The National Museum of...

Donna_J, Jun 2025

The National Museum of History supplies a tour guide who gave a very nice overview in English. Excellent. The Boyana church was very interesting. Overview walking in Sofia gave us some insight on what to see next on our own.

Very nice

Dear Martin Dionne, Thank you very much for your feedback and excellent review. We appreciate your time and we are happy you enjoyed your trip. Lubo (your guide) was very happy with your kind words, too. Looking forward to seeing you again in Bulgaria for more trips together! Best regards, Nora Dobrinska (Traventuria Team)

Good time!

Regarding our tour guide Lubo, It's rare to find a tour guide that goes out of their way to entertain and educate guests beyond the superficial. Lubo, not only shared historical facts but also amazing personal anecdotes that blended well with the theme. All I can say is that if you book this tour ask for Lubo and it's a guaranteed good time. Resident expert that's super chill and knowledgeable!

A beautiful tour of Sofia

Gavin_S, Jul 2022

Lubo was an excellent guide and proved to be very knowledgeable about Bulgarian history and culture. The tour was worthwhile and we saw many beautiful parts of Sofia that I would otherwise have not fully appreciated. The museum and Boyana church were definitely highlights including the California Sequoia in the gardens near the church.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Dear Gavin! Thank you for the amazing and detailed review that you gave of our service and the sights seen. Lubo is happy to know he was an important part of your day! Looking forward to many new trips! Safe travels, Maria Kamenova
