Fun Christmas Activities in Sofia (Updated 2026)

Dimitar was a great and generous guide. I learned a lot about history, culture and both Sofia and Bulgaria in general. This tour is a good starting point for continuing exploration of the city, and the booklet of recommendations helps you make good choices. I appreciated not having to stop at a café or restaurant, as some guides do, because it allowed to maintain the momentum of the visit.

The guide was very good. He was very entertaining, he also had a very good knowledge of the history of Sofia and he was able to answer all queries. We really enjoyed the tour

Yordan was an exceptional guide. Great outdoor skills, very personable, matched hike pace to the group. Knowledge of history and culture was a tremendous addition. All in all very good trip and glad I came. Bulgaria is a beautiful country Thank you very much

Very good experience! Our guide looked out for us, the information was good from the guide!! Nothing to complain.

Super excursion! There is a lot of good information about the monastery and the hike during the bus ride. Very well organized! Thank you very much Philip!

Superb experience! I recommend it! The guide Philip explained every step to us. The instructions were precise and very much appreciated for fully enjoying the moment, thank you very much!

The tour is very worthwhile. It is essential to see the Monastery and the Boyana Church. Special mention to the guide Pablo who gave us the explanations with professionalism and expertise. Very kind and attentive at all times to our needs.

The tour covered all the main areas and allowed time for entry into the churches and finished just on time for the change of guards! Audio guides made sure you heard everything and having the guide lead you with occasional comments and guiding ensured it all went smoothly!

Thanks to Svet for guidance and infos

Marina the hostess provided a fun and interesting presentation on the Bulgarian Rose, we learned a lot about the process of making oil, perfume, tea, jam and chocolate from the rose. we were able to sample chocolate, jam and sweets with Rose tea. Would highly recommend this experience.

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.

Aelita is super friendly . She makes you feel Comfortable for pictures and is interesting to speak too. Would recommend .

Very informative and interesting tour. I need to put more characters! This is getting dull and am thinking of aborting!

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.

This tour gave us a much better understanding of the history and culture of both countries. We loved that it wasn't just about checking off famous landmarks, the guide also shared local stories and recommended places to try traditional food.The pace was comfortable, the accommodations were good, and the scenery along the drive was beautiful. Looking back, it was one of the most enjoyable trips we've taken in Europe.

From the first day to the last, everything was handled professionally. Transportation was comfortable, the hotels were well chosen, and the itinerary included a great mix of famous attractions and quieter places.We especially appreciated having enough time to enjoy each stop instead of feeling rushed. If you're considering exploring Romania and Bulgaria, this tour is an excellent choice and offers a wonderful balance of history, scenery, and local culture.
