Details About Sofia

Sofia is an ancient city, built on the ruins of the Roman settlement known as Serdica. In the centuries since then it has grown and matured, to become a busy, colorful metropolis filled with the cultures of many people and many ages. On my Sofia day excursions, and full Sofia tours, we’re going to take a closer look – getting under the skin of this fascinating city, and enjoying everything that it has to offer!

In Sofia you’ll find theatres and parks, ancient ruins, striking architecture, beautiful churches, sports grounds, concert halls and museums… all in the shadow of the mighty Mount Vitosha. There’s so much to do in Sofia, it would be impossible to list – everything from ballet to mountain hiking, from exploring traditional markets to watching world class DJs at exclusive nightclubs. And when you choose me as your guide for a Sofia one-day tour or excursion, you’ll always have full control over what you see and do.

We can do Sofia in a day, if you like – a fast-paced tour taking in a sample of everything, to give you a quick and intense taste of what this colorful city is all about. Otherwise, we could plan a longer Sofia tour for your group… settling into the local pace of life, to really understand what it’s all about!
