Der Guide war am angegebenen Treffpunkt pünktlich und hat auf dem Weg zum Workshop auch noch einige hilfreiche Infos über Istanbul erzählt, Ich habe eigentlich nur zum Schutz meiner Frau teilgenommen, habe aber viel Spaß dabei gehabt. Bei Tee und Gebäck hat jeder unter fachkundiger Anleitung sein eigenes Parfüm kreiert und gemixt. Das alles ist sein Geld locker wert, auch wenn man eigentlich weniger mit Parfüm zu tun hat.👍

Highly recommended! Enjoyable time, unique activity and special souvinier. Excellent instruction & support. Friendly people & comfortable place. Lamp bigger and more detailed than expected. W Bubble rapped for travel. I would suggest exact location or info about meeting place options when you book...or add an extra hour to your start time for day planning. Explore the Asian side after your class - bazaar with soft Turkish delight, fair priced souveniers and fresh fish restaurant, or a contempoary art gallery, Imoga Art Space, in a lovely little neighbourhood with shops & cafes. Disapointed there was no turquoise glass my class. Stay at the coffee house for the BEST Turkish coffee & delicious tiramisu.

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.

Kann ich nur weiter empfehlen. Wir wurden sogar abgeholt und haben die metro Karte spendiert bekommen. Der Workshop hat großen Spaß gemacht, Getränke und Snacks waren inklusive und das personalisierte Zertifikat und das fertige Parfüm sind tolle Andenken. Preis Leistungsverhältnis ist mehr als gut. Ich würde es immer wieder besuchen. Tausend Dank auch an Ali, der sich bestens mit den Düften auskennt und einen toll beraten hat.

The whole experience was amazing. Beyond our expectations they communicated very well and told us the meeting point from there a guide took us on the tram from Europe to Asia side. It’s a quaint little coffee shop and they have other workshop. Fun activities is going on. Such as Making perfume and or bracelets. We attended the Turkish coffee making workshop with fortunetelling. It was very well organized, and Farouk was well prepared and educated us from the very beginning about coffee how it was imported into turkey how it turned into a delicacy and quite the presentation during an important events. We had fun, grinding the coffee and making it . it was delicious. The price was well worth it and at the end they give you a set to take with you, which was such a great keepsake so that we can try it at home on our own. It was such a great experience and we truly enjoyed our time. Thank you so much. I highly recommend this activity for anybody visiting Istanbul.

The Team were very engaging with the group, not only helping with the activities but also by getting us to interact with each other and helping to breakdown natural barriers between people who don't know each other. The snacks and drink were in good supply throughout and the atmosphere was great, very friendly. Best part is we are able to take our memories home with us,you keep what you create.

This was such good value for money, and I don’t even like coffee! My friend is into coffee which is the reason we did this tour. Our guide met us at the metro station on the European side, which we then took over to the Asian side where their workshop was - and the metro fare was included. Even the evening before, the guide sent a WhatsApp to check where we would like to meet, & ensured we knew the location was on the Asian side - which was excellent because we had actually messed this up ourselves. On arrival, each place setting was ready for us, & the guide talked through a little bit of history before showing us how Turkish coffee is made, & then making our own. The activity took a couple of hours, & was really engaging the whole time. Would definitely recommend!

This was such a great experience! It's really fun for artistic people, but also for people who feel like they aren't too creative - you get a few sample patterns that you can do, so it's not difficult at all. The instructors Kübra and Ümmü Ebiha were extremely helpful and kind, so it was a pleasure attending this workshop!

It was incredible!!! Had so much fun and lost track of time. The place was unique and the tools and the vibrant colors of mosaic with the backstory telling which was quite interesting and the instructor was very nice and friendly. The best thing is that you get to see the lamp come together and light up with all the reflections of different mosaic colors which you later once it’s done you get to keep and now it’s on my cupboard in my room having the Islamic sunset light. ALSO not to mention getting to meet cool people from all around the world. Since a great experience, highly recommend.

It was such a wonderful workshop. Both ladies who were our guides were the sweetest people ever and two girls who came for the workshop were also wonderful. The workshop itself was really interesting and made everyone wake up their creativity. The atmosphere of the whole group was immaculate and it felt more like girlfriends meeting up to chat and do something together but it was still very insightful when it comes to workshop itself. My boyfriend who was the only man in the group also really enjoyed the workshop and didn’t feel awkward or unwelcome. If you ever consider going for this workshop don’t hesitate becuase it’s worth the money not only for the activity but also for the wonderful people there who make those workshops happen.
