★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 141 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $183Our pick

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…”
