Hi, I’m Yulia, a licensed local guide, tour operator, and traveler based in Sofia.

Over the past 15 years, I have helped thousands of visitors from around the world discover the colorful Balkans through its ancient cities, archaeological treasures, stunning mountain landscapes, vibrant festivals, and rich living traditions.

As a local expert, I am an author of several city guides, special interest tours and audio tours.

The self-guided walking tours I create on the VoiceMap platform are a wonderful way to allow the listener feel like walking alongside a local. Through historical research, local insight, and narrative storytelling, I guide visitors beyond the surface of landmarks into deeper living stories.

I find inspiration in history, archaeology, and nature. I take pleasure in engaging with locals, sharing stories, and bringing places to life. I believe that walking tours offer the best opportunity to fully experience the ambiance of a city and connect with its essence.

In the Balkans, history is not behind museum glass — it lives beneath your feet.
Let’s walk through it together.
