About this activity

Combine two of Bulgaria's cultural jewels in one immersive 10-hour private day trip from Sofia: the ancient Roman city of Plovdiv and the charming National Revival town of Koprivshtitsa. Travel at your own pace with a dedicated private guide who tailors the experience to your interests, exploring millennia of Bulgarian history, Ottoman-era architecture, and vibrant local culture.

Full day (10 hours) private combo tour to the 2 of the most beautiful towns in Bulgaria - Plovdiv, and Koprivshitsa. 

The European Capital of Culture for 2019 is a must-see destination and the revival town of Koprivshtitsa is something not to miss while in Bulgaria.

Travel with your own private guide and take the tour at your own pace and interests.

  • Explore the cities of Plovdiv and Koprivshtitsa on a day trip.
  • Discover the history of Bulgaria stretching thousands of years.
  • Enjoy a mix of culture, architecture, and history on this tour.
  • Pickup and drop-off from your Sofia hotel are included (if the privately guided option is selected).

Please note that there are two options for this tour: Self-guided or privately guided. Simply select the option you prefer from the rates section and the cost will be calculated automatically.

Insider tips

  • Ask your guide to focus on the quieter side streets of Koprivshtitsa to avoid peak tourist crowds and experience authentic local life
  • Wear comfortable walking shoes—both towns are best explored on foot across uneven cobblestone streets and steep hillsides
  • Bring water and snacks; while both towns have cafes, prices are higher in tourist zones and options limited in Koprivshtitsa

Good to know

  • Two tour options available: private guide (includes Sofia hotel pickup/drop-off) or self-guided (you arrange transport; meeting point provided)
  • 10-hour tour allows roughly 4–5 hours per destination including travel time between locations
  • Privately guided option requires hotel selection or address entry during booking for pickup logistics
  • Uneven historic streets and steep hillsides may challenge mobility—confirm accessibility with supplier before booking if needed
