Do I need Pokémon GO experience to enjoy this tour?

No—your guide will explain the game basics and help you catch Pokémon along the way. The tour works equally well for casual players and experienced trainers.

What's included in the price?

A 4-hour tour (private guide or self-guided option), 1 hour of dedicated Pokémon GO gameplay, a sandwich, and bottled water. The private guide option also covers hotel pickup and dropoff.

Can I book the self-guided option and still get a guide if I change my mind?

That depends on availability and supplier policies at booking time. Select the private guide option upfront if you prefer a guide; it includes hotel transfer and local insights.

Is this tour suitable for young children?

Yes, families with kids aged 8+ typically enjoy it. Children should have basic phone/app familiarity, and parents should monitor data usage. A responsible adult must supervise at all times.

A fully charged smartphone with Pokémon GO installed, portable battery pack, comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen, and water (though water is provided). If using the self-guided option, also bring a map or have offline maps downloaded.

How do I get to the meeting point if I book self-guided?

You'll meet at ulitsa 'Hristo G. Danov' in Plovdiv's city centre. Arrange your own taxi, public transport, or rental car to reach this location from your accommodation.

our guide Sofia sorted everything for us and the bit at the end nobody expects was the highlight, and spot on for a couples day out, and 6 stops in about 3 hours.

our guide Mateo was brilliant and a little local spot off the usual route was the highlight. Over easter break so it wasnt too busy. Perfect for first-timers, and 6 stops in about 3 hours, and came away with 200+ photos. Would book again no question.
