The experience

The day starts with a drive into Thracia Valley, where you visit working vineyards and watch the wine production process unfold. You taste several types of local wine at the vineyards themselves, learning how the region's grapes become the bottles in front of you. The valley's terrain and climate shape what grows there, and the producers explain what that means for the final product.

After the vineyards, the tour moves to Plovdiv's Old Town, where the streets themselves are the attraction. The quarter is built as an open-air museum of restored houses and landmarks from centuries past, each one a piece of the city's layered history. You walk through it with your guide, who points out the architectural details and the stories behind them. The Old Town is the second-biggest city in Bulgaria, and this quarter is where that history concentrates.

Hotel pickup and drop-off bracket the day, so you don't arrange separate transport. The guide speaks English, Spanish or Italian depending on which option you book at checkout.
