Jos valitset vain Rilan luostarin ilman Boyanan kirkkoa, saat silti mahdollisuuden nähdä Boyanan kirkon ulkopuolen sekä sitä ympäröivän puutarhan. Rilan luostari on upea maalauksineen ja siellä oli rauhallinen tunnelma. Muista varata 50 senttiä vessan käyttöön tai voit vaihtaa rahaa luostarin ulkopuolella olevasta kahviautomaatista. Matkatoimisto lisäsi yhden lisäkohteen Boyanan kirkon jälkeen ilman lisäkustannuksia. Kaiken kaikkiaan se on hieno retki, mutta olisimme toivoneet, että lounaalle olisi varattu aikaa.

A very affordable day trip with kind and knowledgeable guides! Sonia the English guide was very kind and knowledgeable about the city. There is a lot of uneven cobblestone and steep hills in Plovdiv so wear comfortable shoes. A lot of stores take card but most pop up vendors only take cash.

Booking tickets, checking in on the day, and the tour itself were all smooth. We didn't sign up for a guided tour, so if you don't manage your time well for lunch at restaurants or similar places, you'll end up with a lot of free time. However, it was a worthwhile tour. As for areas for improvement, the bus was quite old, and we noticed some deterioration (malfunctions) inside the vehicle.

Our tour guide, Martin, is knowledgeable and has a good sense of humour. He provided a lot of information regarding the sites that we visited. The tour was well-paced and we had some free time to explore on our own. Plovdiv as the second largest and one of the oldest cities has much to offer. It is worth a visit. The tour company also provided detailed information timely.

A bit pricey. However the view of on the mountain was magnificent
