    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    This was such a great experience. Bunyamin is the perfect host, going over the history of Turkish coffee and then you get to try your hand at it. Not only did we make some friends but also got to to take home a goody bag

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    Bunyamin’s workshop is such an incredible experience that not only incorporates a unique history of Turkish coffee but also his included his personalized family story. It was so much fun and we were able to make new friends over turkish coffee and delights :) I definitely recommend this experience and the ability to be in a comfortable and fun atmosphere.

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    Great class on a Turkish coffee with thoughtful touches. He was great with learning everyone’s names, getting the group engaged and talking while delivering the material. Got more than I expected and was able to taste several new styles of coffees I’ve never had before.

    This experience was so enjoyable and Bunyamin is a great host. The space is a super cool coffee shop in a neat neighborhood so even just getting there was enjoyable. Everything was organized and ready and Bunyamin explained and helped when needed but also gave space to just create. The lamp turned out so beautiful and anyone could make one. I highly recommend this experience to anyone

    If you’re thinking about doing this, stop thinking and just DO it. It is a once in a lifetime experience: the host was super sweet and thoughtful and super helpful as well. This is definitely a unique experience and one I’ll never forget. It was wonderful and perfect and so intimate. It’s such a wonderful souvenir and wonderful story to tell people. It’s a great value as well. 10/10

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    We recently had the pleasure of participating in a mosaic lamp making activity in Istanbul, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience. Led by the kind and knowledgeable host, Bunyamin.From the moment we arrived, Bunyamin's warm and welcoming demeanor instantly put us at ease. He greeted us with a genuine smile and a genuine enthusiasm for sharing his passion for mosaic art. His expertise in the craft was evident as he guided us through the process, explaining each step with clarity and patience. What truly enhanced the experience were Bunyamin's adorable cats, whose playful presence added a unique charm to the workshop. These furry companions were not only cute but also surprisingly attentive, delightfully exploring the workspace and occasionally seeking affection from us. Their playful antics and curious nature provided a lighthearted atmosphere, making the experience even more enjoyable.The workshop itself was well-organized and equipped with all the necessary materials. Bunyamin provided a wide variety of colorful glass pieces, allowing us to personalize our lamps and truly express their creativity. He generously shared his extensive knowledge of mosaic art, offering tips and suggestions that helped us bring our vision to life. Under his guidance, we were able to create a stunning mosaic lamp that far exceeded my expectations.Bunyamin took the time to answer questions, provide guidance, and offer encouragement. His friendly nature and ability to connect with us created a comfortable and inclusive environment.In conclusion, our experience with the mosaic lamp making activity in Istanbul, hosted by Bunyamin was truly exceptional. Not only did we leave with a beautiful handmade lamp, but I also gained a deeper appreciation for mosaic art and cherished memories of the adorable cats and amazing coffe/tea that was offered to us. If you're looking for a unique and enjoyable creative experience in Istanbul, I highly recommend joining Bunyamin's workshop. You're guaranteed to have a wonderful time while learning a new skill in a welcoming and friendly environment.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    We thoroughly enjoyed the activity. It is a beautiful souvenir and a great activity to do. The hosts were great, the work shop is easy to find and very cozy. The lamp making was three hours overall and I think that is a good time to think about the design and execute it. Only negative (not really) - you should also sell those complimentary biscuits. They were delicious :DI am surely recommended this to my friends. Keep the same energy and the same price and you will do great business throughout the year.

    I am so glad I booked this experience! 5 stars all around. The workshop is conveniently located near both a ferry stop and a metro stop, making it quite easy to get to regardless of where you’re staying. The hosts and cafe staff were all very kind and welcoming. I loved chatting with Bunyamin throughout the afternoon. He was a very kind and patient guide and made the whole experience seamless and fun. The cookies were delicious, the playlist was excellent, and the Turkish coffee was the best I’ve had! I love my lamp and will always cherish the memory of making it in Istanbul! A highlight of my trip to be sure. Don’t miss it!
