    Traditional Stained Glass Painting Workshop review

    In the heart of Istanbul, I experienced an extraordinary glass painting workshop characterized by exceptional service and hospitality. From the moment we arrived, the warmth and genuine smiles of the workshop team made us feel at home. The workshop leader, in addition to being an expert in her craft, was exceptionally helpful, offering personalized guidance throughout the session. What really distinguished this experience was the generosity extended to us. In addition to the artistic exploration, we were treated to a delicious array of local delicacies and teas, which added an authentic flavor to our stay in Istanbul. Ali, one of the workshop guides, not only enriched our experience with wise recommendations, but became a trusted friend, sharing his extensive knowledge of the city and its cultural treasures. Overall, the glass painting workshop provided us with not only a creative outing, but also a deep immersion into Istanbul's rich tapestry of art and hospitality.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    I found this workshop online, and decided to give it a try. It came up to one of the biggest highlights of my trip to Istanbul. We went with my parents and all of us enjoyed it so much. We felt like were visiting our old friends as they explained us everything and carefully helped on the way. The lamp I was able to build myself also looks nice and I could bring it with me. However the process itself was even better. Definitely recommended for everyone visiting Istanbul. Thank you!

    AMAZING experience! If you are thinking about booking it, do it, you won’t regret it! Great way to see a bit of the Asian side of Istanbul while getting to make a beautiful personalized & one of a kind souvenir in a relaxed studio/cafe.

    I love learning the history of how these iconic country items start and this did not disappoint! We had a very fun time learning and making our own Turkish Coffee and even walked away with a goodie bag to take home to make our own!

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    What a wonderful experience! I highly recommend this on your next trip to Istanbul! Not only was Bunyamin kind and thoughtful, he had great stories, and we learned so much. The café is warm and inviting, and the added bonus of the Turkish coffee making kit was wonderful. And if you’re lucky, you will get to meet one of the cutest kittens in all the land, whose name is Crêpe. Thank you for the wonderful afternoon!

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    This great workshop was a birthday gift for me and it was one of the best gifts I have ever gotten. The best part of it is you choose your own design and create your own unique mosaic lamp. Perfect place, inside of the old İstanbul, and the workshop is so professional. Also, the atmosphere and energy of Bünyamin are peerless. I got the swan lamp, I definitely recommend you upgrade it to the swan type. Give your creativity and productivity a chance! Thank you for this joyful workshop.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    I recently attended a Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop hosted by Bunyamin in Istanbul and had an incredible time. Bunyamin welcomed us and guided us through the design and assembly of our own unique lamps, which I was able to take home as a personalized souvenir. The workshop was well-organized, with a lively atmosphere and music, and I bonded with the other participants over our shared creative experience. We also got to select from a range of colorful glasses to add to our lamps, making each one truly unique. I highly recommend this workshop to anyone visiting Istanbul interested in traditional lamps, as you get to learn the craft and take home a unique piece. Thank you, Bunyamin!

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    This experience has been one of the best I have participated I recommend 100% to everyone. Don’t even think about it just book it. I went for the coffee but stay for the conversations. First of all Bunyamin met me close to my accommodation so, I wouldn’t get lost to the coffee shop. This was so important for me because it was my first time in Istanbul. Learning how to make Turkish coffee was more than just the coffee, it was a ritual and culture. Bunyamin shared many stories about his family and culture which made me feel very comfortable. After drinking the coffee and doing to fortune reading I was allowed to make my own coffee in the coffee shop, which was a great experience. The coffee shop where the workshop takes place is very cozy and welcoming. I had the opportunity to meet cool people and learn more and the culture.

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    If you enjoy coffee and/or want to learn about Turkish culture, I highly recommend. It's more about the history of coffee and making coffee than the fortune telling but it's an enjoyable way to spend a few hours, great learning how to make Turkish coffee properly, and Bunyamin is a fantastic host! Also a really cute cat lives in the cafe.

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    We had a great time making friends and coffee. Ben will explain the history of coffee, the customs and culture, and how to make it as well as do the fortune telling. There's a slideshow, coffee shop, and of course you get your very own set to make some coffee and predict the future of your guests! I recommend it because it's hard to find information on this kind of stuff, and Ben is very accommodating!

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    Turquía tiene mucho que ofrecer y sin duda esta experiencia la súper recomiendo para aprender sobre la cultura turca al tomar café y como se prepara un café turco. El servicio de los chicos es estupendo, muy atentos y amables en todo momento. Más que una experiencia, me quedo con un nuevo amigo como Benjamin.Excellent way to get to know the Turkish coffee culture! Benjamin is a great host and very professional. I totally recommend doing this activity because of the experience of learning something new and because of Benjamin and his partner! Both of them were amazing and very kind with us!

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    A+ experience. I had Ali Furkhan leading the class. He promptly picked us up at the location and provided a mini tour on the way to the coffee class. The actual class was a great introduction to coffee culture and the societal significance of coffee. Overall was a great way to spend a couple of hours in Istanbul. Good conversation and coffee what’s not to love!

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    It was really great! Нам с мужем очень понравилось. Во-первых мы прокатились по Босфору. Мы и так хотели это сделать, а тут ещё и Бенжамин (организатор) нас прокатил, все объяснил и показал. А ещё по дороге рассказал немного о Турции.Место, в которое мы пришли, находится на азиатской части. Мы там раньше почти не бывали, поэтому это был повод для нас там побывать. Место где у нас было обучение действительно очень уютное, красивый интерьер. Для фото самое то. Плюс ко всему брат Бенджамина нас фоткал на наши телефоны и даже снимал видео пока мы готовили кофе )). Фото для инстаграмма получились хорошие 😇. Нам показали презентацию про кофе. Было очень интересно. Бенджамин очень разносторонний и интеллектуальный человек. Все было приготовлено и продуманно идеально). Помимо нас была еще девушка из США. Общение было на английском. А ещё Бенджамин немного говорит по-русски. В общем все прошло отлично. Как всегда после турецкого гостеприимства уходишь с улыбкой на лице. Поэтому очень советую).

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    My brother & I had so much fun learning how to make Turkish coffee. It was a great memorable experience & would highly recommend it! The organizers also gifted us with our own essentials to make our own Turkish coffee at home. We even had the chance to take the subway train to the owners second location so it was a great opportunity to explore the surrounding neighborhood after the class!
