Your tour will also take you to other fantastically beautiful Christian and Orthodox churches, and provide an introduction to the role of religion in Eastern Europe. Of course, throughout the tour you will also learn about current Bulgarian customs, cuisine and culture. Chatting with your local guide, as you walk past government buildings such as the Bulgarian Parliament and the Council of Ministers (which used to sport a large red Soviet star in the past), you'll understand the complicated relations with Russia and how Bulgarians look to the future with optimism in search of a better future. During the tour, you'll also hear great tips on what to do, where to eat, and what to order to make the most of your stay.
