Of course there were some interesting buildings but nothing super spectacular. Lots of walking (almost five miles all in). The literature indicated a private air conditioned vehicle would be utilized with a number of drivebys and a number of stops but no vehicle showed up for us and the operator said it was because our hotel was near city center. We would not have booked this tour if we knew it would be a walking tour for 4 hours. The guide was pleasant and knowledgeable so no complaint there, its all on the operator. Some of the ancient ruins were interesting but government and university buildings were not so interesting.

Stoyan is an amazing guide, knows a lot about the history of Bulgaria and the buildings in the central city. Very candid in his conversations which we truly appreciated. We had a very short window in which we wanted to get this same day trip arranged at a time which worked for us based on other commitments later in the evening. What a stupendous job done by the tour company! We highly recommend this tour if you have a limited time and you want to explore Sofia. Thorough professionals and meticulous planning. Five stars all the way!

My sixteen year old son and I were recently in Bulgaria. Since it was our first visit, we decided to sign up for a private walking tour of Sofia which turned out to be an excellent decision. Our very knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide, Martin, introduced us to the important sights of the city skillfully tying them into the long and complicated history of Bulgaria. As an Archaeologist, I was particularly interested in visiting the ancient remains of Serdica which we explored despite the thick covering of snow. I'm only sorry the Archaeology Museum was closed, but it gives me a good reason to come back! Another highlight of the day was our visit to the Boyana Church with its spectacular frescoes. We finished up our grand tour with a delicious lunch at what Martin described as a typical Bulgarian Restaurant. Our favorite dish rather unexpectedly was the tripe soup which I highly recommend. Overall, our brief sojourn in Bulgaria was great. Everyone was very helpful and friendly, there is a lot to see, and the food is excellent Thank Martin, Viator, and VisitBulgaria. Charles
