About this activity
Skip the standard tour script and explore Sofia with a knowledgeable local who shapes the experience around your interests. This private guide service pairs you with a carefully selected resident who offers insider perspectives, local connections, and flexible itinerary-building—delivering authentic cultural immersion beyond typical tourist routes.
A guide is person with deep local knowledge who is guiding in a destination or an area. Our service does not offer you a guide covering some sights or destinations but we are providing you with a local person for the best experience. The local guide is like no other - profound knowledge and information you find nowhere online or offline. He or she could also support you with the building of the itinerary you need or the experiences you want to take.
We work with truly outstanding people whom you get for up to 12 hours of service.
