Book this experience - really recommend!! This full day trip was AMAZING. Rado made sure we had a perfect day. The ride was so comfy. He definitely made it possible for us to go places we would have missed without him offering this trip to travelers. Lunch was not included but the restaurant The host chose was delicious. We had local trout fished from the stream below. We would eat there again! Plovdiv, Boyana church & the rest were all made possible thanks to a great host! Not once did we feel rushed and had plenty of time at each stop during the day Book it now ☺️ - recommend!
