Customer Reviews Highlighting the Experience:

"Warm Memories in Istanbul"

I would definitely recommend doing this activity. This was my 2nd time returning to Istanbul and doing it! Beyzanur was an excellent host, who was very helpful and explained everything very well, also talking about the history behind mosaic lamps which was very interesting! The first time I had Ali as my host who was equally as amazing and hospitable! We had more than enough time to complete our mosaic lamps, which you get to take home with you bubble wrapped to ensure they don’t break. We were also provided with unlimited drinks/snacks which was very kind! Overall was an incredible experience yet again!

"Magical Turkish Mosaic Adventure"

The experience from start to finish was amazing and I enjoyed it so much. The guide met us and took us to the metro which was included in the price (the way there). When we arrived everything was set up. We then had a lovely lady tell us the history of the mosaic. Then a brief talk about how to make the lamps and we began. Drinks and snacks were provided. The place was quaint and cool x

me and my partner had a great time learning about and making our own mosaic lamp and we're looking forward to using them at home! Beyzanur was an amazing and very friendly hostess and we appreciated the option for pickup on the European side which made getting there a breeze! if you're looking for a fun cultural activity this is a great option!!
