“Fantastic walking tour of Sofia! ”
Ivan our guide made the city come alive with their knowledge of history, culture, and traditions. He shared fascinating stories, showed us key landmarks, and even introduced us to Bulgarian food among other interesting places to visit. It was informative, fun, and felt personal—like exploring with a local friend. If you’re visiting Sofia, this tour is a must! You’ll learn so much and have a great time doing it. Thank you Ivan!!!

“Very satisfied with the tour”
Hello team, We are very satisfied with the tour. It was very interesting for our guests from Germany as well as for us from Sifia. As locals we learned a lot of news and curious details. The city tour is long enough - we were not tired at all afterwards, and shows the historical beauty and importance of the city. Ivan is very friendly, speaks perfect German and is flexible with time - we spent almost half an hour walking and he was absolutely tolerant. I would recommend the city tour.
