Mihail R.
Hello! I would like to welcome you to Sofia and Bulgaria! Since 2008, I have organised a wide range of international events, including conferences, seminars, and official delegations' visits to the country. It is for this reason that I have started guiding. By doing this, I not only offer high-quality services but also share my passion for Bulgarian history, traditions, politics, and economics, as well as how Bulgarians are connected to the rest of the world. A few words about Sofia and Bulgaria: Sofia was a Roman provincial capital and played a significant role in the first centuries of Christianity. The city is situated along the Via Militaris (aka Via Diagonalis) from Antiquity through the twentieth century. In the fifteenth century, the Ottomans chose it as the capital of Rumelia, i.e., their Balkan provinces. For this institutional tradition, Sofia remained the capital of the re-established Bulgarian principality in 1879. Over the last 140 years, it has experienced economic and demographic expansion. You may discover all these historical facts and the enticing tastes of wine and rakia with me... Any of the tours I offer can be customised upon request, with visits to towns such as Plovdiv, Veliko Tarnovo, Samokov, Melnik, or the Rila Monastery, or a combination of these and many more, and can include religious sites, traditional restaurants, and limited-production wineries. I try to accommodate weekend tour requests because I have a full-time job during business days. The languages I offer tours in are English and Russian. I hold a tourist guide license issued by the Ministry of Tourism of the Republic of Bulgaria, valid for the territory of Bulgaria, and a standard unrestricted driving license (Bulgarian classification: Class B).
