Excellent city tour - The guide was awesome! He answered all of our questions and in the end we also received a list with recommendations with things to do in Sofia. The town itself is very beautiful and with a lot of history.

Exciting and interesting city tour! - I would like to express my gratitude to my guide Vasil in Sofia city, who was kind enough to show
me around without cancelling my tour, as I was the only one who showed up on that day. I
appreciate it a lot, as it was my only day and chance to explore the city.
The tour was quite interesting and informative about the capital of Bulgaria. The most beautiful
and main historical sights and attractions were shown. Vasil is professional and very
knowledgeable about the history and other aspects of his country and he replied on all my
questions with respect, confidence and patience. I would recommend Vasil to all tourists visiting
hospitable Bulgaria, you will definitely not regret it!

Magnificent tour of Sofia with in depth knowledge! - Excellent tour with so much knowledge.
I learned on this tour so much about Sofia as a city. I learned about it's history and culture and what things mean. The guide knows good English and has a good route around the city and it ended on the main street so it was wasy to continue from there forward. The guide had good vision regarding the route of the tour and knew about history, culture and architecture. I must really say this your was a bargain. Everyone should book this tour in Sofia in order to become intellectual. I took a tour later to Nis and I could combine the knowledge from this tour to the Nis Serbia tour. 6/5 stars! And once again warm thank you for doing this guided tour!

I am well travelled and found this one of the most informative, well crafted tours I have been on anywhere.
I would definitely recommend this tour as not only was it enjoyable but also exceptional value for money
