our tour guide was very kind, explained us the city history in a smooth way, responsed to our questions. I recommend her for every one who would like to see Sofia .
The guide Elitsa was excelent. Very Professional, pacient and showed the Bulgária cultura. Congratulações!
Our tour guide Deni was absolutely great. She has significant knowledge of all the Bulgarian history.
My husband and I were very happy to book this tour!
The guide was a lovely person. She was very informative. When she realised we were going to visit a place several days later, she took us somewhere else instead.
The highlight of the trip was my visit to the magnificent Alexander Nevsky Cathedral. My guide was exceptionally knowledgeable and provided fascinating insights into the history and architecture of the cathedral. He made the experience come alive with their storytelling and in-depth explanations.
Booked for a small group tour but was lucky enough to be a group of two, so really a private tour. The guide (Deni) was great. She was very knowledgeable, took us to the Bells as an added extra and was a pleasure to spend time with (even though we did 15,000 steps!).
I didn’t go to the trip. I have sent messages saying I was with Covid. Had no answer and no refund.still waiting for your answer
Peter was a great guide. He is a very knowledgeable tour guide and answered all our questions. The history museum has one of a kind artifacts located near the mountain. The city tour included seeing all the great historical sites of excavations and nice churches while learning the history of Bulgaria. Enjoyed the tour a lot.
A lovely tour with a great guide. Totally relaxed and adjusted to the personal needs. Famous sights as well as hidden gems are included. The guide was really helpful, answered all the possible questions, gave lots of advice and insights. Warmly recommended!
It was a great tour to get some insight into the city. The guide was very knowledgeable. She was very engaging and friendly. Time flew by. I highly recommend it.
A well worked out tour programme,carried out by an extremely capable guide,who is a credit to your company.
Peter/Piotr was a fantastic tour guide. It was just the two of us, and I very much enjoyed the relaxing/laid-back pace of the tour in and around Sofia, while providing very informative and personal insight to every location we visited that I otherwise wouldn't have been able to learn on my own.
We enjoyed our day with Peter very much. He was knowledgeable and flexible so we saw what we wanted to see. I would strongly recommend this tour…
Maria was the absolute perfect tour guide of Sofia. She brings such a welcoming presence, passion and friendliness to the tour and her city. There were only 2 of us so it was very special. The tour was full of beautiful, historic sites and we could even make request. The lunch place was stunning and very nice food. Even with the cold snow we had an incredible day and got some amazing photo’s. Thank you Maria!!

Thank you for your review and that you have liked our Sofia full day tour
On these amazing tour hosted by the lovely Mariya, whom asked us every time what we wanted to do and was willing to accommodate any requests of places to visit. We asked her to take us to her favourite places as she was so wise and passionate about her city so off we went, we went to the natural history museum of Bulgaria, boyana church a beautiful little world heritage site, we then went to Sofia beach, a big reservoir that locals use as the sea 😂 and had lunch. Then the walking tour was done from the car as it was so cold so we drove about and stopped at all the sites it was amazing

Thank you for the great review you have sent to us
The guide was incredibly well informed and thorough!!! Had a great tour of the National Museum and of the city.
My wife and I had a private tour with Dan in late May. Dan (Jordan) had to be one of the best tour guides we've ever run across. He was very knowledgeable, spoke well, and was flexible in letting us go at our own pace. The tour itself was very enjoyable as Dan took us to a good selection of Sofia highlights. The restaurant for lunch was great with a superb view of Sofia. This tour is certainly a wonderful way to obtain in one day an accurate "sense" of the city.
Nuestro guia en español. Excelente preparacion historia. Comida tipica del lugar.
Lugares precisos,de gran historia. Muy servicial. Un dia de gran aventura y enseñanza
È stata una bella giornata. Giorgio (la nostra guida) era competente preparato simpatico e disponibile. In una giornata abbiamo visto tutte le attrazioni principali così il resto del tempo l’abbiamo dedicato al relax e allo shopping
