Sofia is one of the oldest cities on the Balkans found by the Thracian tribe Serdi. In 29 A.D. Sofia became the capital of the Roman province of Inner Dacia. Through the ages, the city played role as an important trading center in the Byzantine and Bulgarian Empires. Under Ottoman rule, Sofia was the center of Rumelia province. Sofia became the capital of restored Bulgaria in 1879, with a population of only about 12,000. Today many streets, buildings, parks, and even whole neighborhoods preserve the architectural style from the turn of the century. We will explore the compact city center, Boyana Church (UNESCO) and the National History Museum - one of the largest on the Balkans.

Regarding our tour guide Lubo, It's rare to find a tour guide that goes out of their way to entertain and educate guests beyond the superficial. Lubo, not only shared historical facts but also amazing personal anecdotes that blended well with the theme. All I can say is that if you book this tour ask for Lubo and it's a guaranteed good time. Resident expert that's super chill and knowledgeable!

Lubo was an excellent guide and proved to be very knowledgeable about Bulgarian history and culture. The tour was worthwhile and we saw many beautiful parts of Sofia that I would otherwise have not fully appreciated. The museum and Boyana church were definitely highlights including the California Sequoia in the gardens near the church.
