Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

Eu e meu marido amamos a atividade. O local é muito agradável, o instrutor atento e prestativo e ficamos felizes com esse aprendizado que levaremos para a vida!! É possível aplicar a técnica em outros objetos para decoração da casa! Recomendamos!!!! Levamos esse lindo aprendizado como lembrança da Turquia!

Amazing experience, the location was beautiful and cozy and the class was entertaining and easy to learn. And we got to take a lovely souvenir with us as a memory of the day. Great experience for both tourists and locals looking for a fun activity to do with friends, family, couples etc.

Perfume Making Workshop review

They explained to us how perfume is made, and then they had a huge collection of many scents. Overall, a great experience. The only thing I didn’t like was that you had to walk in a small space between tables and chairs to get between people to see all the bottles. All the scents were shared. But overall I would do it again! My mom loved the experience 🙂

Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

Mustafa was an incredibly knowledgeable and wonderful instructor and story teller! We went with my mom and my sister, and my mom didn’t fully understand all of it in English so he even gave me time to translate for her. Honestly one of the best experiences in Istanbul!! 100% recommend it.

We had such fun! The instructor was excellent with all of us but especially with my 9 year old daughter- and walked her through the process in a fun and clever way. A great experience beyond the usual tourist attractions. We would happily come back again!

It was fascinating experience! The instructor Mustafa was knowledgeable, humorous and friendly. The session was well structured and informative. The venue was cute too. Would definitely recommend this to everyone. The venue is on the Asian side, but Esma, the staff there went to the European side to pick me up. She's also very friendly and helpful.

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

super atelier. nous avons pris le métro pour aller sur la rive asiatique d'Istanbul. l'atelier est ensuite à 5 min de marche dans un quartier très sympa. les explications sont claires et l'atelier est bien encadré par les organisateurs. nous avons bien le temps de faire les choix de motis et couleurs. avant de passer au collage. super expérience! je recommande vivement. Pendant le temps de séchage de la lampe qui est d'environ 30 minutes, le thé est offert en plus de la collation et de l'eau qui nous a été donné pendant l'atelier. J'ai pris le thé dans la cour de la boutique qui est également un café qui propose des boissons et de la nourriture Le lieu est super agréable.

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

Really enjoyed the session. Thought it was good value for money. If you’re staying on the European side, meet them this side as they pay for your metro over to the other side helped by your guide. There was a number of us waiting at the pick up and the guide called me instead of just coming over to us (a really minor point but got overcharged for a 5 second call, just some feedback). Would recommend

Большое спасибо за мастер-класс! Было очень содержательно и познавательно, узнали много по истории и традициях связанных с турецким кофе. Ну и, конечно же, не обошлось без гадания на кофейной гуще. Отдельная благодарность за сувениры. Нам все очень понравилось!

Mustafa hat den Kurs sehr gut gemacht. Er hat offensichtlich Spaß an seiner Arbeit. Die junge Frau, die uns vom Treffpunkt auf der europäischen Seite abgeholt hat (ihren Namen hab ich nicht erfahren) war sehr nett und hat uns vieles erklärt. Kann ich nur empfehlen.

Perfume Making Workshop review

L'instructeur était adorable, chaleureux et très compétent. L'activité s'est déroulée en tout petit groupe, donc le parfumeur a pu passer un moment avec chaque participant pour peaufiner la recette de son parfum et apporter des conseils vraiment personnalisés. Le rapport qualité-prix de l'atelier est exceptionnel : c'est à peine le prix d'une bouteille de parfum seul en France. La terrasse où est organisée l'activité est un lieu idyllique et très calme, et les boissons offertes pendant l'atelier étaient très appréciables. Nous avons passé un moment incroyable et nous recommandons à tout le monde cette activité qui était géniale! Merci beaucoup, Adrien et Chloé

Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

I recently attended the Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop in Istanbul, and it was an amazing experience! The workshop was not only fun but also highly informative and interesting. I learned so much about the traditional art of making Turkish coffee, and the fortune-telling part was a delightful and unique touch. The hosts were knowledgeable and made the session engaging for everyone. If you're looking for a cultural experience that's both educational and enjoyable, I highly recommend this workshop!
