Hello! My name is Viktor, but my friends call me Vick. I'm a professional local who loves showing people around Sofia! I've been a tour leader since August 2016 and my first job as a tour guide was in City Sightseeing Sofia - the only company that offers daily bus tours in the city. Since that I lead more than 300 tours on both a double-decker and an open-top bus. In December 2016 I created The Feel of Sofia - a platform for walking tours and social activities in the city. So far we had more than 1000 guests and we managed to reach number 4 in Tours in Sofia in TripAdvisor with 97% of the reviews being excellent (more than all of our competitors). Since February 2018 I'm also working as a tour guide for The Museum of Sofia History.
I'm proud of studying in the same university as many of my heroes, including members of my family such as my grandfather and my father. My biggest passion is history and more exactly - the history of Sofia. One of my dreams is to have all the books about Sofia history that one can buy and I'm happy to say that I'm getting close.
Sofia is my city, but I am willing to share it with you if you take a tour with me!
I play the guitar, the bass and I sing. With my brother and one of our best friends we started a band and we love playing gypsy jazz and swing.
I've been working as a barber for 6 years from when I was 15, so I can give you free hair-style advices!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Being a tour guide, I understand how important it is to get a local's point of view. I would love to see the city as an insider and Couch Surfing can help me meet the right people to do that.
