Excellent guide, showed us parts of Sofia we would have missed. He was very knowledgeable about Sofia and Bulgaria history, and very educated in his explanations.
Boyana and the National History Museum were impressive and worthwhile
Only negative was the small, uncomfortable car.

There were so memorable parts of this tour that I have a hard time beginning. First of all the National History Museum was exceptional especially with such a knowledgeable guide like Dimitri who explained in details the over 5,000 years of history that Bulgaria has. Then, the importance of Bayona Church, followed by a visit to the largest synagogue in Bulgaria and its history of protecting Jews was very meaningful to us as Jews; followed by the Roman ruins, the visit to the park and sitting there while Dimitri explained the two 20th century Balkan Wars… followed by so much. Our guide Dimitri was amazing; you should give him more tours and pay him a lot because he’s delightful to listen to for historical narratives!
