Peter was great. - Our guide Peter was excellent. He covered Bulgarian history, culture, architecture, and general facts. He paced his talk and his walking speed to our needs. He freely answered all of our questions and is generally just a nice guy.
We recommend him highly.

Walking tour of Sofia - Petar was a great guide. It was a very relaxed walk while finding out about the amazing history of Sofia. He was very knowledgeable and happy to answer all questions. We had a quick coffee midway through, which is a must for me! We learned a lot and thoroughly enjoyed it. Well worth booking.

Outstanding! - I’ll join the chorus of those singing the praises of this terrific company. I brought a group of university students to Sophia and contacted City Tour about the 2-hour walking tour. City Tour was prompt in responding to my queries, was very flexible in dealing with our tight schedule, and, most importantly, delivered an outstanding tour. Ivan the Great, our tour guide, was informative, patient, and funny. We all learned so much about ancient and modern Sofia and Bulgaria during our brief tour. The two hour walking tour was a terrific vale and I would definitely use their services again. I highly recommend them!
