My friend and I went to Plovdiv and the Rhodope Mountains, it was stunning! Plovdiv is a very interesting city and the mountains are breathtaking. We were about an hour by boat on the lake, we ate at a stunning restaurant. The guide Daniel answered all the questions and was amazing. We enjoyed every moment!

We are delighted with this excursion, the very beautiful city of Plovdiv, Lake Vcha - incredible, beautiful mountains, nature and comfortable conditions and a good guide Daniel, a restaurant with fish dishes that live in this lake, created a mood for us. You will not regret if you go on this excursion.

Vi blev hentet på hotellet af imødekommende guide. Vi var se eneste to, der skulle med - selvom der står op til 8 personer. Vi fik en fin forklaring om Sofias udvikling på turen mod Plovdiv. Køreturen varede ca. 1,5 time. I Plovdiv blev vi vidst rundt, samt fik vist nogle af de adskillige udgravninger i byen. Oprindeligt skulle vi også have set en 3D film om byens romerske fortid, men da der var tekniske problemer, måtte vi desværre være denne foruden. efter ca 1,5 time i Plovdiv kørte vi 1,5 time mod Rhodope Mountain. Smukt og ikke mindst fascinerende at overvære kørslen op af det smukke bjerg. På vejen op stoppede vi ved en lokal restaurant. Fantastisk oplevelse! Vi prøvede deres friterede fisk (fanget i søerne ved bjerget), bulgarak brød og bulgarsk salat med tomater dyrket i bjergene og gedeost også lavet i bjergene. Enormt billige priser med den skønneste udsigt ud over bjerg og søer. Senere smuk sejltur. Alt i alt, lang køretid, men det hele værd!
