What are people saying about Sofia

Excellent value for a full day
This tour is incredibly efficient - for the price, you get a full day of activities, breathtaking views, and comfortable transportation. The guide was excellent, explained everything in detail, and provided us with a useful map.
One important tip for future travellers: take the departure times seriously!
The bus leaves on time, and apparently on almost every tour someone misses it and has to make their own way back. So keep an eye on the time and don’t rely on the bus waiting for you.
Overall, highly recommended - great experience and excellent value for money.

Great day Trip from Sofia
My 16-year old son and I had a wonderful day trip to Lovech and the caves! Though Lovech was a bit sleepy on the day we were there, we actually embraced that it was not crowded. We walked through the Old Town up to the fort, had lunch in the main square and browsed the small shops. The caves were absolutely stunning and made for beautiful photo opportunities. It gave us a feeling of what smaller Bulgarian towns are like. Our guide was great and gave us lots of information! We actually got lucky because a third cave ended up being part of our itinerary as well! Thank you so much!

Impressive, beautiful and informative
My husband and I travelled from Sofia to the Rila Monastery and Boyana Church. The journey was through very beautiful mountains, rural villages and alongside a stream; the destination was truly impressive and unique. Aleksandar our guide was very informative, knowledgable and gave us lots of useful insights throughout the day. We got plenty of free time at the monastery to explore and try some of the local bread and doughnuts just outside the gates. We then had the additional visit to Boyana Church, where the frescoes were also really striking. A very worthwhile day out and great value for money.

An excellent introduction to Sofia!
This tour was the perfect introduction to Sofia! We took it on our first full day in the city and walked away with a much deeper understanding of Sofia’s history and layout, while also having visited some of its prime highlights—Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, St. Sofia Church, various monuments along the city center’s main promenade, the National Assembly building, etc. Vasil was incredibly informative, and the two-hour tour was the perfect balance of walking, going into certain sights (Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, for example), and learning about other sights that we could visit later during our stay (e.g., Sofia’s top museums and other historical religious buildings). I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants an informative, comfortable (and affordable) orientation to Sofia!

Excellent value tour
Our guide Iva was fluent in English and Spanish and was great at explaining the history of the area as we travelled to Plovdiv. We then split into English and Spanish speaking groups and another excellent guide Sonia led the small English group through the Old Town and to the impressive Roman amphitheatre, explaining everything as we went. After two hours of guided touring we had another couple of hours to enjoy lunch and explore Plovdiv more. A great experience, with cheerful and very competent guides.

Great day. We went to...
Great day. We went to Boyana Church and Rila Monastery, both of which were beautiful. I definitely recommend bringing snacks or a meal with you, as there was not an opportunity to buy food until after 3 pm, though the bakery was delicious once we got there. Hristo was a great tour guide.

Rewarding trip
Long trip but rewarding. Glad we took the time to get a taste of Macedonia through Skopje. Very interesting town of lots of statues. Valentin was a wonderful local guide in Skopje. Dimi was excellent taking us there and back safely. I now want to visit Ohrid. Highly recommended!

Ani was a excellent tour guide and very welcoming
Tour guide Ani was very friendly right from the beginning. Despite only being booked and required to speak in Spanish Ani kindly translated everything into English for those of us who should have had audio guides. I had downloaded the audio guide but hard to follow given that the numbers etc. didn't tie up with the order that we saw things in Plovdiv. Also, the audio guide is an American voice that goes into a lot of detail sometimes for nearly 10 minutes at a time, which I found quite annoying after awhile and hard to stay interested in. If you can I definitely recommend booking a tour with a tour guide that speaks your required language and don't book the audio guide tours. Plovdiv was lovely and nice weather. We also went to the Thracian tomb near Starosel and Starosel art village to look at the amazing graffiti art work. Thank you Ani and our driver for a lovely day trip in a comfortable minibus.

Worth visiting
It was a rainy day but still an amazing place to visit
Perhaps worth bringing your own lunch as the cafes in VT seem a bit standoffish/ rude, but an incredible place and geography of a small picturesque town nestled among a wooded valley with a fortress in the hills and a river down below

Adventure for a day
This is a great trip, please bear in mind that when they say a full day they mean it. I have been on other trips where you are collected at 9 and you return around 4pm. We got back to our drop off point at around 7pm which was great as we really had a full day's experience.
The monastery was beautiful and the guide was very knowledgeable.
We stopped for lunch which is optional, as long as all the group agree. The food was delicious and good value.
The spa was a wonderful experience. Don't forget your flip flops and towel!

Great day trip to Serbia
Our day trip to Nis, Serbia was a wonderful experience! The two-hour journey was comfortable, and our tour guide was extremely informative and helpful throughout the trip. We visited several fascinating sites, including the Mediana archaeological site, the historical Skull Tower, and the Nis Fortress. Each location offered a deep insight into the city’s rich history and culture. After exploring the landmarks, we enjoyed some free time in the city center, which was lively and full of great restaurants and souvenir shops. Overall, it was an educational and enjoyable trip—highly recommended for anyone visiting Serbia!

Great tour for authentic and nice dishes of Bulgaria
Leading a group of 6 people was not seem to be a problem for Peter on this tour, as he is very well organized, have a clear plan what menu to taste and what story to tell. Everything runs smooth without rushing.
Peter leads us to some kind of hidden-gem restaurants, where normal tourist wont find them easily :). We cant remember all the drinks and dishes name, but all were fantastic and authentic.
Thank you Peter, we wish you more success with your upcoming tours!
