    Great experience for all ages!
    Wonderful experience for the whole office and the occassion. We started with a walking tour with a local guide and then we moved on in a traditional Bulgarian restaurant where we saw the show and enjoyed it a lot! Very delicious food!

    Theodore is an amazing guide and the whole experience was very well organized. The scenery was beautiful and the path challenging enough to make it very interesting.

    Relaxing vacation
    This is actually to Jan Hundreiser. Don't know any other way to send a message just to you. Today I wrote 2 other reviews. All is good. Love HR Riv Maya. I forgot to mention this, but since I just read of the same problem in other reviews - I thought I had better mention this. We had 2 Pres.Suites. In ours (Bldg 5, 2nd floor) - the larger Master Bedroom really really smelled musty and moldy. After you were in it awhile it was not as noticeable. I kept requesting the cleaning person to keep filling up the scent thing in the bathroom, and she did (thank you) The 2nd bedroom did not seem to have the same issue. It was very noticeable, as you first entered the large doors into the living room - but more so once you entered the master bedroom. First day, I mentioned it to front desk, and they sent someone to spray all around the floor with some kind of 'scent' to mask it. But that didn't last. I was a little worried as we slept there nightly, hoping it didn't affect our lungs somehow. Also - something new - the only way to keep the A/C running in the Master Bedroom and Living Room areas, was to keep those large 2 doors from the foyer into the Living Room closed. If someone left them open by mistake, A/C went off - and it got hot. I don't remember that in years past, so perhaps that is something new. We usually like to leave one door to the L.R. open so that guests (family) staying in the 2nd bedroom didn't feel 'shut out.' Anyway - wish there was a way to just send this to Jan Hundreiser, because I didn't want to post it on T.A. I'm not really complaining, but offering you some information so that perhaps you can look into what is causing the musty/moldy odor problem, since I saw the same 'issue' on other posts. Having your room for a week, smelling musty or moldy is not fun. Thanks for your help.

    Unforgettable Ride In The Mountains
    Amazing experience! We were visiting on business and thought mountain biking would be a great stress relief and fun way to see more of Sofia. It was very muddy when we went and the trail was a little more challenging than we had anticipated, so we had to walk a few times, but it was still a lot of fun. Never felt unsafe. And our guide Theodore was amazing! He shared some interesting facts about the mountain range, took videos of us riding on the trail, and stopped at each scenic lookout and waterfall along the way. Trail dropped out to a quaint little village area with restaurants and shops. We enjoyed lunch before heading back to our hotel. If you are looking to connect with nature, find beautiful scenic views and lots of fresh air, then this adventure is for you! Was an unforgettable experience I would recommend to everyone!

    The private tour in Sofia which is a must
    Absolutely fantastic local guide Yordan! We took half of the tour on foot and then we used the vehicle. If you ask me what i prefer, it depends - in our case it started to rain and we needed it as we had it in the booking. Super reccommending this operator! We made a lot of tours in Bulgaria with VisitBulgariaOn and all of them delivered great quality and value for money.

    An avsolute mist while in Sofia
    We wanted to experience the Bulgarian food and culture and we got it avsolutely right. We booked the self-guided trip option as we knew Sofia a bit. The restaurant was wonderful, the food delivious and the show was totally worth. Very delighted what we got! Recommend to everyone who wants to get to know Bulgarian culture, traditions and people.

My guide Stoyan had great local knowledge and gave me an insightful tour of Sofia. He was a very nice chap and we got on really well. It was pleasure to see his town and learn about the capital of Bulgaria.

I got this as a surprise from my man. Private walking tour of Sofia for the fraction of the price. We had Yordan as our guide - super professional local. Also a historian! Young guy knowing it inside out and telling it in an interesting way. Super nice almost four hours. We tipped him :)

I could walk at my own pace but nothing that I could’ve not done myself! Whatever information was sent is available on Google and google maps! Why pay for the information?

If you can do your own research then no point in paying!

Hello Krishna, thanks for your review. Not to mislead somebody with it I clarify the following: 1. You booked the self-guided option which does not include any live guide with you and transport; 2. All the information you received - the total guides notes for Sofia, audio guide and maps with the points of interests to follow are what the guide in the privately-guided tour option follows and explains; 3. You pay several times less and do it alone. That's a very preferred option for people who can orientate and be flexible to make the tour at any time they would like. You tried to make us do the privately-guided tour for the price of the self-guided but as you can understand that's not possible. We can always upgrade to the privately-guided tour if the customer pays the price difference. So, the self-guided option gives you total control and flexibility and that's why it's preferred by so many people already. Best regards, Hristo

I have enjoyed the walking tour .. it was just awesome in a way that it brings the history along with the present of Sofia and Bulgaria. The guide was very knowledgeable and talking from her heart about her country and also provide some useful information that we cannot find in books or Google.
Talking and walking was a very pleasant experience in Sofia and I really recommend this to new visitors to start with it the first day so they can then plan for their stay in Sofia accordingly.

I arrived in Sofia that day and only a few hours to see the main sights of the city. The affordable walking tour was great. My guide Yordan was friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. I saw the main sights and had a very enjoyable afternoon. I found VIP-Sliven Ltd a very reliable tour company. They sent me a confirmation email with the name of my guide and the time he would meet me. I would definitely recommend this tour.
