Excellent experience - The guide was really good and shared interesting information about the city and the country. The places that we visited were well chosen, as well as the route. Excellent organisation and flexibility in terms starting/ending point and time. It was an exciting experience for our guests and they liked the tour a lot,

Heart of Sofia - Chris is an excellent guide - knowledgeable and passionate about the historical and architectural material, and attentive to the needs of his guests.

My business customers and I very amazed by this privately-guided tour - That's truly the best walking tour I've ever taken with my business visitors in Bulgaria. Very knowledgeable local guide, interesting sights, off-the-beaten path with lots of information that you cannot read anywhere. Truly interesting and entertaining!

Took it with business customers again, its great! - We took our busoness customer on this tour. It was totally great and we were delighted as always. By the way we take it for the third time as this is the best walking tour with the most knowleadgeable guides in Sofia. We always take our business partners and spend the tour with them and they are very happy. We too because this tour is always updated and new, never the same one as before, always to learn something new. Bravo!

Sofia - Our guide Bobby was experienced and friendly person. Saw main centers had delicious ice cream. Small city, so not much to explore.

Disappointed - The guide, Vianka, was excellent . However, I think the price was outrages for a 2 hours walking tour. Shameful

Disappointing to expect a car tour and be given a walking tour instead - Though the guide was very good and informative, she didn’t have a vehicle and we had specifically reserved a driving tour with a “chauffeur” and also paid more for a driven tour so we ended up walking everywhere except for a short metro ride which we paid for in light of our mobility issues

When your private chauffeur doesn't show up with a vehicle!!! - Bait and switch. Paid for a "private chauffeured city tour", and got a very expensive walking tour. The guide was nice, but we didn't sign up for walking around the city.
