    “ Roses are blooming in Bulgaria “

    Barbara_H, Apr 2026
    Very interesting experience watching a film about bulgaria’s Rose production whilst sipping some unexpectedly delicious Rose tea. The hostess was charming entertaining and knowledgeable we got to taste various Rose food items and smell the aromas of different Rose based perfumes. The experience was supposed to be half an hour but it was at least double that. I thoroughly recommend going on this experience.

    Liliya is an expert on roses and a wonderful woman.

    What a lovely, local experience! The talk was very informative and I learnt so much about the production of rose, its uses and bulgarian traditions. Also got to try rose oil, rose water, chocolate, jam, honey and even more as well as smelling different oils and perfumes! The talk actually lasted longer than listed which was great. The tour operator was so friendly and answered all my questions. This is an absolutely must do cultural experience in Sofia and I highly recommend

    To do absolutely
