Free Sofia Tour Review

Very nice, clean, nice restaurants, good reception, good nightclubs, club 33, plazza, etc.
Beautiful 3 bedroom apartment in Networking in the center. Taxi cheap and available.

We had a great tour with Mitko, he has great historic knowledge of the city and gladly answered any of our questions. I can highly recommend!

The experience with Viky has been great ... On top of a girl's chocolate.

Highly recommended. Even I as a local learned some things I didn't know about my city. It's short focused on the most important places downtown, it's fun and it's free. Do tip the guide though.

Fantastic tour to get aquatinted with the city and get a historical background to the people and culture if Sofia. Our guide Kris was very knowledgeable as well as humorous. Strong recommendation.

Walking tours are always the best way to start your trip in a new city, but this was easily my favorite one from recent memory. Anina was super!

I was in Sofia for a week and went on two walking tours. Hilarious and informative tours with local guides around this fascinating city. Every day of the year, no matter the weather. I highly recommend.

Tommy is a great tour guide. Well worth it to learn the history of Sofia.

It was a very nice tour through Sofia. Our Tour-guide was very entertaining guy and told us a lot about Sofia s history.

If you are in Sofia, then you should take the tour!!!

I participated in at least 10 free walking tours in Europe, this is undoubtedly the best in the world
Although the tour guide is a local, an American accent, a steady typhoon, and rich experience have made me continue to learn not only the location introduced by the tour guide, the culture and history of Paulia, the situation in the Balkan Peninsula, but also I see The enthusiasm of the locals for no return or even income is just to sell the country they love. I also want to return to Taiwan as a newcomer, trying to let everyone understand the historical status and culture, and tirelessly answer questions. I saw it all the time during the trip
Even if it is the same itinerary, I will definitely recommend all my friends who want to come to Europe to this place that makes me full of passion and patriotic sentiment. Without them, Sofia would only be a label for my many tourist locations, but this The free walking tour makes me want to come back in the near future. The 6 o'clock tour is not sunny, very comfortable, and you can also see the sunset. The route is perfect and you will not be embarrassed or you are walking. After you go, you will fully understand the history of Bulgaria. New Generation and old generation issues, food, and ultra-low enumerations, I will definitely be a guide next time I listen carefully, thank you for letting me fall in love here, thank you

I had the tour with Tommy, he is a very brilliant guide. We had a 2 hour long walking tour of Sofia and Tommy explained the history of the city very well. I would definitely recommend this walking tour .

Tks to demetar we discovered a lot about Bulgarian tradition and history. The tour is free and by foot,but it is a pleasure to give them money tin thanks t

Great Sofia tour organised by a group of fantastic people. When I first arrived in Sofia I thought it was a soulless city made of sad post communists blocks. I completely changed my mind about the city after this tour. Vasil, our tour guide, was very informative, smart and funny. He showed us city from different perspective and he gave a great input into history of Sofia. Our tour lasted about 2 hours, but it was quite chilled and slow-paced so it s suitable for those who are less mobile. I m aware that this group organises other tours in Sofia however our time was tight and we weren t able to join them. Thank you to the whole team from Tola and Damian (Poles from the UK)

After waiting for people to arrive until a certain hour, they walk the city to you, if you are a curious person like me, you will visit all the places you visited on the first day because Sofia is such a city that every place to visit is within walking distance and always bottom. Still, listening to the story of the city from the local is not a separate issue.

If you visit Sofia do the free Sofia tour. It s a must. Very enjoyable

Kris did a great job. This was my first time in Sofia and I learned a lot.

Professional and friendly guys who tell you lots of interesting things about the Bulgarian culture while taking you around. I really enjoyed it!

Excellent tour guide and excellent informative walking tour

We got told about this Free Tour from our hostel and we decided to join the one at 11 am. Our guide name was Svetla and she was simply amazing! She was really passionate about her city and managed to give us many interesting historical and more information, in an entertaining and fun way. This tour was definitely a great choice! It takes 2 hours in total and manages to show the most important buildings and churches in the city center. It is for free and at the end people can decide if giving a tip - she totally deserved it. Also, at the end of the tour Svetla stayed a bit longer so that people could ask her for any extra advice they wanted. Higly recommended.

The tour is amazing. Our guide was Nikola and his tour was full of interesting stories of Sofia and his humour was amazing which contributed to the amazing experience I had. I would definitely recommend taking a Free Sofia Tour.

This was only our second experience of a free walking tour (the first one being in Bratislava) and we absolutely loved it. We thought there wasn't much to see or knoow about in Sofia, which we quuickly realised was a very ignorant viewpoint and the free walking tours really helped in us understanding more about the city and the history of Bulgaria.

