Really good and a must while in Sofia or around

Hr_N, Oct 2025

Very informative activity with rich, interesting and useful information. Glad that we booked it and consumed it all. Alexander Nevsky cathedral is superb with this activity because you get to know so much.

Good information

Judi_R, Sep 2025

The tour is not an actual audio with headphones. It’s a pdf that is downloaded. Information is very good.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Hello Judy, the file has got an audio version too which you can listen to. We had sent to you instructions on how to do it easily. We see that you missed that from what you wrote. All the best, The Team

Disappointed

Jana_V, May 2024

When we arrived there was not an English speaking person. Nobody was able to help us. We paid for a tour and did not receive one. I hope they will refund our money. We got the same experience as anyone who walked in. I would not recommend this tour.

Response from Host, May 2024

Hello Jana, You had booked the self-guided tour option as you see in your activity booking. This is with all guides notes and you received it as an email. The privately-guided option is more expensive and maybe that's why you did not book it. Please, make the difference between the two options as you cannot book a self-guided option and insist on a guide as you understand. We accomplished what you paid for. Best regards, The Team

Disappointment. I had a self-guided tour and found no link or meeting point

Oscar_G, Apr 2026

It was a bad experience for me. I couldn't fully enjoy the attraction. Location problems

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Hola Oscar, te enviamos todo lo necesario para tu visita autoguiada por correo electrónico con un día de antelación. La guía electrónica y las audioguías están disponibles. Puedes usarlas cuando quieras. Es muy extraño que escribas así. Por favor, revisa tu correo electrónico; allí lo encontrarás. Saludos cordiales, El equipo

Scam

Gema_M, Oct 2025

It's a scam. There's no guide or anything. The cathedral is free and they only give you a PDF of 2 sheets for you to read. NOT recommended.

Ceci est une arnaque. N’achetez pas

JulieAnne_R, Jun 2023

Arnaque. Il n’en coûte rien pour entrer dans la cathédrale. Il n’y a pas de visite guidée. Tout ce que vous recevrez est un PDF électronique de 11/2 page. Il n’est même pas possible de prendre des photos sans payer. Éviter d’acheter ce forfait.
