Explore Sofia's compact historic center and expansive green spaces on a private 4-hour bike tour with a local guide. This active alternative to walking reveals hidden corners, major landmarks, and leafy parks that casual tourists miss, giving you far deeper insight into Bulgaria's capital than street-level sightseeing alone.
Sofia’s city center is not very large and it can easily be visited on foot, but a lot more interesting and fulfilling will be a bike ride, especially if it includes a tour of the capital’s parks. This is what you will experience in this active city tour privately with your local guide.
Please note that there are two options for this tour: Self-guided or privately guided. Simply select the option you prefer from the rates section and the cost will be calculated automatically.
