Vania’s deep knowledge of the city’s history, culture, and hidden gems truly brought Sofia to life. Her engaging storytelling and personable nature made the tour both informative and enjoyable. From exploring historic landmarks to discovering local favorites, every moment was thoughtfully curated. Vania’s passion for Sofia is infectious, and I left with a greater appreciation for this vibrant city.

What I love about Bulgarians is their passion, and Vania is no exception. Her knowledge, friendliness and honesty is second to none. I’d did a bit of touring of Bulgaria in the week before, but it’s always nice to have a local bring you around and explain the ‘sights and sound’. In conclusion, recommended especially if you prefer tour groups in small numbers.

Vania was a warm and friendly guide. She took personal interest in each member of the group taking time while walking to share extra info that people were interested in. She kept the tour moving at a perfect pace and had many interesting facts as well as stories to share and her own personal perspective and experience. We have done many of these and Vania was wonderful!
