Hi and welcome to Bulgaria!

I’m a professional English-speaking local guide based in Veliko Tarnovo, offering private tours, day trips, and tailor-made journeys throughout Bulgaria.

I specialize in creating engaging, well-paced experiences for individual travelers and small groups, focusing on authentic stories, local culture, and hidden gems beyond the usual tourist routes.

I studied at an English Language School and hold a Bachelor’s degree in Tourism and a Master’s in International Tourism from the University of Veliko Tarnovo. Combined with several years of hands-on guiding experience, this allows me to create informative, relaxed, and memorable experiences adapted to each traveler.

I look forward to showing you Bulgaria!
