It is easy to find the castle if you know the area, if not bring a navigation/GPS or ask the locals for directions. When you turn from the main road, road is very bad with a lot of potholes and then you must go on a dirty and rocky road to park on a sand in front of the castle. And there are no signs for the castle anywhere. Pity for such a beautiful castle. Price is 10 EUR per person, and 15 EUR if you caught some exhibition. (in our case Tutankhamun) and it was worth it. At the entrance you the knight will great you and take a picture. Later you can buy the pictures and magnet. Very nice. There is also a mini zoo and horse riding school. Also two refreshment stores with no small coins (metal pocket change), so have the exact amount or leave a tip. Toilet is 0.6 EUR (1 BGL). Souvenir machines are not working, again pity. Castle is very beautiful and very photogenic. A lot of fun and lot to explore. We recommend it if you can find it :)

We booked a Localgrapher for a couples shoot in Arizona. The results were okay at best, and we regretted not seeking out an established local in the area. For the price, we received 60 very average choices and the ability to select 35 shots. We couldn’t even find 35 framed correctly. The localgrapher website is also a joke which requires a youtube video to figure out. The UI is terrible and the photos will disappear rapidly so do not wait to download (set aside a couple hours - that’s how bad it is). But really, just avoid. Hire someone directly.

If you are coming to Sofia, make sure you book this tour early in your visit! Elana is a fabulous. tour guide! She started with a short overview of Sofia (over a cup of coffee) and then we started our tour. We visited many beautiful, important and interesting sites. All along the way, Elana told us stories and answered our questions about the City, the people and the history. Elana went above and beyond to make us feel welcome to Sofia, to help us understand the history and culture and gave us suggestions for places to eat, visit and have coffee. We really appreciate that Elana offered to help us when we had questions about getting around after the tour. Thank you, Elana! You helped make our visit to Sofia a wonderful experience.
