Bulgarian Food & History Tour in Sofia – Includes Vintage Tram Ride
Discover Sofia in the most authentic way — through its flavors, stories, and hidden streets. This 3-hour small-group tour combines fascinating history with traditional Bulgarian cuisine, giving you a true taste of the city’s soul.
We begin with a short introduction to Sofia’s past while strolling through lively streets and squares. Along the way, you’ll enjoy carefully selected tastings that represent Bulgaria’s culinary traditions: a freshly baked banitsa (cheese pastry), grilled local cheese on a hot plate, a stuffed vegetable dish like chushka burek, and a hearty sample of slow-cooked lamb “haiduk-style.” To finish, we sweeten the walk with a traditional dessert.
Please note: the menu may vary depending on the day, ensuring the freshest and most seasonal ingredients.
But this experience isn’t just about food. You’ll also step onto Sofia’s nostalgic tramway — a ride on one of the city’s vintage tram lines that has been carrying locals for decades. From the windows, you’ll see a different side of Sofia, away from the main boulevards, while your guide shares stories about life here, past and present.
Your guide is a local who knows the city intimately and adds personal touches to every stop — from small family-run bakeries to hidden courtyards and landmarks you won’t find in the guidebooks.
