5.00Very informative activity with rich, interesting and useful information. Glad that we booked it and consumed it all. Alexander Nevsky cathedral is superb with this activity because you get to know so much.
Scam

1.00It's a scam. There's no guide or anything. The cathedral is free and they only give you a PDF of 2 sheets for you to read. NOT recommended.
Is the icon of sofia

3.00The tour is not an actual audio with headphones. It’s a pdf that is downloaded. Information is very good.
If you are in Sofia, it is worth seeing

1.00When we arrived there was not an English speaking person. Nobody was able to help us. We paid for a tour and did not receive one. I hope they will refund our money. We got the same experience as anyone who walked in. I would not recommend this tour.
