Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

Super activité à Istanbul pour tous ceux qui souhaitent créer une lampe en mosaïque. L’accompagnateur est vraiment adorable. Des petits biscuits et du thé seront servis gratuitement à ceux qui le souhaitent. Je recommande à 200 %

Perfume Making Workshop review

Booked this last minute before leaving Istanbul and it was one of the highlight experiences of the trip! My sister and I really enjoyed it. Ali was very knowledgeable. He expertly guided us through the process whilst giving us the freedom to experiment. And we walked away with such a beautiful momento. The only downside is we couldn’t book any more experiences with the group! Highly recommend!

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

We really enjoyed this workshop. Definitely highlight of our trip. It's so relaxing and fun at the same time. Made me feel like a child in art class all over again and the best part is you get to take your creation home as your souvenir. The staff was extremely friendly and the entire vibe was so homely and cosy. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Perfume Making Workshop review

Ein wirklich toller Workshop! Das kleine Restaurant, in dem der Workshop stattgefunden hat, war sehr nett und hatte eine gemütliche Atmosphäre. Der Guide konnte gutes und vor allem verständliches Englisch. Er hat uns alles sehr gut erklärt und uns bei jeder Frage weitergeholfen. Getränke konnten wir kostenlos so viele trinken wie wir wollten. Das war auch nicht auf Chai, Kaffee oder Wasser beschränkt. Das fanden wir sehr schön! Die Parfumherstellung hat großen Spaß gemacht und war sehr interessant! Das Resultat war toll! :) Am Ende hat er uns angeboten, dass wir ihn während unserer Zeit in Istanbul gerne kontaktieren können, falls wir irgendwie Hilfe benötigen. Das haben wir am nächsten Tag bereits gemacht und haben auch hier tolle Hilfe bekommen. Danke für die besondere Erfahrung!!

Kann ich absolut empfehlen, ein MUST, wenn Sie in Istanbul sind. Alles war perfekt, von der Abholung am Treffpunkt, bis zur Herrstellung des Parfums. Es wurde gut erklärt, man hat sich Zeit genommen. Über 50 Düfte, besten Kaffee (trinken so viel man will) und selbstgemachtes Gebäck, die sehr lecker waren. Herzlichen Dank für die tolle Erfahrung, liebe Grüsse MUM

Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

It was a great experience! The coffee master Mustafa is very knowledgeable towards to coffee and coffee drinking/making history in Turkey. He went above and beyond to give guests informative information. I have learned a lot about the coffee history, culture and how to make Turkish coffee of course. The fortune telling part at the end is also quite fun! Thank you Mustafa and the tour organizer! Highly recommend to try out this tour. They also have perfume making and mosaic lamp making workshops. I would have tried if I got extra time.

It was a great session with Mustafa. He not only taught us how to make the lamp, but also shared the stories behind the moasic lamp, offered us turkish coffee and did fortune-telling with us. He was very helpful and funny as well. We were in a group of 12 and it was a cheerful & relaxing workshop.
