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.

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.

Your Sofia tour itinerary

Dear travelers, You will be picked-up from the address of your accommodation - please give me as many correct details as possible. Today is going to be an earlier start as we will be on the road for 3 hours each direction. Midway through we are going to take a short break - 15 mins in the city of Montana, and after this we will continue heading to the Magurata cave. The estimated time of our arrival there is before 12 o'clock which will give us the opportunity to enter at noon. Sightseeing takes about 1 1/2 hours. Getting in the car will take us to Belogradchik, where we can have a short lunch break after which the fortress is expecting us! Sightseeing of the rocks and the fort takes approximately 1 to 1 1/2 hours. We will be back to Sofia around 8. 30 pm
