of history, beautiful architecture, and lively streets. What really stood out to me, though, was the amazing customer service. On the day of my original booking, there was an unexpected delay with the taxi I took to the meeting point, and I unfortunately missed the bus. I was so upset, but Ivan was incredibly kind and understanding — he arranged for me to join the tour the next day at no extra cost. I was so grateful for this gesture and the professionalism shown! The tour itself was very well organized, just as other reviews mentioned. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about Bulgarian history. We explored the impressive Roman ruins, admired the unique Bulgarian Revival architecture, and even strolled along Europe’s longest pedestrian street.
This was a great tour and worth doing if you want to see something outside of Sofia and have some extra time. It's a beautiful little town, picture perfect, the our was prompt. Well organised and friendly. Really a great day
We visited Plovdiv with Citytour company that provided a deluxe bus and our guide Simon was amazing, knowledgeable and highly professional and speaking five languages perfect. The old city of Plovdiv is beautiful with many important monuments. It is one of the enchanting cities in Europe
