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 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!

Perfect intro to Sofia and great tour! - Peter is informative, friendly & fun. He introduced us to places & local food we wouldn’t have discovered on our own. And was happy to answer any questions. It was the perfect start to our trip to Sofia.

Hidden gems! - We met Peter at the arranged place and when the lovely family of three Italians arrived we set off on our tour. The pace was perfect, the sights were beautiful and Peter was such an informative gentleman. After the walking had finished we endured up in a small traditional bar where we continued our conversations over local beer and wine with cheese and cured meat. A thoroughly enjoyable evening! Thank you Peter!
