Great experience for all ages! - Wonderful experience for the whole office and the occassion. We started with a walking tour with a local guide and then we moved on in a traditional Bulgarian restaurant where we saw the show and enjoyed it a lot! Very delicious food!

An avsolute mist while in Sofia - We wanted to experience the Bulgarian food and culture and we got it avsolutely right. We booked the self-guided trip option as we knew Sofia a bit. The restaurant was wonderful, the food delivious and the show was totally worth. Very delighted what we got! Recommend to everyone who wants to get to know Bulgarian culture, traditions and people.

Way overpriced and underwhelming - I was very disappointed in this tour but the guide was great. She was lovely and shared great knowledge and history. The information given was misleading and for the price we paid, this tour seemed exceedingly lacking. First, it was a walking tour, no driver. So, it should be written as such. When we got to the first place on the tour, on the metro, it was closing in a few minutes. We barely saw the inside before they kicked us out because it was closing. All the other places were closed by the time we arrived and we didn’t make it to all mentioned sights on the tour. We had to grab a taxi to make it to the restaurant on time. The restaurant was fine, but the food was not worth the price either. The dancing was fun and neat to see. After the performance it turns into a dance party of modern dance songs. Overall, you see the outside of buildings, so it should not read admission is included as there are no admissions. Essentially it was WAY OVERPRICED and very under delivered.

It is not the tour you can see on... - <p>It is not the tour you can see on previous pictures. Dances lacked spirit and fire that's what Bulgarian folk music and dances are usually full of. The songs were not Bulgarian folk songs. They were mostly American or English hits e.g. Feelings, the food was not bad but for the amount we paid for this tour we could buy half of the market in Sofia. The guide and driver tried to please. After sunset you don't see much of Sofia. So the tour around Sofia was a waste of time. You don't see much in the darkness. I expected more from this tour.</p>

To avoid - Nothing panoramic given that if you do not take a private guide you have to visit everything by yourself on foot! Folklore show comes down to 5’ with 3 musicians! It’s really folksy derision!
Exorbitant price of 89€ when you know the cost of living in Bulgaria! 40 € is the reasonable maximum! Only positive the hearty and very good meal except that we finished the main course at 9pm, dessert is served at 11pm! Too much waiting and we left long before, believing it was done on purpose not to serve dessert! You can everywhere else make a great meal for 30€ grand max!
In summary, I strongly advise against this release which borders on scam!

tourist trap - This “Sofia Night Scenic Tour with Dinner and Folklore Show” was the worst experience ever booked. A real tourist trap.
First of all, no guide present: for hundreds of euros they only give you a PDF, without any real accompaniment. The description on the site is ambiguous and designed to mislead: if you do not understand the mechanism for “choosing the guide”, you find yourself screwed.
The restaurant is a classic tourist-catcher: poor food, very low quality, no Service. The “folk show” is nothing more than a cheap staging, far from the promised authenticity.
The level of professionalism is zero: rude staff, uncooperative and, most seriously, they left us alone in the evening without even helping us find a taxi. Three women abandoned at night, in a foreign country: simply crazy.
Outrageous Price quality ratio, absolutely disproportionate. This tour is deviously structured to draw money and not offer anything advertised.
A legalized scam that shouldn't even be sold on Viator. Avoid it at all costs.

Dont waste your money.. - Was suppose to have a private tour, but tour operator added 2 other traveler at the very last minute (but i paid the rate for private tour). Guide was less than knowledgable about the history, she simply red from her mobile phone (googlewikipedia). Paid for pick-up and return to my place, but when we got to the restaurant the guide just left us there (she had something else to do) and i had to call a taxi to be able to get back home.
