I recently had the pleasure of taking a tour around Sofia with Vania, and it was an exceptional experience. Vania's deep knowledge of the city's history, culture, and hidden gems truly brought Sofia to life. Her engaging storytelling and personable nature made the tour both informative and enjoyable. From exploring historic landmarks to discovering local favorites, every moment was thoughtfully curated. Vania's passion for Sofia is infectious, and I left with a greater appreciation for this vibrant city. I highly recommend a tour with Vania for anyone looking to explore Sofia in an enriching and delightful way.
