Traditional Stained Glass Painting Workshop review

Es waren wundervolle drei Stunden, in denen wir künstlerisch aktiv werden konnten. Wir haben uns dafür entschlossen, unser eigenes Motiv zu kreieren. Die Workshopleiterin ist eine ganz lieber und hilfsbereite Frau, die bei kleineren „Farbunfällen“ ruhig und professionell helfen kann. Zwischendurch gab es immer wieder Tee und Gebäck. Wir sind absolut begeistert! :-)

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

Beim Treffpunkt hat uns eine ganz Nette abgeholt (Esma) , (sie hatte uns auch einen Tag vorher angerufne und den Weg zum Atelier erklärt, )sie ist mit uns auf die andere Seite mit der Marmaray gefahren und hat uns paar sidefacts genannt. Im Café angekommen konnten wir uns erstmal kurz im Garten entspannen. Dann hat uns unsere Einweiserin (Beyza) abgeholt und uns alles ruhig erklärt und auch immer wieder geholfen, türkischer kaffe, Tee, Wasser und Kekse waren gratis dabei. Da die Gegend des Ateliers recht belebt war , waren wir essen und haben dann unsere getrockneten Lampen abgeholt. Alles in allem war’s echt schön und entspannend im ganzen Instanbuler Trubel

There was a hitch and I couldn't leave with the group from the meeting point but I called Mr. Ali, he explained to me where to come and in the end they waited for me and my friends and we made it! The experience was fantastic, Beyza was fantastic and explained to us step by step how to create the lamp! It was a beautiful experience and in the end we were left with a fantastic memory! Teşekkür ederiz 🙏🏼 . Xoxo , Andreea 😘

Perfume Making Workshop review

Amazing!!! One of the best things you can do in Istanbul! They picked us up from a cafe. Got free subway ride, free tee coffee biscuits. The trainer is amazing, very fun and energetic. Good english. The workshop is 2+ hours and you the to keep the perfume you make in the end! If anything I think the experience is too cheap for what you get! Recommended to all my friends who are visiting istanbul soon. Great work!

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

We loved the whole experience! It brings us a step closer to understanding the culture and traditions of Istanbul and the fact that you get something of that place, back home, made it even more memorable! Definitely worth it! This was the first art activity we ever did as a family so we thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you Beza, for the whole experience ✨

It is one of the most memorable moments of my life so far. Guide was a local Turkish girl and taught me gracefully. Mustafa, the senior member, is really kind man. Ambience is great and you won't regret spending money on this activity. It will be a add-on to all of your experiences in Istanbul.

Perfume Making Workshop review

Wow this workshop exceeded our expectations! Honestly we weren't too sure what to expect anyway, but we had a lot of fun and learned so much about perfumes. We had someone meet us on the european side to take us to the asian side and brought us to the workshop (which is also a coffee shop!) We had a great time making our perfumes!1

Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

Положилась на отличные отзывы и ни секунды не пожалела! Очень позитивный мастер-класс; ведущий Азиз с таким смаком рассказывает про кофе, что смог бы очаровать им даже некофеманов) по содержанию очень насыщенно с множеством любопытных мелочей и подробностей; про гадания тоже очень весело и с юмором. Всем рекомендую, уйдёте с отличным настроением) Отдельное спасибо за то, что ребята предложили встретить на европейской части Стамбула, т к локация мастерской - на азиатской стороне.
