Bulgaria food tour
Learning about Bulgarian history, culture, and food. It is too bad that trip advisor is incorrect information about the meeting point. Fortunately we were able to contact the guide. She is outstanding.

A deeper look into Sofia, Bulgarians & especially their food
What a fascinating tour to get to know so much more about the Bulgarian people & their delicious food! Daniela was our amazing guide who shared her passion for Bulgarian food in a very natural & honest way. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone & especially those who enjoy food. Don’t be afraid if you have allergies or intolerances to food as this was an important consideration that was catered for.
J
Great!
Great way to get to know your way around the central part of Sofia and to check out places to eat that quite frankly you probably would not do so on your own if from out of town. Highly recommended.

Strolling through the food history of Bulgaria
Due to ideal circumstances (for us) we were the only ones taking the tour Sunday (04/08). This resulted in the undivided attention of the guide providing us with detailed information and making additional stops to requested places. Danny created an easy-going environment which made us prone to ask a lot of questions. The food-related history of Bulgaria came to life with each stop and bite that was offered to us. We felt like VIP's. I recommend this tour to be at the beginning of the trip so you can get to know Culinary Sofia in your first days in the city!
