Super tour - The Essential Bulgaria - Plovdiv, Kazanlak, Veliko Tarnovo

Bulgaria has many sightseeing jewels in its crown, but this 3-day super tour of Bulgaria will show you 3 of the most visited tourist sites - Plovdiv, Kazanlak Thracian Tombs and Veliko Tarnovo. We offer all three of them as one-day tours from Sofia, but we feel like it is too many hours sitting in a car, so we recommend a 3-day tour allowing you to explore better the places and to avoid many kilometers. This tour will also allow you to enjoy Plovdiv and Veliko Tarnovo at night.
