Sofia’s free communist tour, featuring a Trabant is now available every Saturday and Sunday starting at 10 am. The meeting point is in front of the piece of the Berlin Wall next to the National Palace of Culture and across the street from Starbucks on (Fridtjof Nansen Str.) The tour is approximately 2 hours long and may feature an iconic classic car called a Trabant.(Due to emission regulations the Trabant car will be available mostly between March and November.)Unless we have technical or logistical issues. The object of the tour is to take you back in time and make you feel what life was like for people living in Bulgaria during the communist era. Our focus is not to put you to sleep with statistics but rather show you what kind of challenges people had to deal with both during and after the communist era. This is a tour for everyone that is curious about this period in history. This is why we have not put a price on it. We believe that everyone traveling to Bulgaria should have an opportunity to take something away with them. Useful information: The tour will require the use of the metro for one stop, if you need assistance with purchasing a ticket your guide will provide it. Also please dress appropriately for the weather. No Reservations required. Groups of 10 or more please let us know by email.
We love classic cars, history and interesting stories. We have spent time living around the world and now enjoy meeting people at home from all around the world.

El tour fue excelente, termine estando yo sola y el guia fue asombroso, la cantidad de informacion y como la transmitía super claro y con mucho conocimiento, no solo de Sofia y la época comunista si no de otros países de la región y la actualidad. Excelente, no se lo pierdan. El paseo en el Trabant al final fue la frutilla del postre, todo excelente!

Very interesting tour around Sofia, Nessi did a very good job of explaining the experiences of the people at that time. Nessi added some family stories which added to the information with her personal touch. Great job Nessi would recommend to all.

Nessie fue una guía excelente, llena de información, muy interesante y entretenida. Fue genial el recorrido y respondió pacientemente miles de preguntas sobre el comunismo en Bulgaria. El único punto negativo fue que nunca apareció el Trabbi, pero el resto fue simplemente perfecto
