What You’ll Experience

For this tour you will have a private English speaking guide that will explain about the food you try and how it is related to Bulgaria and the Balkans. Your guide can pick you up at your accommodation as long as it is in the city center. The tour will last 2,5-3 hours and you will visit 4 restaurants during this time. In each one you will have a different meal, carefully chosen by us and prepared with love by the restaurant's staff. You will have enough time to enjoy the meal and feel the atmosphere of the place. The menu will be according to the season (we have some great seasonal fruit and vegetables in Bulgaria) and will be enough to serve as a dinner or lunch. You will also see some cultural small stops between the restaurants and hear the stories behind those buildings, street art, unique Bulgarian shops and so much more. Your guide will be there to share the urban legends and stories, show you the cosy small streets of Sofia, and, of course, answer all of your questions.
