3.Valley of the Thracian Kings Guided Day Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 25 reviews · 10 hours · from $116

10-hour guided day trip from Plovdiv to Thracian royal tombs, Stara Zagora Roman mosaics, Neolithic houses, and a Museum of Religions.

“Excellent guide parfaitement anglophone (Krasimir). Voiture privée. Sites très intéressants (tombeaux Thraces notamment et mosquée de Stara Zagora). En revanche les villes traversées (Kazanlak, Stara Zagora) sont grises et tristes, jonchées de bâtiments soviétiques sans âme… De plus je m’attendais à des paysages somptueux (montagnes, vallées des roses…) mais en réalité au moins d’avril, cela ressemblait plutôt à une triste campagne grisâtre vallonée…”

Small-group day trip from Plovdiv to Perperikon, Haskovo's Madonna statue, Uzunzhovo church, and Alexandrovo Thracian Tomb.

“This was my second tour with Bultrip in five days. Both tours were outstanding, well planned (no rushing through sites), and feature expert guides. Yesterday I had the pleasure of a private tour with “Ivo,” a trained historian who also leads day hiking tours. He’s laid back, but has an amazing knowledge of not just Bulgarian, but Balkan history and culture. By the time he dropped me off, after a very full and satisfying day, I felt I’d attended a university lecture! Which is NOT to scare anyone away, I wanted that much info! He can share as much or as little as you want. I’m delighted I found this…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $143

Private 10-hour Plovdiv trip to Buzludzha, the rose valley at Skobelevo, and Kazanlak's Thracian Tomb, with guided history.

“An amazing day of contrasts, from the surreal concrete flying saucer to the beautiful fields of roses. Our guide was funny and helpful, and would stop anywhere for us to take photos (storks nesting, mountains). It is a long journey to the monument but stunning countryside all the way. As of 2022 you cannot enter the monument, but it is hoped to be renovated by 2023. Our highlight was completely random and unplanned — dancing with a group of Romanians in front of the monument! That’s the beauty of travel. A monumental day.”
