Really well thought out and run tour. Daniel our guide had a huge group to contend with (c.40) and some really tricky attention seeking participants who he handled well. Really knew his stuff and brought it to life. Tour includes a loo and coffee stop.
Eventually we got rained off but still an excellent tour
Only downsides was the huge group which meant the tour ran over time

The guide was very knowledgeable about Sofia's socialist/communist history and he helped to bring it to life by relating the stories to the locations we visited. It was fascinating to find out about that period in the city’s history. The tour includes a short toilet/coffee break, which was useful. I highly recommend this tour!

The tour is free with the option of giving a donation at the end. Very knowledgeable guide and a good way of getting to know the city. Highly recommended.

Three plus hours tour through different monuments from the communist era. Our guide, Vasil, was very knowledgeable and answered many questions throughout this interesting tour. Highly recommended, for teenagers aa well.

We joined David on a 3.5 hour guided walking tour of Sofia with an emphasis on Communism and its history , impact Bularian history and its architecture/monuments.

David was very informative and went out of his way to ensure most , if not all of our small groups questions were answered. The tours is operated by 365 Ltd. He allowed a 20 minute break for a coffee and comfort stop. He gave us a great oversight of his country and city.

By far the best night we’ve had in Sofia, you get talking to people from all over the world, you get a few free drinks included and you get to see some really interesting bars that you definitely wouldn’t find yourself. The hosts were great and made it really enjoyable, and it only cost 20 lev! I would 100% do this again when I’m next in Sofia.

We did the tour on the 27th of April 2019, we had a wonderful time! We learned a lot about the communtist era and how people lived during that time. The tour lasted around 2,5 hours and we walked around the city centre. Our guide was excellent, he told us a lot of interesting facts and some personal experiences. He was very nice and we felt like it was more like a friendly walk and conversation than a typical tourist tour. We highly recommend it!

If you really want to feel the Sofia night scene from a non tourist perspective do this tour. Rally and the team were awesome and kept the night really fun and insightful. We went to bars and clubs that you would never find walking around the city.

This is not your typical pub crawl. There are bars for everyone with great history and all kinds of personality. We were in a group of around 20 and it didn’t feel crowded and the guides made time for each and everyone of us.

Ending up in the club at the end of the night is a good touch as you can then make the choice to extend your night with new found friends.

Honestly a must do if you really want to say you experienced Sofia

I have travelled extensively for 40 years. 700 flights, 50+ countries.

I have to say this one of the very best tours I have ever been on. The guide had an intimate knowledge of what is a specialist subject. He educated and entertained us for almost three hours and was happy to answer other more general questions.

If you are interested in the transition from communism to democracy in Central and Eastern Europe I can highly recommend this tour. HIGHLY!
