We went for the 'free' walking tour of Sofia. But because the Jewish tour was only on certain days we opted for that first and went back for the free tour later. We were so pleased with the tour that we then invested in the paid for Cultural Tour which is about 24 lev reduced to 22 if you hae already taken the free tour. The price included a pastry and local drink at a bread shop, a strong spirit shot and a cheese salad at a second stop, and rose tea at the last stop.
It was a hot day in June and I was not sure I wanted to do the dancing and hesitated to do that tour. However, in the event the guide decided not to do the dancing because the weather was too hot. I was disappointed because I wanted to see a demo of the dancing called Hora to see if it was like the Israeli Hora. When I asked to see the dancing at the end of the tour, instead she demonstrated the one person dance, which involves hands on hips and four steps.
So I posed with hands on hips for our final group photo in order to remember it, and as I would have looked daft being the only person in the group standing hands on hips I asked her to mirror image me.
If we had stayed longer we might have taken more of their tours.
On the so called free tours you are supposed to give a tip if you enjoyed the tour. We certainly did. The guides spoke excellent English and were clear and loud. I made a point of choosing the guide with the loudest voice.
