    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Lovely workshop and the guides were excellent. Very helpful with all questions when we worked on the lamps and the glass turned out so cute

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    La actividad en sí está muy bien. Pero sí quería comentar que en el anuncio no se especifica en ningún sitio que el taller está en el lado asiático (únicamente te ponen un punto de encuentro que es en el lado europeo) y me parece un error, de saberlo seguramente no habríamos cogido la actividad. Lo cogimos con media hora de antelación porque en teoría estábamos al lado y acabamos llegando media hora tarde. Por otro lado decir que incluye aperitivos me parece un poco mentir....

    It was a great experience! The lady leading the workshop was always happy to help and give us instructions. We did not feel rushed, even though it is best if you have a general idea about your design before you come so you can focus more on creating it during the workshop. Would recommend!

    Traditional Stained Glass Painting Workshop review

    10/10 and definitely worth the money. Everything was super easy from the start,we had the option to meet near the metro and Kadir was really helpful getting us to the coffee shop where the workshop was.Bersha was so sweet and friendly, she explained everything in a simple way and made it really fun, even if you’ve never done anything like this before. We got to take home our own stained glass piece which is such a cute and unique souvenir from Istanbul. I’d 100% recommend it!

    Perfume Making Workshop review

    Un rendez-vous clair, on s’est retrouver à un café avec toutes les personnes qui faisaient le workshop. Le trajet est prit en compte dans le prix du Workshop. On a pu prendre le ferry et faire une petite croisière de 25’ sur le Bosphore pour aller à l’atelier. Arrivé à l’atelier, tout le monde était à l’aise, les explications de Zey était clair et précise. Elle nous a accueillie avec beaucoup de plaisir et de patience. Nous a expliquer le processus de confection d’un parfum et nous a aider à confectionner Le meilleur parfum. Un sourire éclatant, une gentillesse pure et de beaux moment passer avec d’autres personnes. Je conseille fortement pour les amateurs de parfum ou de diy.

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    This was a fantastic class with coffee expert Tanar, who gave us a fun, educational experience that included a short lecture, hands-on coffee-making, fortune-telling, and party favors. I went with my family, and the six of us have varying levels of interest in coffee but everyone loved the class. The workshop is charming and Tanar was a terrific instructor. I would absolutely recommend this activity as a fun way to spend a couple of hours and a great excuse to visit a lovely neighborhood of Istanbul that we wouldn’t otherwise have seen.
