Summary:
Our guide Rally led our fairly large group through the streets of Old Town Plovdiv delivering her narrative in both English and Spanish. The majority of the group had come from Sofia, I and two others met up with them at a previously determined spot in Plovdiv. Rally was well informed and approachable and kindly answered all questions with a smile. The streets of the old city are steep and rough and might be difficult for the mobility compromised to navigate. The tour provided a good introduction to the history of the area; I found it to be worthwhile and a good value, I would recommend it for visitors to the city.
