Great walking tour to see historical as well as modern pieces of art. We visited a number of museums and the host was quite knowledgeable about the history of the city and buildings. I’m an art fiend so I thoroughly enjoyed viewing it all in perfect weather. Sign up for this tour whether you’re an art collector or not - so much to see and learn!

Excellent tour with Yoannna who was able to provide a very informed commentary about the art we were viewing. Good sample of art from early ages to contemporary.

Informative tour of Bulgarian art moving through the ages. Joanna is well informed and provides background contextual information.

Great Art of Sofia! Perfect for your first day in the city! I will surely recommend to all my friends!

Don't have enough time to study every art installation or exhibiton going on in Sofia? Hop on a quick peek with intriguing guide into what bulgarian (and other) artists have to offer, accompanied by the bits and pieces of history, so it all falls into place in the end... And that's not the end! But no more spoilers :) The only limit is time. Of some things there's never enough.

On my third day in Sofia on my holiday from New York, I went on a tour of local art galleries with Nikoleta, who is a wonderful guide. She is extremely knowledgeable and fun, and the tour was excellent and I learned a lot. Thank you so much!
