An excursion from Plovdiv to Asen’s Fortress and Bachkovo Monastery with a private chauffeur: we pick you up at your hotel in Plovdiv, drive about 20 km and 30 minutes to Asenovgrad, the chauffeur waits at every stop and brings you back. The price is for the whole car, quoted per trip, not per person. Car for up to 4, minivan for up to 6, van for up to 8 and Mercedes S-, E- and V-Class.
The programme
- Asen’s Fortress – above Asenovgrad, with a view over the valley. The chauffeur drops you as close to the entrance as possible and waits.
- Bachkovo Monastery – a little further along the road to Smolyan, in the Rhodope Mountains.
- The Aviation Museum (optional) – next to Plovdiv Airport, about 20 km and 25 minutes from the city.
You decide the order of the stops and how long to spend at each. The chauffeur does not rush and leaves when you are ready.
For groups and hotel guests
For a family or a group of up to 8 we send a minivan or a van, and for a larger group several cars on one schedule. Plovdiv hotels can book the excursion for their guests; the chauffeur waits at reception at the agreed time.
