Hello everyone, my name is Ivan! I'm 33, born and raised in Sofia, professional tour guide since 2018. I have been tour guiding all around Bulgaria as well as all Balkan countries multiple times as a tour leader of international tourist groups. Tour guiding is my passion and is a job that I really love! In the winter time I'm a ski instructor, and in my free time I love to go hiking, play tennis, and go camping. I'm interested in history, archeology, foreign languages and cultures. I also speak German and a bit of Russian. At the moment I am learning Greek. I love to travel in Bulgaria and abroad, meet new people, show them around and help them have the best possible time in Sofia and Bulgaria !
