“Peter was fantastic. Immensely professional, warm, and so generous with his knowledge and the effort he puts into this tour. You can tell how detail-oriented he is in how he crafted the tour route, and when the bites and drinks were offered. It was the perfect walking tour - a perfect mix of sights, history, culture, and glimpses into local life. I can't recommend this tour enough.”

Sofia Wine Walk is a private 2.5-hour evening tasting Bulgarian wines at three venues, with nibbles and stories from Pavlin.
“I had a wonderful time on this experience. We walked to two small and cozy wine bars and one restaurant. Each location was very unique and not a place I would have found on my own. We sampled two wines and had some snacks at each location. Pavlin, the host, is very knowledgeable on Bulgarian wines and provided a great deal of info on the subject. But was also had a great discussion of modern Bulgaria and his personal experiences. I highly recommend this tour!”
Sofia Bulgarian cooking class with market shopping, a church stop, and tastings of burek, dolmas, gyuvetche, and pumpkin pastries.
“I had great time taking the cooking class with Mariela. The experience started even before I arrived to the kitchen. I contacted her on WhatsApp and together we decided the time of day for the class, as well as tailoring the the three course menu to my preference. I got to learn a nice technique to slice an onion and loved the roasted vegetables salad. In addition of being a patient mentor, Mariela is an interesting person to talk to. Let her tell you about her vast experience as a cook, hotel manager, real estate person and her travles round the world. On the down side, we ended up with…”

A one-hour Bulgarian prime-cuts and wine tasting in Sofia, hosted by Rado. Organic meats, cheese, stories, and practical food tips.
“This was my introduction to sofia, as I had just arrived a few hours prior. Rado was fantastic. He runs a hostel and I met him at his bar area. A very cool spot w some unique artistic decor. The prime cuts and cheese were beyond amazing. The spicy sauce was so good I ended up buying his last bottle from him. He was an amazing host and gave me many enjoyable facts about bulgarian cuisine and some reccomendations on places to try. Highly reccomend this tour and I'm sure any other tours that Rado runs is also A+++!!!!”
