Nice to meet you, I’m Stella. I was born and raised among the alleys of Sofia, and I know every corner of this city with the passion of a true local. To me, Sofia is more than just a destination; it’s a living mosaic of eras. I’ve turned my lifelong passion for exploration into a profession, backed by a degree in Archaeology that allows me to uncover the hidden layers of the city from ancient times to socialist modernism. In my tours, history comes to life through human stories and the diverse communities that shaped this region, with a special emphasis on the unique harmony and coexistence found in Sofia. I invite you on a journey that goes far beyond sightseeing; it’s a personal, in-depth experience born from a genuine love for travel and a desire to connect you to the beating heart and authentic spirit of my city.
