Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

Haben den Workshop als Familie gemacht und hatten auch super nette andere Teilnehmer, mit denen man sofort ins Gespräch gekommen ist. Mit der Abholung hat alles geklappt und wir sind gut angekommen. Das Team vor Ort war total freundlich und zuvorkommend. Man hat sich direkt willkommen gefühlt und die Atmosphäre während des Workshops war sehr angenehm. Unser Anleiter ist individuell auf jeden eingegangen und hat sich direkt alle Namen gemerkt. Der Workshop hat viel Spaß gemacht, wir wurden während dessen durchgehend mit Getränken und Knabbereien verwöhnt. Die vorher vermittelten Hintergründe über die Mosaikampen waren interessant und spannend vermittelt. Das Endergebnis kann sich sehen lassen und so können wir ein schönes und einzigartiges Andenken aus Istanbul mitnehmen. Wir würden einstimmig diesen Workshop weiter empfehlen und bedanken uns bei dem Team für den tollen Nachmittag.

Perfume Making Workshop review

Booked this last minute before leaving Istanbul and it was one of the highlight experiences of the trip! My sister and I really enjoyed it. Ali was very knowledgeable. He expertly guided us through the process whilst giving us the freedom to experiment. And we walked away with such a beautiful momento. The only downside is we couldn’t book any more experiences with the group! Highly recommend!

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

We really enjoyed this workshop. Definitely highlight of our trip. It's so relaxing and fun at the same time. Made me feel like a child in art class all over again and the best part is you get to take your creation home as your souvenir. The staff was extremely friendly and the entire vibe was so homely and cosy. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Perfume Making Workshop review

Ein wirklich toller Workshop! Das kleine Restaurant, in dem der Workshop stattgefunden hat, war sehr nett und hatte eine gemütliche Atmosphäre. Der Guide konnte gutes und vor allem verständliches Englisch. Er hat uns alles sehr gut erklärt und uns bei jeder Frage weitergeholfen. Getränke konnten wir kostenlos so viele trinken wie wir wollten. Das war auch nicht auf Chai, Kaffee oder Wasser beschränkt. Das fanden wir sehr schön! Die Parfumherstellung hat großen Spaß gemacht und war sehr interessant! Das Resultat war toll! :) Am Ende hat er uns angeboten, dass wir ihn während unserer Zeit in Istanbul gerne kontaktieren können, falls wir irgendwie Hilfe benötigen. Das haben wir am nächsten Tag bereits gemacht und haben auch hier tolle Hilfe bekommen. Danke für die besondere Erfahrung!!
