Hidden gems! - We met Peter at the arranged place and when the lovely family of three Italians arrived we set off on our tour. The pace was perfect, the sights were beautiful and Peter was such an informative gentleman. After the walking had finished we endured up in a small traditional bar where we continued our conversations over local beer and wine with cheese and cured meat. A thoroughly enjoyable evening! Thank you Peter!

Awesome walking tour with Peter - It was just my husband and I but Peter ensured we had an amazing tour. It’s very interesting listening to his story and his perspective as a local. We learned so much from him. The weather was very hot during the tour so he took us on a tram to get us out of the heat. He also took us to his favorite bar and enjoyed beer, fried cheese and chicken. Peter made sure we were having fun.

Peter was such a... - Peter was such a wonderful guide. I was the only person on the tour so he adjusted itinerary due to the fact I had already visited several items on the itinerary. He had a great understanding and knowledge of history including the communist period. Our last stop was a bar/restaurant right out of the communist sixties. Beer was great and so was the fried cheese. You had a choice of wine or beer. I would highly recommend his tour

Highly recommend! - We learned a lot about Romania from our guide Peter. He shared Romanian history as well as how it affected his own family. We went to places where we would not have gone without him. We enjoyed the wine and the appetizers that came with it. Overall , a great experience. I highly recommend that you take a tour of Sofia with Peter. We plan on doing a wine tasting tour with him when we come back to Romania.

Unforgettable Tour with Peter – A Hidden Gem in Sofia! - My wife and I were visiting Sofia in December 2024 and spontaneously looked for something fun, tasty, and unique to do. Among all the options, we found Peter—and what a great choice it was! He personally emailed us to explain the tour's purpose, and we ended up doing a 3-hour walk with a few tastings and tons of fascinating info. He took us to places we would never have discovered on our own. We clicked so well that after the tour, we even stayed for beers just for fun. Writing this a bit late—but better late than never. Thank you, Peter! ❤️
