Wonderful experience in Sofia - I loved this tour with our more than knowledgeable tour guide Methodiy. He was great and extremely friendly. He answered to questions about the history of Bulgaria and explained everything perfectly! We loved him! I was left absolutely astonished by the history and beauty of the bulgarian capital and it's religious sites. Καταπληκτικός ξεναγός ο Μεθοντιυ.
Τον συνιστώ ανεπιφύλακτα και αυτό το τουρ φυσικά!

Excellent tour - Peter was not only knowledgable, but also personable-qualities you want in a tour guide. I learned so much and was able to see/understand so much more than any book could provide. I’d recommend this to anyone curious about the rich history of Sofia and Bulgaria.
