Guiding since 2026Hello travelers! I’m Svitlana, a fully licensed tour guide and a proud Bulgarian citizen living in beautiful Sofia.
Sofia is a city of incredible layers—Roman history, golden domes, and vibrant modern life. I am deeply passionate about its hidden stories and local secrets, and I love sharing them with visitors.
Being a polyglot, I speak Bulgarian, Ukrainian, and Russian fluently. Currently, I am perfecting my conversational English and Germany through guiding, which is why I love running these "Pay-What-You-Want" tours! It’s the perfect way for me to practice and for you to get an authentic, budget-friendly experience.
On my tours, you won't get a dry, boring history lesson. Instead, expect a friendly, relaxed walk full of local insights, fun facts, and the best tips on where to eat, drink, and feel the real vibe of Sofia.
Let’s discover the city together!
