Čo robiť v krajine Bulharsko

Rezervácia lístkov, check-in v deň prehliadky a samotná prehliadka prebehli hladko. Keďže sme si neobjednali prehliadku so sprievodcom, museli sme si dobre naplánovať čas na obed v reštaurácii, inak by nám zostalo dosť voľného času. Napriek tomu to bola prehliadka, ktorá stála za to. Ako bod na zlepšenie by som uviedol, že autobus bol dosť starý a bolo vidieť opotrebovanie (poruchy) v interiéri.

Veľmi cenovo dostupný jednodňový výlet s milými a skúsenými sprievodcami! Sonia, anglická sprievodkyňa, bola veľmi milá a mala rozsiahle vedomosti o meste. V Plovdive je veľa nerovných dlažobných kociek a strmých kopcov, takže si obujte pohodlnú obuv. Mnoho obchodov akceptuje platobné karty, ale väčšina stánkových predajcov prijíma iba hotovosť.

Lucian was a great guide for Bulgaria! He shared valuable history and culture mixed with perfect humor that made our experience enjoyable. Wish we could have him wherever we go next!!

If you opt for Rila Monastery only without Boyana Church, you will still get the chance to catch a glimpse of the exterior of Boyana Church as well as the garden around it. Rila Monastery is awesome with the paintings and it felt peaceful over there. Remember to prepare 50 cents to use the toilets or you can change it using the coffee machine outside the monastery. The tour agency added in another attraction after Boyana Church at no additional cost. Overall, it’s a great tour but we would prefer if there was time allocated for lunch.

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.
