Great Tour of Sofia
I had a fantastic walking tour of Sofia with Chavdar. He brought the city to life with fascinating stories, great local knowledge, and plenty of humor. We covered all the must-see sights without the tour ever feeling rushed. His English was excellent, and his energy and enthusiasm made the whole experience fun and engaging. Highly recommended if you want to discover Sofia with a great guide.

Chavdar gave us a tour with a lot of background information and an good overview of the complex influences to the Bulgarian society and the history of the country and especially Sofia.

Excellent tour, Chavdar is an amazing tour guide
Brilliant tour and all thanks to Chavdar. His knowledge of Sofia and Bulgaria is incredible and he tells it so well. He is relaxed, engaging and puts everything into an understandable and relatable context. I learnt so much about Sofia and Bulgaria today, much more than I’d ever learn from a guide book or the web. Thank you Chavdar ????
