Wonderful walking tour with Peter - great way to see Sofia and learn about the city! - The tour with Peter was wonderful! It was a great way to see Sofia and learn about the city's history across various eras - we got to see all of the main sites in the Old Town and city centre (which were all amazing) and even had a great coffee from a local place! Peter was kind, friendly and knowledgeable, and answered all of our questions (and more)! I'd definitely recommend the tour to anyone in Bulgaria!
