Booked for a small group tour but was lucky enough to be a group of two, so really a private tour. The guide (Deni) was great. She was very knowledgeable, took us to the Bells as an added extra and was a pleasure to spend time with (even though we did 15,000 steps!).

Peter was a great guide. He is a very knowledgeable tour guide and answered all our questions. The history museum has one of a kind artifacts located near the mountain. The city tour included seeing all the great historical sites of excavations and nice churches while learning the history of Bulgaria. Enjoyed the tour a lot.

Peter/Piotr was a fantastic tour guide. It was just the two of us, and I very much enjoyed the relaxing/laid-back pace of the tour in and around Sofia, while providing very informative and personal insight to every location we visited that I otherwise wouldn't have been able to learn on my own.

We enjoyed our day with Peter very much. He was knowledgeable and flexible so we saw what we wanted to see. I would strongly recommend this tour…

The tour operator canceled my tour at 10pm the night before. I was refunded my money but it was too late to book anything else. They didn't call, text, or contact me in any way, just canceled through Viator.

Maria was the absolute perfect tour guide of Sofia. She brings such a welcoming presence, passion and friendliness to the tour and her city. There were only 2 of us so it was very special. The tour was full of beautiful, historic sites and we could even make request. The lunch place was stunning and very nice food. Even with the cold snow we had an incredible day and got some amazing photo’s. Thank you Maria!! Your Nottingham friends xx
