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!

We took our busoness customer on this tour. It was totally great and we were delighted as always. 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!

The guide, Vianka, was excellent . However, I think the price was outrages for a 2 hours walking tour. Shameful

Yordan met us at our hotel and tailored the tour to our scheduling needs. He is a teacher and knows how to distill the information and framed the central city walk with background details. We rode the subway and tram with him to get that experience as well. Excellent way to get started with the Sofia experience. We very highly recommend this tour.
