Featured Experience
Experience the 800-year-old Mukabele ceremony at Kasımpaşa Mevlevihanesi. Istanbul's hidden Mevlevi lodge, founded in the 1620s.
Very interesting and thorough! She went into the history of coffee in Turkey and had interesting stories to share. The fortune telling seemed to be a bit of an add on to the end and wasn’t the best, but still worth taking the coffee making workshop. The business was very busy and well run, I also took a perfume making workshop here which I enjoyed as well. I’d recommend this workshop to others.The workshop was on the Asian Side in Uskudar. The gentleman teaching us different scent pairings was very knowledgeable. Great experience would recommend 100%We enjoyed the Turkish coffee making workshop! Our host was very friendly and helpful in teaching us the process, and it was a fun 2 hours. The activity takes place on the Asian side of Istanbul, not at the meeting point; it was really helpful that someone met us at the meeting point and showed us the way to the workshop via the metro (and paid the fare)… we had plenty of time, but be aware that you need to arrive 30 minutes earlier than the start time if you’re on the European side in order to travel to the workshop location.My mom and I had a fantastic time—this was truly another highlight of our trip! I've always wanted to create my own perfume, and this experience exceeded my expectations. The instructor was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable, making the entire process fun, engaging, and easy to follow. The whole team was wonderful and genuinely wanted everyone to have a great experience. What impressed me most was their exceptional customer service. I accidentally booked the wrong date, and they happily accommodated the change. Then I had to reschedule again due to a conflict, and they were once again flexible, understanding, and accommodating. That level of care is rare and was greatly appreciated. The experience was unique, memorable, and so much fun. I left with a perfume I created myself and a great memory to take home. Highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for something special while traveling!I found the workshop very interesting and well guided. I can recommend it to anyone who wants to experience something special. Thank you very much for this experience 🙏
The activity was fantastic! We got a cute souvenir to take home with us and were able to get creative. It was much better than buying one. Our guide was great. I just wish she had shown us a video of the history of the mosaic lamps.
