I'm born and have been living in Plovdiv all my life except for five and a half years when I was studying Tourism management in Varna and two long summers working as a student in a hotel in Maine, USA. I love traveling around the world to experience local cultures, meet different people, learn about them and explore ancient civilizations. I'm also very interested in hiking, cycling, skiing, beautiful music from all over the world and exciting books. I'm glad to show off my area as there are many amazing landmarks and sceneries to be discovered in Plovdiv region and Bulgaria. I have long years of experience in guiding guests from many countries with different backgrounds and from all ages. I'm a Bulgarian state licensed tour guide, knowledgeable about my country, positive and smiling, helpful and patient with my clients and always with a natural friendly approach. I have designed my tours in a way to show my guests the most impressive places in Plovdiv area and Bulgaria as well. 2016: Licensed tour guide by the Bulgarian Ministry of Tourism (from the first wave of state licensing) 2005: Tour guide certificate from "Protour - 95" (Plovdiv) 2002-2004: University of Economics (Varna) - master degree in Tourism management 1997-2002: University of Economics (Varna) - bachelor degree in Tourism management 1992-1997: French language high school (Plovdiv)

Overview of your Plovdiv tour

This picturesque little town is one of the important centers of the heroic April Uprising against the Ottoman Empire in 1876 and is known for its authentic Bulgarian architecture and for its folk music festivals, making it a very popular tourist destination. Koprivshtitsa is one of the traditional Bulgarian towns, still preserving the authentic atmosphere of the Bulgarian National Revival period of the 19-th century. The town boasts a large number of architectural monuments from this period, 383 in all, most of which have been restored to their original appearance. Collections of ethnographic treasures, old weapons, National Revival works of art, fine fretwork, household weaves and embroidery, national costumes and typical Bulgarian jewelry are kept in several impressive house-museums that we visit on that tour.
