Wonderful experience with ElektrEco Tours. We have enjoyed nature and preserved it, enriched ourselves spiritually and gained knowledge thanks to these young, well-educated, dedicated young people. Thank you and we highly recommend meeting with them.
This was an excellent tour. Shvet was our tour guide and he was knowledgeable and friendly. He had interesting stories and information about the town and made the whole tour fun. The town itself is beautiful, filled with house museums and history. This is well worth the money!
Our full day tour went very smoothly. The electric minibus provided a smooth and comfortable ride throughout the day. Sveto, our driver and guide, is a very congenial host who gave a very knowledgeable account of the historical significance of Koprivshtitsa as we visited numerous museums in the town. To top things off, we had a very enjoyable lunch at one of the restaurants in the town. This was a most rewarding experience.

We truly enjoyed our visit on April 15th to the beautiful village of Koprivshtiza with ElectroEco Tours. Svetoslav was our excellent private guide, courteous and professional who gave us an extensive knowledge of the history of this picturesque place. Terrific and very save driver too. We also had a delicious lunch with traditional Bulgarian dishes. Highly recommend tour for people passionate about environment.
I am really concerned about the environment and was so happy to be a client of this Bulgarian company which gives me the chance to lower my carbon footprint while traveling in my free time. Svetoslav is such a knowledgeable person and can tell you all about history, art, and even politics :) I highly recommend Electreco for the overall sustainability and cultural experience they provide!
