Day trip through Sofia with Denitsa

5.00A one-day trip of Sofia that is well worth your time and money. Tour guide Denitsa and a driver picked me up from my hotel near the city center, where we then proceeded onward to the National History Museum. Denitsa is a highly-motivated guide, who is well-versed in the region’s vast history and has the educational pedigree to support this. Denitsa gave me a sound overview of the city and region's unique influence and culture dating back to the Byzantine, Baroque and Soviet-era. She made the trip enjoyable and deserved a special thanks (even introduced me to Bulgarian cuisine). -Carl

5.00AMAZING! Incredible guide and we wouldn't have seen half of Sofia if it hadn't been for him! I can't remember his name, but he was very well educated and knew English, Spanish, Russian and even some Turkish and Bulgarian obviously. He took us on a tour that was lay out perfectly to create suspense and it never got boring. Very professional and I highly recommend this tour!
