Great experience

5.00Peter was not deterred by the fact that I was the only person who booked the 9am tour, in fact he made extra effort to tailor the tour to my interests, bringing me to many temporary exhibitions by Bulgarian artists that were not in the original plan. He showed me many historical and local spots that I surely would not have found on my own, explained lots about the history of Sofia and we had lovely chats throughout. Peter is a great, helpful guide to have on your first day in the city.
A great way to get acquainted with Sophia!

5.00This is the perfect way to get acquainted with Sophia in a short amount of time. Peter is extremely knowledgeable and helpful at the same time, which was great for first-time visitors like us. In addition to seeing all of the important points of interest in central Sophia, we learned a lot about the history of the area. We highly recommend this tour and this tour guide.
Absolutely great to discover Sofia!

5.00Peter has brought us closer to this city in a wonderful way. As a very personal companion, he was absolutely competent and fully responsive to our individual needs and questions. We've seen sides of the city through Peter that would have otherwise certainly escaped us. Time flew by and we can now really confirm that Sofia is definitely an interesting destination.
Must tour to see the city!!

5.00I did a 3-hour walking tour of old Sofia with Peter, and it was the best tour experiences I’ve ever had. He is very patient and energetic and I have learned a lot history from him and you can see his passion.

5.00We did a 2 hour tour of Sofia with Peter and really enjoyed the experience. His knowledge is vast, and we had a great time learning and asking lots of questions about the history and life in Bulgaria. Peter's English is excellent and he has a great sense of humour. There is so much more to Sofia than meets the eye. Thank you, Peter for sharing your knowledge. Highly recommend this tour!
Amazing walking tour

5.00It was very interesting walking tour. I’ve been in Sofia many times but know new facts from our guide. We get inside university and library, beautiful places. Our guide knows a lot of facts and you can ask him about any topic about Bulgaria
