We so much enjoyed this tour of Sofia. Chris was so knowleadgeable and he showed us a lot of hidden gems in the capital. We did almost 5 hours and it was excellent.

Excellent experience

The guide was really good and shared interesting information about the city and the country. The places that we visited were well chosen, as well as the route. Excellent organisation and flexibility in terms starting/ending point and time. It was an exciting experience for our guests and they liked the tour a lot,

My business customers and I very amazed by this privately-guided tour

Published on Mar, 2024

That's truly the best walking tour I've ever taken with my business visitors in Bulgaria. Very knowledgeable local guide, interesting sights, off-the-beaten path with lots of information that you cannot read anywhere. Truly interesting and entertaining!

Took it with business customers again, its great!

Published on Mar, 2024

By the way we take it for the third time as this is the best walking tour with the most knowleadgeable guides in Sofia. We always take our business partners and spend the tour with them and they are very happy. We too because this tour is always updated and new, never the same one as before, always to learn something new. Bravo!
