Overview

The tour is designed for travelers who want to become familiar with nighttime Sofia from a different perspective, as well as for those who have just arrived in town and can't wait until the morning to explore!

Riding electric scooters is an enjoyable way to get around the city. They will allow you to explore an area that would otherwise take an entire day in less than 3 hours. Your English-speaking local tour guide will introduce you to the history, parks, local lifestyle and nightlife atmosphere of Bulgaria's capital. You will be going mostly through bike lanes and areas where cars are not allowed.

The concept of the tour is tiny groups, 50% sightseeing time + 50% riding time. The e-scooters' top speed is 25 km/h (15 mph). Their max load is 100 kg (220 lbs). A driving license is not required, but if you can't ride a bike, you can't ride an e-scooter! We will start our ride with brief, but clear safety instructions. Helmets and reflective vest will be provided for everyone.

The night time scooter tour was absolutely fantastic. Probably our favourite activity during our stay in Sofia. Our guide Lubomir was very friendly and very well informed. The tour covered plenty of history, with a good view on modern Bulgarian culture and all from a locals perspective. And of course, electric scooters are just great fun! I'd highly recommend this tour.

Excellent guide, extremely polite, friendly and helpful. We had a tour in Russian, Lyubo knows many fun interesting local stories. The scooters are in excellent condition, we were provided with helmets and vests. I strongly advise you to sign up for the tour to catch some fresh air on a ride, learn some background of Sofia’s places of attraction and enjoy company of a reliable guide.

The trip was great. I was born in Sofia, but learned so much about the place. It was exciting how the city and its culture have changed during the past 2 decades! I highly recommend the tour!

Amazing tour with Lubomir! Enjoyed it a lot. Lubomir is very knowledgable, he knows everything about Sofia! The scooters are very cool and it's super fun to try them out. It was my first time on an electric scooter and I had a blast! Overall very fun and friendly experience, I'd recommend this over walking tours :) Thanks again!

Hell everybody, We had a great night out with Lubo who showed us around Sofia and also made sure that we got to see places that we would have never visited without him. He really cared for our safety during the whole ride (I hadn't had any experience on e-scooters) and it was so much fun!!! If you have the opportunity to go on a scooter ride with Lubo, you should definitely take it! Learning about the history of the city couldn't have been more fun! Oh, and btw, Lubo is not only a great guide doing his PhD but also one of the greates mosquito-fighters that the world has ever seen - but this is something you have to ask him yourself when you see him ;-) Have fun! And thanks again, Lubo! :-) Till next time!
