Excellent Intro to the City (through food) - Peter met us at the Nevsky Cathedral for this small group tour. He provided transit passes for us, and we began to take the tram through the city, stopping to try local dishes at a few locations. The foods ranged from cheeses, to breakfast foods, to more hearty plates. Along the way we also had Bulgarian beer, wine, and rakia. Each time, Peter explained the cultural context of the food or drink along with some history about Sofia. This was a great experience.

Excellent food tour - Lovely food tour with the very knowledgeable Peter who gave us great insights in the history and every day life in Bulgaria. Food and drinks were excellent - do come with an empty stomach as you will be eating quite a lot!

Great tour, good food! - Peter took us to restaurants we would never have found ourselves and we would not have ordered the food that way. It was very good!

Best day out - Do yourself a favour and if in Sofia do this tour with Petar. I just spent the day with him and the places he took me were amazing. Places a tourist would never find or they did not walk into to. Through the different neighbourhoods and even a couple of tram rides. And you get to keep your day pass to use up til midnight. The food I had was amazing and food that I would never think to try or even knew existed. I cannot recommend Petar enough, he was knowledgeable, funny and great fun to talk with and have a beer with. Thankyou Petar for an amazing day. Andy the Aussie

Peter was great, took us... - Peter was great, took us to delicious spots with lots of food, and was able to accommodate to everyone. He was passionate and you could tell how much he enjoyed what he did as well. He knew the history of the area well and gave good recommendations for the rest of the trip

Peter is an incredibly nice guide. He speaks very good English. - If you like Bulgarian food and drink as well as visit hidden gems this tour is for you. Here there is more focus on good mood than dry facts about Sofia's culture and origins

Great tour for authentic and nice dishes of Bulgaria - Leading a group of 6 people was not seem to be a problem for Peter on this tour, as he is very well organized, have a clear plan what menu to taste and what story to tell. Everything runs smooth without rushing. Peter leads us to some kind of hidden-gem restaurants, where normal tourist wont find them easily :). We cant remember all the drinks and dishes name, but all were fantastic and authentic. Thank you Peter, we wish you more success with your upcoming tours!
