Going for a walk with Peter is more than just a beer tasting; it’s a social and cultural dive into Sofia’s best neighbourhood. You walk away a little wiser, much happier and with a newfound respect for Bulgarian beer culture.
Tack så mycket för de fina orden! Det gör mig verkligen glad att höra att ni uppskattade turen och den bulgariska ölkulturen. Det var ett nöje att promenera tillsammans med er och jag hoppas att vi ses igen i Sofia någon dag! Skål och varmt välkomna tillbaka! Peter
I am writing this review, although I am still influenced as the tour was only recently finished. we drank in bars and backyard pubs that you would not otherwise enter as a tourist. we met nice people and drank really good beer. every beer was brewed in Bulgaria. This was Peter's first tour, we met as strangers and said goodbye as friends. If there were ten stars to be awarded, he would have received them.
Thank you so much for your kind words! 🙏 It was truly a pleasure to be your guide and to share these hidden spots of Sofia with you. I’m really glad you got to experience the atmosphere, try authentic Bulgarian beer, and meet local people — that’s exactly what this tour is all about. I’m especially happy that we started as strangers and ended as friends. That means a lot to me. You’re always welcome back in Sofia — hope to see you again! 🍻 Best regards, Peter
