The Main Event: Bachelor Party Package in Sofia

The Main Event

€274 per person, with nothing left for the group to book: a VIP bar crawl, 20 minutes of karting, a paintball session, a beer tasting, a sit-down dinner and a minibus at both ends of the trip. It covers a full weekend rather than one big night out.

What you get

  • Bar crawl with VIP club entryA guide runs the route through 4 bars and a club. Every stop starts with a welcome shot, drinking games and the challenges game fill the gaps, one bar sets up a round of beers, and the last stop is the club, where the group's VIP reservation comes with vodka on the table. Costumes are allowed.
  • Outdoor Go-KartingA 23-turn outdoor track and 20 minutes of driving, rain or not. The winner gets the story, and the rest of the group hears it until the flight home.
  • Paintball200 paintballs each, a jumpsuit and helmet provided, and several scenarios rather than one long game. Whatever the group argued about the night before gets settled on the field.
  • Beer Tasting TourEither 2 to 3 craft beer bars or a single microbrewery, with a local expert doing the ordering. The tasting is a flight of Bulgarian beers, and snacks come with it.
  • Traditional DinnerA private area of the restaurant, a set menu already chosen, and drinks that are part of the price. It is the only part of the weekend with the whole group at one table.
  • Private airport transfersOne minibus for the group, in from the airport and back out to it, with a driver who has seen every version of this weekend.

What you'll do

  1. VIP Bar Crawl

    Everything on the guided bar crawl, with three additions. Your group still gets the guide, the four bars and a welcome shot at each stop. On top of that: beers for everyone at one of the bars, a game of dares that mostly targets the groom, and a reserved VIP spot at the club where a bottle of vodka is already on ice.

    What's included
    • All of the guided crawl, from the English-speaking guide to the 4 bars and the club
    • A welcome shot at each stop, including the deadly local shot
    • Free entry at every stop, plus drinking games between them
    • Beers for everyone at one of the four bars
    • A game of dares for the group, and a prize for whoever wins it
    • A reserved VIP spot at the club, where a vodka bottle sits on ice

  2. Outdoor Go-Karting

    On an outdoor circuit the fastest driver in your group stops being a matter of opinion. This one has 23 turns, corners that need real braking points, and grip that changes with the weather, and it stays open in the rain. Twenty minutes of driving settles the argument.

    What's included
    • 20 minutes of driving
    • An outdoor track with 23 turns, open in any weather
    • A helmet for each driver
    • Transfers to the track and back

  3. Paintball

    Paintball tells you a lot about a group in one round. A hit stings, so nobody walks across open ground twice, and the guy with the loudest plan is usually the first one hit.

    What's included
    • A professional marker and 200 paintballs per player
    • A jumpsuit and helmet for every player
    • Instructions in English before the first game
    • Several game scenarios to choose from
    • A field chosen to match the terrain your group prefers
    • Transfers to the field and back

  4. Beer Tasting Tour

    Bulgarian beer has a reputation built on the cheap lager sitting on every restaurant menu. The craft scene behind it is what this tour is for: 4 to 5 stops, 8 to 10 beers in tasting measures, and a guide who names what is in the glass and explains why it tastes that way. Nobody has to pretend to know what a hop is.

    What's included
    • A guide who knows Bulgarian brewing in depth
    • Stops at 4 to 5 breweries and craft beer bars
    • 8 to 10 beers in tasting measures, traditional and modern
    • Brewhouse tours with the brewing happening in front of you
    • Traditional Bulgarian bar snacks chosen for each beer
    • Tasting notes, plus bottles of the beers you rated highest

  5. Traditional Dinner

    One night of the weekend has to be the night everyone can hear each other. Dinner is that night. A private room, Bulgarian food in three courses, and the friends who have known the groom longest, seated together with nothing to do but talk about him.

    What's included
    • Your own dining room inside a traditional Bulgarian restaurant
    • Local specialties across three courses, with international dishes on the same menu
    • Unlimited drinks all evening: rakija, Bulgarian wine and local beer
    • Waiters assigned to your group, speaking English from start to finish
    • Celebration arrangements for the groom's send-off
    • Group photos through the evening, taken by a professional

  6. Private Airport Transfer

    Sofia Airport is where a weekend loses its first hour: half the group at the ATM, one guy still at baggage claim, and a taxi line that splits you into threes and fours. A private transfer settles all of that before you land. One vehicle, one driver, one address, and your group is checking in while everyone else is still negotiating a fare.

    What's included
    • English-speaking drivers with a local's read on the city
    • Vehicles seating 8 to 16 passengers with room for every bag
    • One run from the terminal to the door of your accommodation
    • A return run to the airport, timed against your flights home
    • Meet and greet in arrivals, with the driver holding a name board
    • A support line staffed 24/7 for anything that goes wrong with transport
