★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 141 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $183Top rated

A 2-hour private walking tour of Sofia with an English-speaking guide, from Saint Nedelia and ancient Serdica to Alexander Nevski.

“We recently enjoyed a 2-hour city center tour of Sofia with Vasil, and it was a highlight of our stay. Although we had been exploring the city center on our own for the past two days, Vasil brought the history and culture of Sofia to life in a way we hadn’t experienced. His deep knowledge, backed by his academic background in tourism, made the tour both informative and engaging. Vasil was exceptionally friendly and enthusiastic, and his passion for the city was contagious. My wife and I learned so much during our time with him. We highly recommend Vasil for anyone looking to explore and truly understand the majestic city…”

Un guía encantador y muy profesional. Después fuimos a un restaurante en la montaña donde cenamos y pudimos ver unos bailes típicos. Estuvo bien, pero algo caro para lo que ofrecen.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 9 reviews · 3 hours (approx.)

3-hour private Sofia walking tour of central landmarks plus a traditional breakfast of banitsa, ayran, kozunak, and mekitsa.

“Our guide was fantastic, very knowledgeable and accommodating, we saw areas that we had not previously seen and were really pleased with this aspect of the tour. However we did not get a 3 hour tour as advertised, ours only lasted for two hours and we didn't get any 'breakfast, food tasting or beverages' which was really disappointing, we were glad we had something to eat before we started the tour. This was no fault of our guide's, he was unaware of this when we questioned him about it.”
