Excellent introduction to Sofia - In every city we visit, we always make sure to join a free walking tour, and our overall impression of the city depends a lot on how the tour was. On Saturday, we joined a tour with Niki, and even though Sofia isn’t usually considered a top destination at first glance, this was one of the best free tours we’ve experienced in Europe. Niki is enthusiastic, funny, and very knowledgeable. We also received a great guide with suggestions on what to see in Sofia, and following his recommendation, we visited The Red Flat museum, which is fantastic. This tour should be the first thing you do when you arrive in Sofia. Highly recommended! Greetings from a family from Zagreb!

Highly recommended for a first overview of Sofia - The tour was very interesting, and our guide Nelly was wonderful. It was her first free tour, and she made it fun, engaging, and very dynamic. We loved discovering Sofia with her, and we highly recommend it to get a general overview of the history of the city and Bulgaria.
