With a history that stretches over seven millennia, ruin-rich Sofia is one of Europe's oldest cities. The National Historical Museum is one of Eastern Europe's most extensive. Wide, cobblestone boulevards, charming boutiques and truly electrifying nightlife star in this city of 1.3 million. Trolleys, trams and buses traverse the dynamic city.

I really didn't know what to expect on this tour because Bulgaria is not a popular beer destination. Stella definitely surprised me! It seems that there are cool beer places and hidden breweries that I would not find by myself. Thanks Stella for the unexpected experience!

We went to some places I guarantee we would not have been able to find on our own. The event was well organized and it was interesting to see all the different kinds of people who came out. I really enjoyed chatting with some of the attendees and organizers while walking from bar to bar. My only critique (which is more personal than against the experience) was that everywhere we went was quite loud and crowded. We were hoping to find local pubs to sit and converse with new people. However everywhere we went was too loud to meet new people. We aren't big club people so this is probably more against us than them. We also had a very large group who seemed to enjoy the lively atmosphere.