We did the Jewish Tour and the Free Walking Tour and our guides were both very entertaining and were able to answer all our questions very well. These free walking tours are amazing to find out more about a particular city or country and we honestly would've never found out anything about the Jewish history, how the name Sofia came about, or the geographical importance of the city in the past.

Our Free Sofia Tour guide was really interesting as she gave out free Bulgarian candies to us for answering questions correctly. We found that this helped us pay more attention throughout and everyone else also listened attentively.

Best way to discover the city and the history with a very nice guide !

I went on the tour at the recommendation of locals and Tommy was my fantastic tour guide. He gave us a nice two hour brief of the city's history with personality and it was interactive at some points which was very engaging.

Definitely follow when you visit Sofia. Wonderful tour with excellent guides.

2 hours long.
A lot of history, religion, politics and heritage.

Keep up the good work :))
Stanislav is awesome..

Alejandro, a very young guide but as he says "I provide motivation". He speaks Spanish very well and made the tour very enjoyable.

Our guide Slavyan was engaging, entertaining and very sociable - absolutely fabulous!!!
We were not sure, what could we do in 2 h of the tour, but time just flew and was the best tour I've attended (and it's free!)
Slavyan - you're amazing!!! Than you!

Great tour! They were well prepared because there was a lot of people but split us up into three groups each with a guide. Highly recommended!

The guides were knowledgeable and enthusiastic. (Plural because I went on three of their tours - Culture Tour with Viki, Communist Tour with Daniel, and Free Tour with Mitko.)

Definitely the best way to get a first view of the city's history and how that can be discovered through the buildings (and ruins) around the city centre. In the 2 hour tour you do not go into any of the buildings, but it does show you where you will want to go inside later. Our guide, Sveta, really loves her city and it showed in her enthusiasm to show it off to us!
On the next day we took the Free Jewish Tour with Slavyan. He is Jewish himself, born in Sofia and lived here all his life. So his tour of the history of the Jewish community in the city was really fascinating!

An excellent trip with a lot of self-humor about the conduct of the Bulgarians throughout history.
The guide Stanislav explains a lot with humor.
it was worth it

We had a great tour with our friendly and very well-informed tour guide Nikolai. The tour really concentrates and the highlights of the city and was never in a way boring. Also the recommendations were to find decent restaurants and bars helped me a lot. Free Sofia Walking Tour is definitely a must-do!

Our guide, Daniel, was excellent. I learned a lot, about history (Daniel has a degree in history) but also about local habits and Bulgarian traits. Great introduction to Sofia and Bulgaria.

What a great tour! Interesting and informative. Would highly recommend. Slavyan was a great guide.

I always enjoy the free tours in Europe, but this one was really special. Our guide Tomi(slav) was absolutely amazing, he was funny, charismatic, really friendly, had awesome stories and could answer every question he was asked!
Sofia is a beautiful city with an amazing history, so if you visit , the free tour is a must, and hopefully you'll have Tomi as a guide (or someone as good).

Wonderful experience and guide is very good and knowledge. A must do thing.

A really worthwhile experience, even for travellers who are tight for time. Well informed, charming guides bring the city s history to life. Tours offered: historical, Jewish presence and the communist era. Guide Daniel was the best!

Our guide Kristina was very cheerful even as the weather turned colder, and made an effort to kept all the clients involved. She knew all about the landmarks including recent and planned future changes. And I was impressed that she was able to answer all our tangential questions too. She is enthusiastic about her city and her organisation.

Very knowledgeable tour guide and lovely bunch of fellow tourists. We loved it.

Our guide Mitko was very impressive: he could even imitate some polotical famous people!

We visited Sofia on the weekend and tried to get best of it, so we decided to take a free tour in downtown and learn something new. Kris was our tour guide and he was really amazing! He gave us enough information, he was funny, willing to answer extra questions and length of the tour is long enough to stay focus and not get bored. We would recommend it definitely!

Mitko was a fantastic guide and I had a great time on the Free Sofia Tour today. A must for a great morning in Sofia with knowledgeable, fun guides with interesting bits of history and trivia

Perfect to know another wonderful European capital.
He has explained details that he did not know and very interactive at all times.
I recommend making one

Fantastic your with great guides who are passionate about what they do. Thanks a lot!

Excellent tour. Guid was fantastic. Thank you Mitko

Fab tour with Mitko! Very interesting and professional approach!! Thank you!

Great, both the General and Gastronomic Tour (Balkan Bites, also free) or the Pub Crawl where you get to know some of the most curious bars and pubs in Sofia (in the latter you pay 20 leva for person but drinks are included).

