Totally recommend! Dany's communication is great from booking through to the tour itself. Were picked us up from our hotel, on time and he was very friendly, giving us some fun history of the car before the tour began. Took us to some interesting places with some interesting facts, always happy to answer any questions we had. Took us to one place which was unexpectedly closed so took us to an alternative place which was slightly out of the city centre which was probably better as we got to see parts of Sofia we may not have seen. If you mention to Dany you would like a photo taken with the car, he'll sort out a good place for that to happen. Learnt a lot about the previous Bulgaria from this tour. Also surprisingly learnt how quite comfy the Trabi is!! Thanks Dany :-)

The tour has been really great. Dany explained us the stories behind the scenes about communism in Sofia. He is very knowledgeable, tells the stories with passion and with pedagogy. He fed our curiosity. It was also great to have the short Trabant trip. Personally, it has been the perfect tour to raise my awareness about the history of Sofia and Bulgaria, and to better know the transformation of the city over the decades. I highly recommend the tour and the activities proposed by Dany and his team. He really did not count the extra minutes after the tour, while we still had so many questions!

This was a brilliant tour. Danny was friendly and knew lots of history and was brilliant at answering all our questions - and we had many. The trabant really added to experience. Can’t recommend it enough.
