The Englisch Guide and Host Antonio was super kind and helpful.
Antonio made me feel comfortable and interested. Even though I didn’t book the Boyana Church Visit beforehand he offered me to go in aswell and I am glad I did. He knew many facts and also made the tour fun, instead of just talking without pleasure....
