These private tours are really the way to go. We had our tour guide, Victor, to ourselves and he shared so much knowledge with us. We had a wonderful day in Bulgaria, seeing the sights and learning the history of the country. Victor also took a us to a restaurant where I discovered my new favorite dish that I will be making at home. Highly recommend this tour!
