Great monuments - It is a capital with very large buildings and monuments and many cathedrals and churches are worth kicking but always looking at the ground because there are places that are very bad lack much maintenance

Educated guide who knew his history - Tour had a lot of depth and the guide was excellent. I just wished we went to a few more places other than religious sites. I needed to see and understand more about Sofia.
