Great introduction to Sofia - Joy was a delightful guide and we were fortunate enough to be the only members of the group. In the space of 2 hours we learnt a huge amount about Bulgarian history- of which we were totally ignorant- religion, politics, architecture and culture. We were taken into churches, shown places where we could explore in depth in our own time. We filled our bottles up at the thermal spring, as all locals do. A refreshment and comfort break was very welcome and we had some delicious hot chocolate at a cafe we would never have entered on our own.
Thank you for such a wonderful introduction to your country: we had a really enjoyable afternoon at the National Archaeological Museum.
We would definitely recommend this introduction to help you make the most of a trip to Sofia.

Really enjoyable tour of Sofia - Thoroughly enjoyed our tour around Sofia. Vessy was very knowledgeable about the city, lots of interesting fact about the history of Sofia and made it fun along the way. Stopped at a cafe for hot chocolate for half an hr which broke up the walking. Very good value for money. Thank you!

Sofia Walking tour - Our guide Vessy was lovely, friendly and had amazing historic knowledge. She delivered the information in a very engaging way and was so interesting to listen to. I have been a numerous walking tours in different cities and some guides can be quite boring to listen to but Vessy was great to listen to and learn from and her communication skills are excellent. She engaged all four of us in our group by asking questions. She even added in a lovely little extra stop off so we had baileys hot chocolate in a beautiful cafe overlooking a park. We visited all 3 main churches in Sofia, ancient Roman ruins, thermal springs and various monuments, learning so much about the rich and ancient history of Sofia. She even gave us recommendations for places to eat and other places to visit within the city. She is an excellent guide.
