Excellent tour of Sofia. Saw all of the major highlights. White it was an audio tour, our guide added more details and answered our questions. Very enjoyable and informative tour.

This was a nice tour with a lovely guide. The eight minute film was a fun idea and made the Roman ruins more interactive. Definitely recommend.

The tour was very good and the audio Guide gave us lots of information.
Our actual guide was friendly enough but it became obvious that she was only there to take us from one location to the next but all in all we really enjoyed it and it was good value for money

What a quick, informative and smooth tour. This is perfect for someone that is short on time, but wants to learn about Sofia’s rich history, culture and magnificent architecture.
Can’t fault the tour, two hours flew by, but in a good way. Our tour Nelly (pardon the spelling) was friendly, answered many questions and knew so much about the city and its history.
Would highly recommend, even if you aren’t short on time.
Response from Host, May 2025
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled that you enjoyed the tour and found it informative and efficient. It's great to hear that Nelly made the experience even better with her knowledge and friendliness.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Fantastic Walking Tour of Sofia!
This walking tour of Sofia was an absolute highlight of my trip! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and engaging, sharing fascinating historical insights, local legends, and fun facts that brought the city to life. We covered all the major landmarks, from the stunning Alexander Nevsky Cathedral to the ancient ruins hidden beneath the city streets, and even some hidden gems I would have never found on my own.
The pace was perfect—not too fast, not too slow—and the guide made sure everyone was involved and comfortable. I also appreciated the personal recommendations for local food and activities, which made the rest of my stay in Sofia even better.
If you're visiting Sofia, this tour is a must! It's the perfect way to experience the city's rich history and culture in an engaging and enjoyable way. Highly recommended!
Response from Host, May 2025

Kosta_K, Jan 2025
It was a great tour, very well organized. I loved the concept of everyone having their own audio guide, along with the actual guide leading us. This is a much better system than having the poor tour guides yelling and competing with all the surrounding noises. Was very impressed with it all. Our guides were lovely and helpful at the end with hints and tips.
Response from Host, Feb 2025
Thank you for your feedback and such a high appreciation of our walking tour with an Audio Guide! We are glad that we were able to make your stay in the Bulgarian capital so pleasant. You give us the energy to create new routes, thank you!
Kyle_O, Nov 2024
Tour guide was amazing! He provided so much history and detail. He was attentive to detail, and I learned a lot! I would go on this again to ask more detailed questions.

This is a great value tour that helps to learn about Sofia.
It uses recorded audio guide but the actual guides help to navigate the city and are happy to answer any questions.
Elmer_P, Mar 2024
Obliging tour guides. Eager for you to know about Sofia and then help you get around the city and even get a taxi
Gauthier_T, Feb 2026
Interesting. The audio guide is in French. The escort speaks English. Count 2 hours of visitation.

Michelle_B, Feb 2026
Great way to see the main sights in Sofia. You are traveling with a guidebook, but the information comes from a volume (audio guide). Despite rain, the tour was a must-do for me. I deduct one star, as we could not visit two stops.

Sofia city tour of about 2 hours and a little more with audio guide (the English guide gave a hint of what we would see from time to time then started the audio guide recorded in the chosen language).
It was a good experience that was worth having. Great value for money.

Good to get a first impression of the city. Also nice that it can be done in your own language. Our guide knew little extra to tell us.

Dank u voor uw reactie! Fijn dat de Sofia stadsrondleiding u een eerste indruk van de stad gaf. We nemen uw opmerking over de extra uitleg mee voor verbetering.
OrnellaAnna_L, Aug 2025
Useful to get a first idea of the city, but too much information, too many sites and everything in a hurry to get to the camouflage of the guard in time. Definitely improveable

Grazie per il tuo feedback! Terremo sicuramente conto della tua opinione e renderemo il ritmo più calmo.
Christina_B, Aug 2025
The job of the tour guide was limited to holding up the digits for the audio guide. Despite the late arrival of the guide, she managed to finish the tour on time. Wasn't worth the money.

Response from Host, Aug 2025
Wir bedauern die Verspätung des Führers und entschuldigen uns bei Ihnen. Wir haben ein Gespräch mit dem Reiseleiter geführt. Wir entschuldigen uns noch einmal. Der Führer dachte, dass die Tour zwar verspätet begann, sie aber die Gruppe in Eile brachte, damit Sie die Änderung der Präsidentenwache sehen konnten, die nur 2 Minuten dauerte. Das war ihr Fehler.
Bernd_H, Aug 2025
In about 2 hours you can see some of Sofia! However, you have to be good on foot! If you have some time for the city, you better book a longer city tour!
