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)

On the way to the charming Veliko Tarnovo we will first visit Shipka Memorial Church which is an outstanding Bulgarian Orthodox temple dedicated to the Russian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian and other soldiers who died for the liberation of Bulgaria in the Russo - Turkish War in 1877-78. The former medieval capital of Bulgaria - Veliko Tarnovo is amphitheatrically situated above the banks of Yantra River. The historical capital of the Second Bulgarian Empire attracts many tourists with its unique architecture and beautiful landscapes. I will show you the imposing Tsarevets fortress; we'll go for a walk along the lovely Turnovo main street, the picturesque Gourko Street and the authentic Samovodska Charshiya Street in the Old Town to see some crafts exhibits, pieces of art, and traditional souvenirs. After lunch, we are going to discover Arbanasi, one of Bulgaria's most remarkable historic villages.
We enjoyed this tour even though the weather was not completely agreeable. Our guide was enthusiastic and provided umbrellas along with historical information and fun facts. Even though the tour ran late, he kindly stayed with us as long as was needed to see everything of interest which had been planned.
We did a fabulous day trip with Kamen exploring the beautiful old capital and churches nearby. The drive was lovely and Kamen is a knowledgeable, patient and friendly guide. We learned so much and were able to ask a lot of questions. It was a wonderful day and we highly recommend Kamen as a guide!
We had a two day tour with Kamen and we were really pleased the service we received. Kamen is quite knowledgeable and was very economical with the time we had in Bulgaria. We went with Kamen because of his flexibility to do a two day tour that took us from Veliko Tarnovo to Sofia and we were very satisfied with the resulting tour.
