Visiting Sofia is a journey through almost 10 000 years of history. On a guided walking tour of the city you can learn how it is built on land that has been settled over the centuries by Thracians, Romans, Huns and others. Marvel at its well-preserved monuments and outstanding sites, such as the East Gate of Serdika. You can experience the city's laid-back charm as you explore the delicious traditional Bulgarian food, such as Shopska salad and grilled meat with spices from the local cuisine.

“Tour to Sofia, Rila Monastery, Plovdiv and Veliko Tarnovo”
We had Snezhanka as our guide for 4 days starting with a guidet tour in Sofia. We had a good korrespondance before our trip. Snezhanka organized that we could visit both the Synagogue and Boyana Church. Second day she went with us to Rila Monastery, where we were introduced to a speciality like a donut, and she arranged a lunch for us at the river. She went with us to Plovdiv where she arranged a dinner for us. For the guided tour in Plovdiv on the 3. day she had arranged a private guide. We were a bit surprised that we had to pay him 100 Euro extra. We had the information about this in the evening on the 2. day just before bedtime. We would have liked to know about this extra cost before we made the contract. I will mention that the guide was doing a very good job. On the 3. day we went on to Veliko Tarnovo. Snezhanka arranged a dinner for us. We were hoping to see the light show on the fortress, but Snezhanka couldn’t find the way to the restaurant, so unfortunately we missed the show. It was quite disappointing for us. On the 4. day in Veliko Tarnovo we had another local guide without paying extra. She also did a great job. Snezhanka had arranged a great winetasting event for us in Veliko Tarnovo, before we went back to Sofia.
