Amazing tour! So informative and interesting. Hristo was great, super knowledgeable and accommodating to our needs (me being partially handicap with a walking disability) and our interests, cultural, social and historic.

The tour was organized very professionally and the tour company kept in touch all the time making sure everything was smooth. The guide Yordan showed a lot of enthusiasm and expert knowledge making the whole experience very enjoyable! He showed our group of 7 people all the main highlights of Sofia with the nice insider tips and interesting info which we expected. I definitely recommend it!

There are many church and museum in Sofia. 2.5h is the best walking tour with guide. He knows very well about history in Bulgaria!

<p>Valentin did a great job. We were late due to a GPS issue. He waited and then actually gave us a three hour tour. We learned a lot, and walked a lot. I felt we would not have gotten as good of a tour with a large group. This was only me and my wife. If you want a tour, this is the way to go.</p>

Die selbstgeführte Tour würden wir nicht nochmal so machen. Die Punkte auf der Google-Karte sind leider nicht durchnummeriert oder anders organisiert. Und die Beschreibung ebensowenig. Man muss suchen um die Sehenswürdigkeiten mit den Beschreibungen zu verbinden und es sind leider auch nicht zu allen Punkten Beschreibungen/Infos enthalten. So war der Rundgang leider sehr anstrengend und unentspannt. Das gilt aber ausdrücklich NUR für die selbstgeführte Variante. Die geführte Tour können wir nicht beurteilen.

Goede rondleiding gehad van een gids die op al onze vragen een antwoord had. Dus geen standaard praatje en standaard rondje, maar op maat. Veel geleerd van de cultuur, de geschiedenis en de mensen.

Cette visite consiste en un E-guide au format PDF qui vous est envoyé la veille. Le concept est bon, vous pouvez visiter le centre ville à votre rythme (nous avons bien pris entre 4 et 5h en prenant le temps et profitant des cafés). Le service était proposé en Français, nous avons donc pris cette option, plutôt qu'anglais. Je le regrette (je parle couramment anglais) car le texte contient pas mal d'erreurs rendant sa lecture parfois hasardeuse. C'est étrange car notre contact, très aimable, semble avoir un Français écrit parfait (échanges par SMS). Il serait également vraiment intéressant d'ajouter une photo de chaque lieu, afin de nous aider à l'identifier à chaque étape. Dans tous les cas, nous avons apprécier notre visite de Sofia qui nous a bien fait marcher !
