I book tours through Viator all the time and usually have great success. This was supposed to be a private walking tour. When I booked it, my booking details said that the tour operator would reach out to me with the start time of the tour. I waited and waited but nothing. So the day before the tour, I reached out to the operator, who said I was supposed to have contacted THEM! This was not written in my booking details; in fact it was the opposite, that they would contact me. So when I talked to them, the only time they had available to start a 3 hour walking tour was 6:30 PM at night. I could not do this, so I told them I would have to cancel. They said I should reach out to Viator for a refund, which they would approve. When I returned from my trip, I contacted Viator for the refund, mentioning that the operator said they would approve the refund. Viator flat out denied my refund, even though their misinformation was the reason the tour didn't happen. So I just lost the full amount of the tour when the reason for not being able to do it was fully the fault of Viator. I'm not impressed with their poor customer service.

It was perfect! Our tour guide was funny, smart, pleasant, patient and made the tour very enjoyable. Pavlina, was just awesome, what more can I say! If you are going to use this company, make sure she is your guide. Her English is great.

I got this as a surprise from my man. Private walking tour of Sofia for the fraction of the price. We had Yordan as our guide - super professional local. Also a historian! Young guy knowing it inside out and telling it in an interesting way. Super nice almost four hours. We tipped him :)

I could walk at my own pace but nothing that I could’ve not done myself! Whatever information was sent is available on Google and google maps! Why pay for the information? If you can do your own research then no point in paying!

Stoyan was great company and very informative. We visited all the cultural sights and everything was explained in its historical context t.

I attended the private tour around the city center of Sofia and I liked it a lot. It lasted 2.5 hours

AmrMulla2027

I have enjoyed the walking tour .. it was just awesome in a way that it brings the history along with the present of Sofia and Bulgaria. The guide was very knowledgeable and talking from her heart about her country and also provide some useful information that we cannot find in books or Google. Talking and walking was a very pleasant experience in Sofia and I really recommend this to new visitors to start with it the first day so they can then plan for their stay in Sofia accordingly.