Fantastic guides, very attentive, in very affordable English.

Kris was great!! We took to tours and booth were very interesting and fun

Very informative, amazing guide. Must do activity for anyone visiting Sofia!

Brilliant brilliant brilliant. If you're new to Sofia check it out, why wouldn't you? I mean come on, it's free!!!

In the first place, the tour is free and in the end you can always give a contribution that will be based on how good the tour has been for you and what your pocket has the possibility to give, and just because of this it makes it perfect, because it fits the pocket of any tourist. The tour lasts about two hours (little more or less depending on the amount of questions that are generated). It is usually done by students with very good English, and if you are lucky with some other languages. I totally recommend it. The tour takes place every day at 11 am and at 6 pm, the meeting point is the courthouse, just where the vitosha boulevard begins / ends

A great tour. The guides are so informative - much more so than a prepaid tour!

Absolutely, undoubtedly, the best tour in town. Our tour guide, Slavian, was wonderful and took us through town and Bulgarian history in the most fun and interesting way.
I recommend this tour to anyone coming to Sofia. Taking it right when we started our trip added a lot to it with Slavian's great tips and advices.

Highly recommend to take this tour from the day one so you know where to visit in Sofia... they are super.. as well Alexandra she was super funny as well well known love the tour with her

It was so great with Slavyan, he is very knowledgeable anf funny! I could know about the city Sofia, and not only the city but also the country! I had no idea where to go and what to do when I arrived Sofia but thanks to him, I could visit many places in Sofia! It was 2 hours of tour but I can't really count how many places I visited. It was really AMAZING, AMAZING. I would love to give him tips, but sadly, since I didn't exchange enough money from euro, I couldn't give him some tips. But again, your tour was AMAZING! So if I go to Sofia next time, I will take your tour again and give you lots of tips for sure! Thank you so much! Hope you earns lots of money without working hard

Great tour with guides that are knowledgeable and make the history of the city interesting and interactive.

Mitko is a charming and cool guide. He really loves his job :D It was fun to join his tour. Very interesting informations with personal details.

Svetla was very charming and told us a lot about the city and its history. Great tour to learn a lot about Sofia. Recommended for everyone new to Sofia.

Ottimo servizio gratuito! Guide giovani, simpatiche, disponibili e preparate!

Excellent free tour! The guides are young, nice, friendly and knowledgeable!
The tour lasts 2 hours, it's in english (easy)..at the end you can give a tip... Deserved!

Martin the best!

This is one of the best ways around to get to know Sofia. A very knowledgable guide takes you around Town on a walking tour, tells you all kinds of interesting things about the city and shows shows you many of the most interesting places to visit. You will not actually enter any of these places so try to keep track so you know where to come back to.

My guide passed by a few places without any explanation because he didn't think most people would be interested in them (like the Archeological Museum, which incidentally, is a wonderful place to visit) so make sure to ask questions.

At the end they will distribute discount passes. Don't forget to pick these up. Yes, the tour is free but they ask for a tip at the end. They deserve whatever they get.

Kris, our tour guide, gave a fantastic and engaging tour. The city has a stunning and rich history and walking through is a great way to learn about it.

We had a lovely free walking tour with Tommy. He was very knowledgeable and fun to listen to. It was a very hot day, so we were getting tired by the end of the tour and almost wanted to leave due to the heat, but he kept us interested and we were happy to stay until the end of the tour.

Cannot recommend this more! Our tour guide Alissa made two hours of wandering through the center fly by with interesting facts, history and funny remarks.

Great guides, teach the corners and encourage you to continue discovering Sofia with the other tours they offer. Great experience.

Highly recommended, about 2 hours of Tour where we could learn more about many aspects of Sofia.
The guide very nice and attentive.

Knowledgeable guides and great tour of Sofia center

The Tour was really great. Our guide, Kris, shared his knowledge about Bulgaria and Sofia history, showed us the most important and recognizable places of the city and also brought some great stories. Totally recommend! :-)

Really interesting and worthy tour with Victoria, a great and passionate guide !

Did the tour on the first day: you get a great impression of the main spots of the city and learn a lot of interesting facts to Sofia different / better to be able to look at.

The tour was definitely 3 h and was funny, exciting and interesting at the same time. Guide Niki was definitely very good. Has put a lot of effort for everyone and everything. Thanks, Niki!

Tour was great to understand in English. Recommended.

Just go and enjoy it for free!

I loved it!
A good way to get to know the city and find out more than what comes in the guides.
Not to be missed!
