Sofia Highlights 2 Hour Sightseeing Walking Tourmarraxk, Sep 2026
Great Tour through Sofia
Our tour guide was a really funny and nice guy. We saw a lot of Sofia in those 2 hours and he talked a lot about Bulgaria in general, its history and the communist pasts. All in all a great experience!

New York City
Plovdiv Small Group Full Day Guided Tour from Sofiathew193, Sep 2026
A Must-do Trip in Bulgaria
I can only recommend this tour. Plovdiv was a very charming city with many beautiful historic buildings. The K-place as it was called because of its harder pronounciation was also lovely. We were able to visit a merchants house whoch was both beautiful and interesting. The was a small entrance fee of 2,5 Euro per Person, but it was not mandatory to visit the house. There were also many interesting anecdotes by our guide Martin. I would recommend booking a guided tour, since you just get to know the places in a different way. I would have like a bit more time in Plovdiv, but I also loved the K-place, so I think this tour was the best compromis. The bus arrived in Sofia on time, as well. And pick up was on time. So all in all a great trip.

Experience Bulgarian Yogurt Tasting and Cultural Historyfrancescag211, Sep 2026
5/5 experience for anyone visiting Sofia
We had a wonderful experience sampling various yogurts with Nadya and her son. We learnt so much about Bulgarian folklore, history, and they gave us some great tips of things to visit/see around the city. They were both really passionate about their subjects and extremely knowledgeable. The banitsa and cake were also delicious! and Really recommend this to any visitor coming to Sofia. Thanks again, both!

Magnificent excursion.
It was a superb day, really a must-do if you are in Sofia!
The shuttle is very convenient and the staff is great, very friendly, helpful, very good communication with clear instructions. (special mention to Philip).
The trail is great, several possible paths so it is suitable for all skill levels. And the monastery is truly wonderful.
A day not to be missed, go for it!

Bulgarian Rose Aromatic ExperienceB5494SYclaudiag, Aug 2026
An essential experience in Bulgaria
Super pleasant and highly recommended experience. The staff is charming, and to our surprise, we were able to do it in Spanish thanks to Nia, who speaks it very well. We tried a selection of cosmetic and food products made with roses, while they explained their history and tradition in a very interesting way. They are honest and do not pressure you to sell you anything. Without a doubt, an experience that is very worth doing in Bulgaria and that should be better known.

New York City
Stone Forest and Aladzha Monastery Experienceskyn378, Aug 2026
Must to go
The entrance is free. The Forest Stone is a spectacular place with a very special energy and view. These stones are believed to be around 50 million years old, but unfortunately, they are not well maintained. There is also not enough information about the history and importance of the site for visitors.This UNESCO heritage site deserves much better care and protection.
This is a wonderful place when you can connect with nature and recharge your energy.There are also some stray dogs and cats around the areas. I hope that visitors can help by buying foods (no shops nearby) and giving them food when you are traveling.

Experience Bulgarian Yogurt Tasting and Cultural HistoryYolanda_NoMundo, Aug 2026
History bulgarian lesson through yogurt!
Really nice. One of the boys has a history degree and he explains and gives you a resumé of bulgarian history through yogurt history. Also about the bulgarian traditions. It is a family business that deserves support...mom prepares the cupcakes (delicious) and the products (some homemade by her and others from local producers). Everything is good. Really nice and interasting. They are super polite, educated, well informed and funny.
