    Замечательная экскурсия. Всё чётко и доступно. Узнали много интересного. Мимо некоторых мест проходили не раз, но не замечали, сколько там интересного. С наушниками очень удобно, не мешает шум улицы, чувствуешь себя очень свободно. Особенно хочется поблагодарить нашего гида Ларису, за внимательность, отзывчивость и интересный маршрут.

    Страхотно! Благодарим много за тази прекрасна възможност за индивидуално организиране на екскурзия из София. Информативно, интересно, компактно! Супер! Ausgezeichnet! Herzlichen Dank für diese wunderbare Möglichkeit, den Tagesausflug durch Sofia selbst zu gestalten. Informativ, interessant, kompakt! Super!

    Thanks a lot! The audio guide was made very conveniently and with high quality. We passed the route, which we had already visited and learned a lot of new things! The gift was a map that helps a lot in getting around. Best trip in Sofia!

    Hicimos el tour con mi novia, muy interesante! No nos gusta estar dependiente de otros, así que este tour fue opitamal. Descansamos cuando quisimos y vimos los sitio en nuestro ritmo. La próxima haríamos los tour de plovdiv y rila.

    Great service, I took the audio guide, headphones and a map at a convenient time for me. Easy to find the meeting point. Easy to use the audioguide, in Italian language, but you can choose any other languages. You walk alone following the way showed on the map, so you can take your time and your stop. I suggest this experience to visit the best of Sofia. Very interesting!

    The self guided tour is a good idea, so you can walk around and set your own pace. Extremly important during a showery weather like our sunday with several stops for a beer. In total you have all places of interest in this tour with a detailed description of sofia. Great fun for all of us.

  • Macarez Florent - France

    I really enjoyed the self guided tour. Everything was clear and covered in 3 hours. I strongly recommend this solution. You take your time and you are not dependent on a group.

    Спасибо большое команде Аудиогида, особенно Ларисе в Софии! Я организовывала поездку на пару дней и хотела посмотреть Пловдив и Софию, сомневалась брать экскурсию или проехаться везде самой на автобусе и взять аудиогид. Лариса очень быстро ответила на мою заявку, ответила на все волнующие вопросы и убедила что я нигде не потеряюсь и что просто экскурсия для Пловдива очень мало, рассказала как добраться с автовокзала до центра где можно взять гид. Я осталась очень довольна, удобная красивая карта, голос гида с приятным голосом и много информации, которую можно было переслушивать если отвлекся и не пропустить ни одной детали! Было очень ценно что гид предлагал зайти внутрь некоторых зданий и посмотреть все изнутри, в некоторых местах было совсем не очевидно, что оказывается можно и внутрь попасть! Очень радуюсь что в итоге решила не брать просто экскурсию.Очень понравилось гулять в своем темпе, делать перерывы когда хочется и не бежать за экскурсоводом! И аудигид был идеальным решением, еще и на родном языке! Брала гид в Софии и Пловидиве, 2 просто потрясающие экскурсии! Гуляла целый день и наслаждалась! Можно было конечно пройти туры в заявленные 3-4 часа, но я не спешила. Спасибо команде аудиогида за такие интересные маршруты, отличную организацию и готовность помочь и ответить на любой вопрос! Удачи вам и развития!

    I wanted to show Sofia to a close friend of mine who lives in Italy. I thought this audio-guide would be the best choice, as he used a similar service in Rome. He was very impressed by the quality and engagement of the tour. I myself, a resident of Sofia, also learned a lot of interesting facts about our capital. It was an experience worth the low cost and I recommend it to anyone who wants to explore Sofia in a quick and stress-free way.

  • Светлана - Кипр
    06.05.2019

    Я была в Болгарии несколько дней в конце апреля и воспользовалась услугами аудио-гида этой компании. Покупала несколько экскурсий. в том числе пешеходную по Софии, поездки в Рильский монастырь и в г. Пловдив. Я в восторге от самой идеи использования такого девайса, и от текстов экскурсий. Все просто, удобно в использовании, грамотно поданная информация, рассчитанная на любого пользователя. Считаю, что пришло время аудиогидов! Для меня - это был лучший вариант, потому, что люблю не торопясь знакомиться с туристскими объектами, самостоятельно рассчитывать время на осмотр. Ну и отдельная благодарность Ларисе и Михаилу за общение! Желаю вам процветания бизнеса. Приезжайте теперь к нам на Кипр!

