    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Even though I’m not naturally gifted in visual arts, I still greatly enjoyed this activity. Our teachers explained the origin of mosaic lamps succinctly and clearly showed the overall flow of the activity. They supported us every step of the way and even gave us some tips based on the initial designs we thought of. There was no pressure to do something in a certain way - we were free to do whatever we want. I appreciated that we were able to enjoy some cookies and Turkish coffee while we were making the lamps.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Really great workshop this morning. Lovely cafe and lovely workshop. Lots of refreshments from their cafe while we made out Turkish lamps - and they turned out so much better than we thought they would. Highly recommend - particularly when it’s baking outside and you need something to keep you involved and out of the sun!

    Perfume Making Workshop review

    Tuna is not only a master perfumer but a philosopher. Open your mind and learn about what smells mean, how you learn to smell, and how they combine to enhance your memories and experiences. Loved it Easy pickup, quick metro ride and walk to the Fabrika, and lovely environment and staff. Delightful way to create a bespoke souvenir and learn something as well. 10 stars!

    Traditional Stained Glass Painting Workshop review

    Nur zu empfehlen! Der Workshop befindet sich in einem liebevoll eingerichteten Café mit vielen Leckereien, die man neben der kreativen Aktivität genießen darf. Unsere beiden Guides waren zu jederzeit höflich und hilfsbereit - immer mit einem Lächeln. Die Glasmalerei hat sehr viel Spaß gemacht. Es wurden vorgefertigte Skizzen angeboten, die man als Schablone verwenden durfte. Jegliche Materialien und Hilfe wurden einem stets für Verfügung gestellt. Letztendlich konnten wir eine wunderschöne, selbstgemachte Erinnerung aus Istanbul mitnehmen.

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    This was truly one of the best activities that I have ever participated in — in any city! Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish — including the first guide who walked us through the entire metro system to get us to the workshop. The workshop itself was phenomenal! The instructor was incredibly knowledgeable and taught us all about their history of Turkish coffee, along with all the cultural significances of it! Then we got to make our own authentic Turkish coffee the way they have been making it for hundreds of years, and then we got to learn the art of fortune telling as well! We were even surprised with several gifts, too! This activity is definitely a must-do activity while you are in Istanbul!

    Traditional Stained Glass Painting Workshop review

    Все было великолепно. Это единственное место, где можно посетить мастер-класс витражной росписи в Стамбуле. Рекомендую всем! Единственное, местонахождение проведение мастер-класса находится не там, где указано на карте (там только место встречи, а потом 30 минут ехать), либо сразу приезжать на Азиатскую сторону, остановка Uskudar.

    Traditional Stained Glass Painting Workshop review

    It was an amazing experience. It was our second time there and we enjoyed a lot the traditional stained glass painting activity. The guide was extremely good. She was very kind. Our kids were extremely satisfied and enjoyed playing with the cats. I strongly recommend that place. It was our best activity in Istanbul. Thanks to the entire team.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    I recently attended the Workshop, and it was a wonderful experience. The workshop was well-organized, and the instructor explained everything clearly, making it easy to follow along. I learned how to create beautiful mosaic lamps step by step, with plenty of time to practice and ask questions. The materials provided were of high quality, and the atmosphere was very relaxed and enjoyable. I really appreciated how patient and helpful the instructor was, offering tips and guidance throughout the process. By the end of the workshop, I was proud to take home a unique lamp that I made myself. I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone interested in crafts or looking to try something new. It was a fun and rewarding experience! 💚❤️💙💛

    Perfume Making Workshop review

    Me gustó la experiencia pero , algo que destacar negativamente fue que me cambiaron la hora no más comprar la experiencia y me daban la opción de ir al día siguiente cuando yo ya no estaba en la ciudad , me dieron también opción de hacerla a la media hora de comprarlo haciéndome mover todos los planes. Otra cosa que no me gustó fue que no dieron galletas caseras como pone en la descripción y yo esperé que las repartieran porque es publicidad engañosa. Algo bueno a destacar es que te vienen a buscar si quieres y te acompañan al taller pagándote también el metro a cuenta de ellos. En general una experiencia buena pero con puntos negativos a mi parecer bastante importantes.
