Hi and welcome to Bulgaria! I am a professional local guide based in Veliko Tarnovo, offering tours across the city and round-Bulgaria itineraries. I specialize in creating engaging, well-paced experiences for both individual travelers and small groups, with a focus on authentic stories, culture, and hidden gems beyond the usual tourist routes. I studied at an English Language School, followed by a Bachelor’s degree in Tourism at the University of Veliko Tarnovo, and later completed a Master’s in International Tourism at the same university. This background, combined with hands-on guiding experience, allows me to deliver informative and smooth tours in clear English, adapted to international visitors. My goal is to make every journey personal, insightful, and memorable, whether you are exploring Veliko Tarnovo or discovering the wider beauty of Bulgaria.
