What you get

  • Guided Pub CrawlAn English-speaking guide takes the group round 4 bars and a popular club, well clear of the tourist traps. There's a free welcome shot at every stop, the deadly local shot among them, plus free entry everywhere and drinking games.
  • Escape Room Challenge60 minutes to show the brain cells made it through last night. An English-speaking Game Master runs the show, with parallel rooms for head-to-head rivalry if numbers call for it.
  • Bulgarian Food TastingBanitsa, lukanka and plenty more of the local grub. Arrive starving, because it adds up to a full meal.
  • Bowling SessionA full hour on the lanes, shoe hire covered. Stag tradition applies: whoever bowls worst gets the next round in.
  • Return Airport TransfersA minibus there and back, so the dodgy taxi drivers go hungry.

What you'll do

  1. Guided Bar Crawl

    A bar crawl led by someone who really does know the way, so the group never lands in a grim tourist trap paying €15 a pint. Your guide gets you straight into the thick of Sofia's nightlife, and nobody has to stop a bemused local to ask where's decent for a beer.

    What's included
    • A dedicated English-speaking guide (ask us about other languages)
    • 4 bars of different styles, then a popular club in the centre
    • A free welcome shot at every stop, the deadly local shot among them
    • Free entry everywhere, the club included
    • Drinking games along the way
    • More drinks added on request

  2. Escape Room

    Every group has a lad who reckons he's a genius detective and another who gets lost in a car park. Lock them in a room with a countdown clock and you find out fast who has actually got a brain, who just points at things, and who couldn't crack a thing without being handed the answer.

    What's included
    • A private session, just your group
    • A full briefing from game masters who speak English
    • Puzzle chaos and rivalry for 1–2 hours
    • Bragging rights for the winners, proof of shame for the losers
    • Group photos of the triumphs and the cock-ups

  3. Bulgarian Food Tasting

    See what Bulgarians really eat, beyond the mystery items you keep swerving on menus, and learn whether the lad who swears he'll eat anything is telling the truth or talking bollocks. It's proper local food, with a guide on hand so nobody accidentally orders a plate that looks like it was scraped off the hard shoulder.

    What's included
    • A guide who knows Bulgarian food traditions inside out
    • 8–10 dishes from Bulgaria's regions, in tasting portions
    • A traditional mehana with plenty of local atmosphere
    • What goes into each dish, how it's made and why it matters
    • Bulgarian beer, wine and rakija paired with the food
    • Recipe cards plus cultural titbits to show off with at home

  4. Bowling

    Somebody in your group has been dining out on a single lucky strike since 2003. This is where he gets found out. Bowling settles the argument between real talent and beginner's luck once and for all, and you get to do it with a pint in your hand while ripping into everyone's run-up.

    What's included
    • Private lanes kept just for your group
    • Bowling shoes and all the lane kit for everyone
    • Several games of proper competition, lasting 2–3 hours
    • Food and drink deals covering beer, spirits and classic alley grub
    • Electronic scoring and a tournament bracket
    • A trophy for the winner and photos of every gutter ball

  5. Private Airport Transfer

    Landing with a stag group usually means a scrum at the taxi rank, six separate cabs and nobody sure who has the hotel address. Skip all of that. One driver, one vehicle and the whole crew on board, so the weekend starts at the terminal door instead of an hour later, once the last lost lad finally turns up somewhere in Sofia.

    What's included
    • Pro drivers with good English and local know-how
    • Roomy vehicles taking 8–16 passengers and all the luggage
    • Door to door, from arrivals to your accommodation
    • Return airport run, timed flexibly around departures
    • Meet and greet at arrivals, with your name on a board
    • 24/7 support line for any transport problems
