It was a good tour and the museum had its information in English which always helps. The guide and the driver were most courteous and informative. The church is small and only so many people can fit it at the one time. I mean less than twenty! But the art work dates to the 12th century and is in beautiful condition considering it is around 1,000 years old. No photography allowed. That should be fine for everyone. It was a perfect tour for us. Diana, our guide, and Simeon, our driver, were fantastic. Just us two and these two people. Very flexible and worth the money.

We had an incredible full-day tour of Sofia, including Vitosha Mountain, the National Museum of Natural History, and Boyana Church—it was truly one of the highlights of our trip. What made it even more special was our guide, Maria, whose knowledge, energy, and passion for her country were outstanding. The tour blended history and stunning natural beauty perfectly. We started with breathtaking views from Vitosha Mountain before exploring the remarkable Boyana Church, a UNESCO World Heritage site, where Maria’s insights brought its fascinating frescoes to life. Another highlight was the National Museum of Natural History, with its impressive collection showcasing Bulgaria’s diverse wildlife and geological history. It was a great addition, offering a deeper look into the country’s natural heritage. The guided city tour of Sofia itself was equally impressive, giving us a richer appreciation of its culture, architecture, and history. The itinerary was well-paced, allowing us to enjoy each site without feeling rushed, and Maria kept us engaged throughout. If you’re looking for a comprehensive, well-organized tour with a passionate and knowledgeable guide, this is the one to book. Highly recommended!
