2.The 10 Tastings of Sofia Private 3-Hour Guided Walking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 6 reviews · from $57Best value

Spend about three hours with a private Sofia guide sampling 10 Bulgarian foods and drinks, including banitsa and borovnica. You’ll also see City Garden, the 4th-century St. George Rotunda, and Alexander Nevsky Cathedral. Vegetarian alternatives are available, and guide Anna-Mariya has earned praise for her flexibility.

“The title said 10 tastings of Sofia. What we got was 1 glass of wine and 1 trip to a cafeteria (not restaurant) to have a taste of a few local dishes which were very mediocre. However the tour guide was well informed and ver nice.”
