So I half expected this post to be about WordCamp Manchester, my thoughts and why it was so great (it was, well done to Jenny, Mike, Phil & the hardworking team for making a fantastic conference), as well as what an honour it was to speak there (which it was – you can see my slides here), but a conversation on Twitter today meant I had to change my post for today.
WordCamp Europe is happening at the end of September, and I am provisionally (yes, it’s not booked yet) looking to be there from the Thursday to the Tuesday. One of the suggestions for what to do was the Free Sofia Walking tour. After provisionally getting a few people interested, and after a discussion with Jenny, Andrey, Taco & Peter, we thought we’d try and get a Unofficial WordCamp Walking Tour sorted.
Provisionally, we’re looking to go on the walk at some point (probably 11am) on the Friday before the conference. I have emailed them for an idea on how many they can reasonably take on the tour, as well as if they can accommodate us.
If you are interested, please leave a comment below. I will collate the numbers and speak with the tour company, see if we can do it.
I’ve been on a few of these tours before and they are pretty good. They work on donations (usually around €10/$20 a tour) so not completely free, but certainly a lot cheapear than a lot of organised tours.
Please note: This is not affiliated or endorsed by WordCamp Europe, and is something completely separate. I’m just looking to set something up.
As said, count me in!
Heya Rhys,
Thanks for putting this together – great initiative! And very much look forward to meeting you…(see, you *have* to go now ;)).
Yeap! Count me in. They idea is really good!
Count me in, this will hopefully be my first WordCamp with time to actually see some of the surroundings. 🙂
Count me in.
RT @rhyswynne: A few of us are looking to do a free Sofia walking tour the day before #wceu. If you’re interested, see here http://t.co/5Nt…
Me too!
@rhyswynne I did a walking tour when I was in Sofia a few years ago. Most definitely worth doing. I’m probably not arriving til Fri though.

just about to start blogging & used to provide guided tours myself I would be in if I attend the WPCamp – guess yes.
If I can go, I’d like to join too. Look at it as a provisionally RSVP 🙂
I want to join but not sure if I’ll be getting in early enough on Friday. Will have to check after booking my travel.
Count me in.
Hi Rhys, count me in!

Also not sure when I’ll be arriving in town but I’d really like to join if I can. Put me down as a possible yes 🙂

If you decide to do this later on Friday, do let me know! I will be glad to join along with Codeinwp team 🙂
