A day trip from Plovdiv to Hisarya, Kalofer and the Rose Valley with a private chauffeur: about 8–9 hours including the return, the chauffeur waits at every stop, and you decide the order and the time. 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

  1. Hisarya – about 50 km and 1 hour from Plovdiv. The Roman fortress walls, the “Camel” gate and the archaeological museum.
  2. Kalofer – about 69 km and 1 h 15 min from Plovdiv, at the foot of the Balkan Mountains. The birthplace of the poet Hristo Botev.
  3. The Rose Valley – between Karlovo and Kazanlak, with rose distilleries and rose-oil museums.
  4. Return to Plovdiv – to your hotel or address.

When to go

The roses bloom at the end of May and in June, when the distilleries are at their busiest. Hisarya and Kalofer are worth visiting all year round. If you also want Kazanlak, the day gets longer – tell us and we will plan it.

For groups and hotel guests

For a group of up to 8 we send a minivan or a van, and for a larger group several cars on one schedule. Hotels and guest houses in Plovdiv can book the excursion for their guests; the chauffeur waits at reception.
