Overview

The tour is designed for travelers who want to experience Sofia from a different perspective, as well as for those who have just arrived and can't waitto start exploring.

Riding e-scooters is a fun and easy way to get around the city. In less than three hours, you’ll explore areas that would normally take a whole day on foot. Your English-speaking local guide will introduce you to the history, parks and lifestyle of Bulgaria’s capital. The route mostly follows bike lanes and streets with light traffic.

The tour concept is: small groups, 50% sightseeing and 50% riding. The e-scooters' top speed is 20 km/h (13 mph). In some areas, the speed limit is 5 km/h (3 mph). The maximum load is 100 kg (220 lbs). A driving license is not required, but if you can't ride a bike, you can't ride an e-scooter. We'll start the ride with a brief but clear safety introduction. Helmets and reflective vests will be provided for everyone.

What's Included

  • Reflective vests
