Plovdid tour and wine tasting
Nicky was a fab guide, Drive to Plovdid and walked up around giving narrative on what we were visiting . He was very knowledgeable. The pace was great, not rushed, and gave time for us to ask questions. After Plovdid we wine wine tasing, Had a tour around the production and the guide Roman was very enthusiastic, Tried a great selection of wines and the whole experience was wonderful

Lovely day
Niki was right on time and we were the only ones in the ‘group’ so had a private tour. The tour of Plovdiv was nice, but there was no lunch included like promised in the description. Niki seemed a bit shy, he knew a lot about the city but it didn’t always really come across. The wine tasting was nice, the girl (forgot her name) had a lot of knowledge about wine, her English was very nice and she joked with us. The wines were delicious, too bad we couldn’t take them home because we only have hand luggage. We had a lovely day and even though I think Plovdiv could easily be visited on your own, the wine tasting was a really nice extra.

Perfect day
Our two guides: Victoria and niki, were wonderful, full of interesting information about Sofia and Bulgaria. We enjoyed a relaxed trip with them, visiting lovely Plovdiv. After that, we got an interesting explanation about a winery called Villa Justina. At the winery we had a very good meal accompanied by suitable wines and we are back happy at evening to Sofia.

Plovdiv and Thracia Valley with Wine Tasting: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sofia.
How much does Plovdiv and Thracia Valley with Wine Tasting cost?
+
Prices start at $166 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sofia usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Plovdiv and Thracia Valley with Wine Tasting take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sofia is not rushed.
Is Plovdiv and Thracia Valley with Wine Tasting worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 17 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sofia, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Plovdiv and Thracia Valley with Wine Tasting?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Plovdiv and Thracia Valley with Wine Tasting suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Plovdiv and Thracia Valley with Wine Tasting?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sofia can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sofia and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Plovdiv and Thracia Valley with Wine Tasting start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sofia within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Sofia?
+
On Outty we rank every Sofia experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sofia Highlights 2 Hour Sightseeing Walking Tour, Communist Walking Tour of Sofia, Museum of illusions Sofia Official Entry ticket. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Sofia?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Sofia?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
