Great way to learn about Sophia - We had a very pleasant two hours exploring the city. We learned about the major landmarks in Sophia. As they are closely located to each other, the tour doesn't involve a lot of walking. Our tour guide, Vasil, was very knowledgeable. He explained things in an engaging and clear way. He was very organized and punctual. We were very glad that we did the tour. Strongly recommend it!