    Нам очень понравилась экскурсия по Софии с аудиогидом! Логично и грамотно составленные тексты, интересные и содержащие всю важную информацию. Формат просто очень удобный! Мы ходили по маршруту и прошли все 25 точек, посмотрели все достопримечательности. Понравилось, что можно послушать несколько раз, можно и уйти с маршрута, а потом опять вернуться. Оборудование понятное и устроено просто, справится даже ребёнок. Очень рекомендую этот аудиогид и прогулки по Софии! Олеся, Алексей

    Един напълно прекрасен, лесен и достъпен начин да се запознаеш с историята на дадена забележителност от място. Определено, отново ще се възползваме от вашите услуги при следващата си туристическа обиколка из страната. Благодарим, че ви има !!!

    Очень благодарны руководителям компании Аудиогид за экскурсию. Мы пенсионеры воспользовались аудиогидом. Это позволило нам спокойно ознакомиться красотами Софии. Не спеша с перерывом на отдых, посещение бесплатно кафе по маршруту заняло три часа. Но слушая экскурсию, мы смогли остановиться и наслаждаться архитектурой А главное то, что слушали на родном языке. Не надо переспрашивать, бежать за группой, торопиться.Мы получили душевное наслаждение. Рекомендуем пенсионерам воспользоваться услугами компании Желаем процветанию компании и успехов!!. .

  • Наталья - Россия

    Мне очень понравилась экскурсия по Софии с аудиогидом. Хорошо составленные тексты, не перегруженные историей, но в то же время интересные, содержащие всю важную информацию. Прекрасный русский язык у экскурсовода в записи. Сам формат оказался просто замечательным. Гуляешь себе с картой по маршруту с достопримечательностями. Если хочешь - можешь уйти с маршрута, а потом вернуться. Очень удобно! Хочу также отметить гостеприимство и любезность сотрудников офиса. Оборудование разрешили взять ещё с вечера (на весь следующий день). Подыскали по моей просьбе хороший ресторанчик для праздничного обеда 31 декабря, помогли забронировать столик. Решила там для себя все вопросы, которые накопились за предыдущие 12 дней пребывания в Болгарии. Очень рекомендую этот формат и эту фирму!

    Чудесен начин да погледна на родния си град - София, с очите на турист, да посетя 25 толкова интересни места, покрай които минавам ежедневно, но никога не съм предполагала, че ще ми се „разкрият” по този начин чрез аудиогида - перфектно подбрана и професионално поднесена инфорнация, възможност самостоятелно да разпределя времето си и най-важното - най-доброто представяне на София пред нашата гостенка от Тайван, която за първи път идва в България, както и за дъщеря ми, която учи и живее в Италия. Радвам се, че благодарение на вас обичта към столицата ни расте и ни представихте едно невероятно добро преживяване, което препоръчвам от сърце!

    Had a short afternoon to take this tour - it was throughly enjoyable and easy to do. Great audio guide and easy to follow instructions allowed one to see the deep history and differing architecture from a city (country) steeped in past cultural changes and impacts. Appreciate the chance to stop in on hotel basements in out-of-the-way points that a general person would not be aware of. Well done and recommended for all even to begin as an introduction or as I did, a short time in Sofia.

    Скористалися аудіогідом у Софії усією сім"єю. Чудове рішення! Дуже сподобалось. Розумно спланований маршрут. Якісна і достатня інформація. Дуже зручна можливість робити паузи і перепочинки, це особливо важливо. До того ж цікаву інформацію можна слухати декілька разів. І, нарешті, переконлива фінансова перевага над конкурентами. Рекомендую з усіх позицій

    Recently my husband and I took the audio guide tour in Sofia and were very pleasantly surprised. The tour was rather relaxing as it gives the visitors the freedom to make their own choices where to go and when to take a break. It was the most exciting tour we have ever made. Thank you to our hosts from AudioGuide Bulgaria.

  • Rouslan - Taskov
    08.05.2018

    A unique way to visit and learn about the most interesting historic and cultural sites in Sofia without been stuck with a tour guide but be your own guide. To all visitors in the capital and other towns across Bulgaria where it operates I highly recommend to try the audioguide tour. It's a great experience.
