Dear travelers, It is my pleasure that you are reviewing my profile and tours. I am a licensed tour guide, graduated in International Tourism - MBA. I am also a member of the Association of Bulgarian Tour Guides. Since 2002 I have gained the experience of creating tailor made itineraries and/or routes, professionally organize and do individual tours around Bulgaria, acting both as a driver and a tour guide. In the same time a am a proud father of two young boys, who, hopefully I will be able to show the world once they are grown up enough :) My services include guiding - giving the travelers rich historical and cultural information about the whole of Bulgaria, driving - providing airport transfers, as well as transfers to Bulgaria neighboring countries - Bucharest (Romania), Edirne, Istanbul (Turkey), Thessaloniki (Greece), Skopje, Ohrid (Republic of Macedonia - F. Y. R. O. M) Belgrade (Serbia) By choosing a personal tour guide you are actually choosing to have personal service, caring attitude and to receive up-to-date information about the daily life - a review over the economics, arts, education and health care in Bulgaria. I can also provide interpreting and translating services having more than 10 years experience. Licensed tour guide, licence #00384, issued by Ministry of Tourism of Republic of Bulgaria.

    I was fortunate to connect with Philip. On short notice, we were able to find a date that worked and he put together a trip based on my interests. We did a Thracian and Roman Heritage Tour to Starosel, Hisarya, and Plovdiv. It was a well structured long day that included unique archeology, history, and culture. It was more than just point to point site seeing. It took...

    Dear John, While we had relatively short time to decide on what tour should you take, I am grateful for having you traveling with me! It was a little bit of a brainstorming exercise and I am very happy that you enjoyed it! I hope that I managed to create some passion with you towards Bulgaria and let's hope that one day you will be back! Warm regards, Philip

    Philip is an excellent and informative guide. His knowledge of the area extended beyond just the history and his connections along the way allowed us to have more time and to see more things that a group tour would be able to see or do. Thank you Philip!! - Allison & Steve

    We had a great tour with Phillip. My husband uses a wheelchair (which we discussed with him before we booked the tour) and he went out of his way to accommodate us. The guide in Skopie was also knowledgeable and extremely helpful. Skopie is interesting. I highly recommend this tour with Phillip.

    Great tour with Phillip. Boyana church was especially great, with Phillip pointing out the highlights that we might have missed on our own. Rain put a bit of a damper on the downtown/later part of the tour (we didn't want to keep getting out in the rain), but Phillip did a nice job of pointing out the highlights so we knew what to see later in our stay.
