Featured Experience
Experience the 800-year-old Mukabele ceremony at Kasımpaşa Mevlevihanesi. Istanbul's hidden Mevlevi lodge, founded in the 1620s.
this was a great activity... excellent communication throughout... very flexible and accommodating when we had to change dates... the team were welcoming and friendly... the activity interesting... and finished off with a wonderful coffee set... exceptional value for money too... recommended.This activity was the highlight of my trip. The activity was so much fun. The guide was in touch with us often and was quite understanding and accommodating of the fact that we were stuck in traffic. My only problem was that it didn't dawn on me that the lamps plug was European, naturally. I just needed to buy an adapter once I got home. That was not their fault, I just didn't think about it in advance. No problem though. The lamp works beautifully with the adapter I purchased. I would highly recommend the workshop.The activity was well organized. The guide picked us up on European side of Istanbul, so it was really easy to find the meeting point. We travelled together to Asian side to the workshop location. The instructions were clear and the activity was fun with an amazing result which you can take home. Highly recommend!Zeynap ist eine hervorragende Workshop Leiterin, unser Sohn (8) fühlte sich auch sehr wohl und hat eine wunderschöne Lampe hergestellt, Bahar hat uns vom Treffpunkt abgeholt und alles hat wunderbar geklappt, auf jeden Fall weiter zu empfehlen.The perfume-making workshop was such a great experience! Moustafa, our instructor, was incredibly helpful and kind—he explained everything clearly and made the whole process fun and personal. The guides who picked us up from the meeting point were also wonderful—very friendly, talkative, and made the ride feel like part of the adventure. Everything from start to finish was smooth, welcoming, and memorable. Definitely an experience I’ll never forget!This was top class! It’s in a lovely vibrant part of Istanbul which we hadn’t visited yet and I’m so glad we did. The guide kadir who picked us up had excellent English and was courteous, kind, super friendly and reassuring. The other organisers were equally friendly, lovely big smiles and clear explanations of what we were allowed to do. The room was comfortable and coffee/ tea plentiful. I’d love to try this again
