Turkish Tile - Ceramic Art Workshop review

Traditional Stained Glass Painting Workshop review

Really recommend this activity. It was so fun for all ages (we were a 10, 25 and 61 yr old together). The only thing we have to add is that we were not really allowed to choose our own design for the painting, but only their premade designs. I did end up drawing my own design though! So just keep asking to draw your own if you don’t want theirs too

Activité à faire en famille ou entres amies. Création de lampe du début jusqu'à la fin. La finition est juste impressionnante. Encore merci pour la gentillesse et la courtoisie de toute l'équipe.

Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

Bellissima esperienza. I ragazzi molto preparati e disponibili anche ad aiutarci a trovare la via di casa dopo il laboratorio. Un’esperienza unica per capire meglio la cultura turca. Altamente consigliato anche per l’ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo.

Perfume Making Workshop review

We had a great 3 hour activity making our own perfume. We had an interesting lesson about the importance of smell. Afterwards we were invited to find our scents and make a combination. Our guide was helping us and he was very kind and encouraged us to experiment and create our unique scents. Definitively recommended!

Friendly instructor and cute cafe with lots of retro deco. Instructions were clear and help was available if needed. Great experience to do while in Istanbul rather than buying ready made lamps from the markets

Perfume Making Workshop review

Uns hat der Aufenthalt sehr gut gefallen. Wir haben den Kurs für unsere Kinder (14, 11 und 7 Jahre) gebucht. Sie haben sich so toll amüsiert und einiges zum Thema Düfte gelernt. Der Kursleiter Tuna ein sehr netter und herzlicher Mensch. Er hat alles so toll erklärt und war immer offen auf alle Fragen der Kinder. Er hat sich so viel Zeit für die Kinder genommen. Wenn man bereits rein kommt, wird man von angenehm dezenten Düften begrüßt. Es finden auch andere Kurse statt wie zB Mosaikbilder. Weiter hinten ist dann der Café, mit der tollen Atmosphäre, leckeren Kaffee und anderen Köstlichkeiten. Ganz nette Menschen, die Kellner oder die anderen Kursleiter alle sind sehr herzlich. Wir werden definitiv nochmal einen anderen Kurs mit unseren Kindern buchen.

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

Booked for my wife and daughter. They both enjoyed the class, the nice teacher and the 2 glass lamps they produced. And as a side note, me and my son got to try the passenger fairy (which only cost £1.50 and was so much better than the river cruise we had that cost 30 times as much the night before).

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

It was a fantastic experience to create our own mosaic lamps. Our host was also very lovely and kind. Also the location was really cute. The only thing we would criticize is that too many workshops were offered at the same time, leaving too little time for the individual groups. But all in all, it is really highly recommended and we would book the workshop again at any time.

So much fun!! Everyone enjoyed it very much, one of the best parts of our vacation here. Results were beautiful because of the great help we got from the people there, and everyone is very happy with it. The guides were really friendly and they even gave us great recommendations for foods and places. 10/10 Would do another workshop (like mosaic lamps or parfume making) at this place again! Amazing!! A must do when you are in Istanbul!!!

Lamp mosaic activity was the best activity we had in Istanbul. Everything was perfect. Ali and Mustapha were extremely kind and helpful. Ali took time advising us best places to visit in Istanbul. He was a great instructor. My kids enjoyed it. We are going to go again there for another activity. Ps: their homemade brownies are so delicious.
