Description

Experience Sofia through the eyes of your local guide, Peter. Step behind closed doors into historic university halls, hidden chapels, and architectural gems rarely seen by visitors. This is a personal, immersive tour that brings Sofia’s stories, culture, and secrets to life. Meet Peter, a passionate local who grew up in the city. Discover hidden corners, learn about iconic landmarks, and get insider tips on where locals really go — from cozy cafés and galleries to nightlife and cultural events. Explore Saint Sofia Church, the Rotunda of St George, and the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, Bulgaria’s largest. Walk among the ancient Roman Serdica ruins, visit a 16th-century mosque, and marvel at the City Synagogue, the third largest in Europe. Sofia is full of treasures tucked away in narrow streets, galleries, and bars. Step inside Sofia University “St Kliment Ohridski” and the National Library to see interiors most visitors never experience. This small-group walking tour (max 8) is fully guided and includes a City Card for the day — giving you tram or metro rides during the tour and the freedom to keep exploring after.
