The local Bulgarian communities, their culture, and natural resources can be represented through the food and the people who produce it. Our tours offer not only tastings of good, clean, and honestly produced food and drinks, but also make the trip back to the village an experience in search of the Bulgarian identity.
Why SlowTours.BG? Our concept of slow travel is the exact opposite of what we mean by fast-paced life – to relax and enjoy your life and the people in it.
In the late 1980s, the founders of the International Slow Food Movement decided that one way to combat this way of life was through food – it must be good, clean, and honestly produced.
Good – to be high quality, tasty and healthy, clean – to be produced in a way that does not harm the environment, honest – at prices affordable to consumers and fair to producers. This is the philosophy of our travels. They are good – with the healthy connection to the Bulgarian roots, clean – with the acquaintance of the beautiful Bulgarian nature and countryside, honest – by meetings between the tourists and the real people who are behind their food and drinks. So, let’s go to our slow tours and try to create a better, cleaner, and fairer world for everyone – starting with the plate and the cup on our table.
My name is Ekaterina Terzieva, I live and work in the oldest living city in Europe – Plovdiv. My interest in traditional local food and beverages arose in 2013 when I changed one professional field to another – from a journalist with over 20 years of experience in various Bulgarian dailies and agencies, work in international media, training, and seminars I started my own specialized project and I created a small media about agriculture, food, wine, and rural tourism, called Agronovinite.
Everyone wants to know better the path of their food from the farm to the plate, as well as the people whose hands give it all. Thus, the knowledge gained along the Agronovins about the Bulgarian village, about the farmers, about the local food and drinks, about the old breeds and the old Bulgarian varieties, became my trademark in tourism.
Since 2018 I am a licensed tour guide and tour leader. Our travel agency “SlowTours.BG” Ltd. (license number for travel agency and tour operator activities RC 01-8148) organizes gastro, wine, adventure, and cultural tours throughout Bulgaria. Every trip for us is an emotion and an adventure, and with you, it is an experience.
