“Great tour with great reccos ”

We did the Sofia free tour with guide Tommy who was great! He was very knowledgeable about Sofia and was personable with a good balance of anecdotes, humour and connecting history with current events. We also took Tommy's recommendation and caught the 61 bus up Mt Vitosha and hiked from Golden Bridges to Boyana Falls. Would recommend the Sofia free tour and Tommy in particular!

“Sweet Spit in Bulgaria”

You’ll be fortunate to get Slavyan as your Free Tour guide in Sofia. Knowledgeable. Personable. Engaging. First rate. Sofia is a vibrant city with a rich history and culture. Not always a first pick on a European tour, but not to be missed. For first-time visitors, a walking tour is an excellent orientation, adding perspective and insight into the people, places and events that have shaped Sofia and Bulgaria. Great interactive experience.

“Tour histórico Sofia - excelente”

Mina fue una guía excelente. Con muchos conocimientos, simpática, motivadora y profesional. Paradas muy acertadas. Explicaciones y debate abiertas. Tour de 3h también sería genial. Quizás, hubiese agradecido un whatssap suyo previa llegada al punto de encuentro para mejor organización (estaba diluviando en la ciudad) y nos demoramos 10min.

It is highly recommended for those coming to Sofia for a birth visit and as a first step for those interested in exploring the city more thoroughly. A two-hour leisurely walk between the city's main sites while learning about the city's wonderful history under the guidance of Mitka, a professional guide with extensive knowledge and a super friendly personality.

“Nice and short”

We enjoyed very much the tour. Stephan knows every little detail about the city and answered every question we posed, with relaxed and fun tone. Very history-centered which is what we wanted. It was also a bit short in our opinion, which was nice for the cold, but we easily would’ve enjoyed a longer version. Highly reccomended.

“Sofia al frío ”

Nuestro guía Boris ha sido muy amable, con un toque alegre a pesar del frío. Daría unos consejos para los días de mucho frío y mucha calor. Después de mis experiencias personales de viajar siempre en Navidad, ha habido detalles en guías como buscar lugares resguardados de la intemperie, darnos un cuarto de hora para entrar y coger un café caliente y seguir con la marcha. Pero, sin duda Boris le pongo un 10.
