Really good and a must while in Sofia or around - Very informative activity with rich, interesting and useful information. Glad that we booked it and consumed it all. Alexander Nevsky cathedral is superb with this activity because you get to know so much.

Vititing Sofia for a week. It is worth a longer visit! - A lot of valuable information about the history of Bulgaria. Our guide Dimitri was very well informed and gave us the whole historic panorama. For people interested in history really a good experience.

If you are in Sofia, it is worth seeing - Beautiful cathedral, a spectacular square, but as soon as you enter, you really see the Byzantine art a show I recommend it to all visitors who are in Sofia

Good information - The tour is not an actual audio with headphones. It’s a pdf that is downloaded. Information is very good.

Scam - It's a scam. There's no guide or anything.
The cathedral is free and they only give you a PDF of 2 sheets for you to read.
NOT recommended.

Disappointed - When we arrived there was not an English speaking person. Nobody was able to help us. We paid for a tour and did not receive one. I hope they will refund our money. We got the same experience as anyone who walked in. I would not recommend this tour.
