Featured Experience
Experience the 800-year-old Mukabele ceremony at Kasımpaşa Mevlevihanesi. Istanbul's hidden Mevlevi lodge, founded in the 1620s.
We learned a los about the history of turkish Coffee making and its process. Our guide Tanner was so kind and patient, as my Mother doesn't speak English and he waited for me to translate for her so she was not left out. The only thing is that we were expecting bigger bags of Coffee in our gift pack, they were very little. The rest was perfect.We had an amazing time at this mosaic lamp workshop! Everyone was so warm and welcoming, and the whole experience was really fun and enjoyable. The workshop was very hands-on and felt really rewarding from start to finish. We also got tea and homemade cookies, which were so delicious! The best part was definitely seeing our lamps light up at the end, such a satisfying and proud moment after making them ourselves. Would totally recommend this experience to anyone looking for something fun and creative!This workshop was an amazing and unique experience for me! As a first-timer, I learned a lot about perfumes and how they’re created. The whole process was fascinating, and the best part was designing my own signature scent. The host was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive she really helped me create a fragrance that felt personal and special. I truly enjoyed every moment and would highly recommend this experience!
The workshop leader was informative and entertaining, and the workshop was well organized and presented. The hostess was very friendly, helpful, and responsive. However, neither the activity description nor subsequent communications make clear that the activity takes place on the Asian side, which we only discovered one hour before start time, when we were quite far away on the European side. We had to scramble to figure out how to use an Istanbulkart on the fly and get to the venue, which caused a lot of undue stress. Moreover, the workshop description clearly states that participants will be given a cezve, which did not happen.me dieron un regalito, una taza y dos sobres de café junto coni certificado de participación. Cómo era en el lado asiático de Estambul, una persona nos condujo al lugar y de regreso, pagando nos el metro.It was wonderful. Mesmerising. Solemn but uplifting. The introduction was difficult hear - a combo of poor sound quality, rapid speech and a thick accent. Don’t know if this can be improved. But the dancing (spinning) was spectacular.
