One of the very nice ways to explore the Bulgarian capital when you do not have the full day. Very nice local guide, excellwnt English and helpful with everything else we needed!
If again, it's just the guided variant.

We wouldn't do the self-guided tour like that again. Unfortunately, the dots on the Google map are not numbered consecutively or organized differently. Neither is the description. You have to search to connect the sights with the descriptions and unfortunately there are not all points descriptions/info included. So the tour was unfortunately very exhausting and unrelaxed. However, this applies expressly ONLY to the self-guided variant. We cannot judge the guided tour.
