Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

An amazing experience, our host Mustafa had great energy and was very accommodating to our journey and pick up point on our way to the workshop. The ambiance at the workshop was great, small cosy closed off space where we learnt the history of Turkish coffee and eventually fortune telling. Mustafa was engaging with the group and it felt like catching up with an old friend. Brilliant experience and highly recommend. The workshop is located on the Asia side (which the guide will escort a pick up if required) great location and a change of pace from the central

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

The workshop was great fun and is really good value for money. Before creating our own lamp designs we were introduced to a brief history of the lamps and the making process. Our workshop guide was very friendly but we had a bit of trouble understanding her at times. Then we got crafty. We were free to choose any design we like and while working we were given snacks and beverages. Highly recommend and would do it again.

Der Workshop war sehr cool! Wir wurden von der europäischen Seite abgeholt und zum Workshoo gebracht und sie haben uns auch wieder geholfen zurückzufinden. Der Workshop war super spaßig und man hat auch gleich ein schönes Andenken. Und der Preis war für alles mehr als in Ordnung.

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

A Must-Do Tour: Incredible Guides and Experience Our Mount Batur sunrise jeep tour was nothing short of magical, and we owe it all to our amazing guides and drivers, Masa and Darta. From start to finish, the experience was seamless, exciting, and full of unforgettable moments. The sunrise view itself was breathtaking, but what made this tour stand out was the thrill of riding in the jeep. Masa and Darta made it even more special by letting us stand at the back of the jeep during part of the journey, which gave us the most thrilling and unique perspective of the stunning volcanic landscapes. The visit to Black Rock—part of the active volcano—was another highlight of the tour. The scenery was surreal and felt like stepping into another world. Our guides were full of knowledge and stories, enhancing the experience and making us feel safe and cared for the entire experience What really touched us was how wonderful Masa and Darta were with our kids. They were incredibly patient, fun

Mustafa, wow incredible teacher Hope I can make Turkish coffee like him, certainly I will based on his guidance what he taught over 2 hours. It’s not limited to Turkish coffee but I also learnt a lot about culture, history and the way Mustafa explained was incredible. Highly recommended and would love to learn Perfume making and other topics which are present at the same place.

Una experiencia genial y diferente para hacer en Estambul. Se aprende mucho de la historia del café en Turquía y a preparar el café turco. Pero todo esto fue gracias a Mustafa que fue un encanto desde el principio. Sus explicaciones fueron geniales y me hizo sentir como si estuviera tomando café en casa. Espero poder volver y visitarles de nuevo.
