    My family really enjoyed this. Learning about what goes in to crafting a perfume, smelling all the different scents and seeing how they mesh together to create our own unique scent’s. It was a great way to spend our morning.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    The workshop was an enjoyable experience that lasted nearly three hours. Our instructor, Mustafa, was incredibly friendly and guided us step-by-step through the process of creating mosaic lamps. He not only provided hands-on assistance but also shared fascinating insights into the cultural history and design of mosaic lamps. The activity was both fun and relaxing, with Mustafa ensuring everything went smoothly. To top it off, we were treated to freshly baked cookies and hot drinks, which added a nice touch to the experience. I would definitely book again next time i’m in Istanbul.

    Als Deutscher sehr zufrieden gewesen, auf Englisch gut erklärt worden. Ohne Englisch/Türkischkenntnisse wird man es etwas schwieriger haben. Ich persönlich bin sehr zufrieden gewesen, meine Frau ebenfalls!

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    This activity was amazing start to finish. The guide even met us on the European side and escorted us to the Asian side so we could find the activity. There was tea, Turkish coffees and an explanation on the history of mosaics in Turkey. Then clear instructions on decorating the lamp. We were so pleased to take home a gorgeous good working lamp. A very fun activity to do when you feel like something nice and relaxing. Would recommend this activity to anyone.

    What a wonderful activity, I thoroughly enjoyed it! Taking home your very own crafted lamp is super awesome! Met new people from different walks of life, shared experiences. Facilitator was warm and friendly, and pleasantly shared about Istanbul city and things to do. They even accommodated my partner by sharing wifi deets, coffee and cookies, even though he was there waiting for me :) Thank you for a memorable experience!
