    Kann ich absolut empfehlen, ein MUST, wenn Sie in Istanbul sind. Alles war perfekt, von der Abholung am Treffpunkt, bis zur Herrstellung des Parfums. Es wurde gut erklärt, man hat sich Zeit genommen. Über 50 Düfte, besten Kaffee (trinken so viel man will) und selbstgemachtes Gebäck, die sehr lecker waren. Herzlichen Dank für die tolle Erfahrung, liebe Grüsse MUM

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    It was a great experience! The coffee master Mustafa is very knowledgeable towards to coffee and coffee drinking/making history in Turkey. He went above and beyond to give guests informative information. I have learned a lot about the coffee history, culture and how to make Turkish coffee of course. The fortune telling part at the end is also quite fun! Thank you Mustafa and the tour organizer! Highly recommend to try out this tour. They also have perfume making and mosaic lamp making workshops. I would have tried if I got extra time.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    It was a great session with Mustafa. He not only taught us how to make the lamp, but also shared the stories behind the moasic lamp, offered us turkish coffee and did fortune-telling with us. He was very helpful and funny as well. We were in a group of 12 and it was a cheerful & relaxing workshop.

    I recently attended the Istanbul Perfume Workshop, and it was an amazing experience! The staff were welcoming and passionate, making the workshop both informative and fun. We learned about the history of perfumery and had the chance to create our own custom scents using high-quality ingredients. The instructors offered great guidance, ensuring everyone made something unique and personal. It’s a fantastic activity for anyone visiting Istanbul, whether you're a perfume enthusiast or just looking for a creative, memorable experience. Highly recommend!

    Perfume Making Workshop review

    They explained to us how perfume is made, and then they had a huge collection of many scents. Overall, a great experience. The only thing I didn’t like was that you had to walk in a small space between tables and chairs to get between people to see all the bottles. All the scents were shared. But overall I would do it again! My mom loved the experience 🙂

    Mustafa was an incredibly knowledgeable and wonderful instructor and story teller! We went with my mom and my sister, and my mom didn’t fully understand all of it in English so he even gave me time to translate for her. Honestly one of the best experiences in Istanbul!! 100% recommend it.
