REVIEWS
Hear from our guests about their experiences in Istanbul Workshops. Personalized, engaging, and memorable.
Highly recommend this mosaic lamp workshop if you visit Istanbul! Bunyamin is very friendly and amazing in teaching us how to make a mosaic lamp. He is very patient as well! I also enjoyed wonderful time with friends and the Turkish tea and handmade cookies by Bunyamin! Also, the little cat in the cafe is very cute 🤣🤣🥹🥹.
The host was friendly and the pick up was relatively easy from the European side. The experience however was not as good as I had anticipated. We were the only ones in a group of 3 which I thought would be great but I felt that we were being rushed. The whole experience was just over an hour. There were no freshly made cookies or any trivia interactions. We were shown a short PowerPoint presentation and basically left to get on with it while the host spoke to his friend. Such a shame as I was really looking forward to it. Maybe there would have been more interaction if it was a mixed group but I felt a bit deflated unfortunately. Is it worth the money? Yes but only if everything in the description was offered.
This was a fun activity! Enjoyed meeting the other guests. Was expecting to learn a bit more about Turkish culture but thoroughly enjoyed making the lamp. Pickup was easy and thoughtful
This was an excellent and relaxing workshop. It was a lovely break from visiting the sites. Bunyamin was informative, helpful and patient.He kindly met us near our hotel to take us to the workshop. Highly recommend.
This is the best experience you'll have in Istanbul. Of course visiting historic places is great (I'm a tour guide myself and love history). But there's nothing like bringing a piece of the city home with you, especially when it's sustainable, you made it, and you connected with locals.The host is thoughtful, polite, very nice to have a chat with, and very patient. It's different from everything you'll experience In Istanbul. No rush, no pressure, no upselling, no pushing, no scam, no bargaining, no... Just positive vibes, a relaxed atmosphere and you end up feeling like you were visiting a friend and understanding more about the local culture.Do it do it do it!
Una bellissima esperienza! La mia lampada sta benissimo nel mio salotto:) nessuno riesce a credere che l' ho fatta io!
A fun experience, got to make and keep our own Turkish mosaic lamp. Bunyamin was very friendly and his cat adorable.

Sehr Toller Workshop. Es hat sehr viel Spaß gemacht. Bünyamin war sehr geduldig. Außerdem habe ich tolle Leute kennengelernt und spannende Geschichten gehört.
A must do if you are in Istanbul. You learn how to make a mosaic lamp pattern and you get to do it yourself. I consider myself to have no artistic abilities but Bunyamin made it very easy and I had fun, as well as my family and kids.
My parents and I had a great time with Bünyamin at his cafe. Making our own lamps was one of the highlights of our Turkey trip. He was extremely personable and gave us some good recs for the Asian side of Istanbul (underrated, don’t miss it). Overall an awesome experience with a lifelong memory to show for it!
So many glass colors and beads. We enjoyed it so much. The host was great. Even coffee and snacks were served. Excellent taste in music. Thank you so much.
Very good activity. I loved the place, we have a lot of differents colors to personalize our lamps and the host is really helpful. The music is also good!
Such a cool experience in such a cool place! And a great souvenir to take home. Thank you, Benjamin and crepe! :)
Ben is such a great host! 😃 Very warm and kind. I definitely recommend everyone this experience, it was very fun and joyful!Great atmosphere & music ☺️! Delicious treats and coffee ☕️
Lovely experience! Bunyamin was super responsive in terms of communication and the whole experience was super well organised and arranged.
Bunyamin’s workshop was so much fun, and a highlight of our trip to Istanbul. I emailed him in advance about bringing my five year old daughter and he was quick to respond that he would be delighted to have her join. He met us on time at the pickup location and our group took the metro to his shop. He was warm and welcoming throughout the whole workshop. Helping all of us and very sweet with my daughter as we all put together beautiful lamps. We meet the shop kitten, had coffee and made new friends with the other guests. Highly recommend!
Really lovely and well thought out experience. We thoroughly enjoyed it and would highly recommend!
Turkish Illumination Art Workshop

This was a highlight of our Istanbul trip - instead of paying for a lamp in the bazaar, it was amazing to make your own custom design (even adapted for US voltage) and Bunyamin was so helpful and patient as we worked on them. Also it's worth visiting for quality time with Crepe the most adorable kitten in all of Istanbul, who watched us make lamps but also cuddled up for hugs. We loved meeting her.
expérience vraiment super ! Nous avons participé a 3 avec ma sœur et une amie. Le lieux du rdv étais facile à trouver du côté européen. Benjamin est sympthèque et avenant. l atelier est situé sur la rive asiatique (ce qui nous as permis de découvrir ce côté d istanbul), dans un petit cafe-restaurant à l ambiance très cosy. the et café sont offert ainsi que des petits gâteaux. on nous laisse vraiment le temps choisir mosaïque et motif, avec des petites recommandations pour les plus hésitants. Le résultat final es très jolie et est même exposé dans mon salon.globalement une expérience vraiment agréable er sympthèque pour ceux qui aime les travaux manuel, un rapport qualité prix tout à fait correct et un hôte sympatique, je recommande !
We recently had the pleasure of attending the Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop hosted by Bünyamin and his team, and I cannot recommend it enough! From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of magical. 🌈✨The workshop took place in a charming and well-equipped studio, which provided the perfect atmosphere for learning about this beautiful art form. Bünyamin and his team were incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and patient, guiding us through the process of creating our very own mosaic lamps. The hands-on experience was fantastic, and I was thrilled with the final product – a stunning, unique lamp that I can't wait to display in my home. 🏠💡
We took the Turkish Lamp worship for my birthday and it did not disappoint. Me and 3 of my girlfriends made lamps. We learned the history behind this style of lamp. Our host was very informative. If you are looking for a cultural experience then look no further. This lamp can be fitted for American voltage or other. You personalize the design you want with over 30 options of tile colors. The atmosphere was great! This is a must try!
One of the most amazing and unique experience that we were able to do in Istanbul. Highly recommended! It’s a fun and engaging way to learn the mosaic art and a little bit of history. Bünyamin was such a great host, he provided all the materials and there were just a lot of colored mosaic to pick. I would definitely do it again if I come back to Istanbul. Bonus part, you can take the lamp you designer at home as a sweet souvenir.
This was an absolutely amazing experience! We had a great time learnings about the culture and we made a new friend with Bunyamin and his kitty Crepe. Highly recommend checking this out.
This is a must do if you come to Instanbul. Bünyamin was very helpful even after. It was fun making the lamps, definitely something I would cherish for a lifetime.
A must do!! So much fun to design and create our own lamp. Best souvenir!
Absolutely no chance to get it wrong. I definitely recommend it. Amazing experience ❤️🇹🇷
This AirBnb experience was an incredible way to get to sample turkish tea/coffee and become immersed in Turkish culture. The art of making the lamps was made easy through the guidance of Bunyamin - serving as a storyteller and an artistic guide. You get to create and keep a small piece of Turkish art for your own home! Thank you, this was a great experience!
