Optional walking tour - needs advance reservation: It is possible to have a private tour through 365association.com (https://freesofiatour.com/). They will meet us at the Hilton at c. 15.00 (to allow for slight delays) on Saturday and will give a 2.5hr tour for an all-in cost of €130/BGN260. I'd suggest that if there are 10 or more committed to splitting the cost then I'll book. Please put your name below if you are interested:

Flight reservations made for both events yesterday. SOF Hilton and TIA HGI booked today. Wiki updated. Just like @LondonAndy, a voucher from the recent GIB AGP&GIB excursion came to good use now.

Looking forward to meet you all, and see two new EU capitals, both SOF & TIA are new to me.

Well I kicked myself when I saw all the fun you had on the GIB do, so I pulled the trigger on SOF this time. All added.

Might add TIA later but I have something else pencilled in at the moment. I'm sure there'll be another sale in August.

My first FT do!

Well I would love to join the party. I've never been to Albania before so I've booked flights for TIR and planning on a bit of sightseeing too. Out on the 21st March at 16.20 on the BA2648 and returning on the 24th March at 12.10 on the BA2649. Would anybody be able to update the wiki for me?

Waaay too early to decide about a hotel. My usual approach is a prolonged period of indecision, then forgetting about it until a few weeks before the trip, by which time the hotel prices have gone up. Must try harder! I'll happily do some searching on bars, though.

I used the Hilton app and was able to book rooms in both TIR and SOF.
