    Ali is very friendly and professional. Enjoyed the whole experience. Only point for improvement is if we could have more spaces on the site and ideally wheelchair access.

    Attività fantastica. Il posto è piccolino e i gruppi di persone sono grandi ma si riesce a lavorare in armonia. Ho fatto il laboratorio con mia mamma per il suo compleanno ed è stata felicissima. Adesso abbiamo una lampada unica fatta a mano come ricordo.

    Perfume Making Workshop review

    This activity advertises the meeting point on the European side but the classes are on the Asian side. The guide meets you on the European side, pays for your metro ticket but you have to find your own way back after the class. Ali is very knowledgeable and held a very entertaining class,. So happy with my signature scent and will do this class again if ever I am back in Istanbul

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Η εμπειρία δημιουργίας ψηφιδωτού λαμπτήρα ήταν μοναδική και αξέχαστη! Ο χώρος ήταν υπέροχος, γεμάτος έμπνευση και θετική ενέργεια, ενώ η δραστηριότητα ήταν πολύ οικονομική, κάτι που την έκανε ακόμα πιο απολαυστική. Οι κοπέλες ήταν εξαιρετικά φιλικές και εξυπηρετικές, και ιδιαίτερα η Beyza, που μας καθοδήγησε με πολλή υπομονή και ενθουσιασμό. Μας έδωσε την ελευθερία να εκφραστούμε δημιουργικά και να φτιάξουμε έναν λαμπτήρα που αντανακλά το προσωπικό μας στυλ. Ήταν μια από αυτές τις εμπειρίες που όχι μόνο απολαμβάνεις, αλλά σου αφήνουν και κάτι ιδιαίτερο να θυμάσαι. Το συστήνω ανεπιφύλακτα!

    Perfume Making Workshop review

    I had a fantastic experience on the perfume-making tour in Istanbul! Creating my own signature scent, which I named Gisem, was such a unique and enjoyable process. The only hiccup was the pick-up at 9:30 AM, even though the tour starts at 10 – this wasn’t mentioned anywhere. Other than that, everything was smooth and well-organized. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a special, hands-on experience!

    Super! Hat viel Spaß gemacht und ist eine schöne Erinnerung. Der Workshop findet auf der asiatischen Seite statt; es gibt aber die Möglichkeit, sich mit dem Guide 30 Minuten vorher auf der europäischen Seite zu treffen (siehe Treffpunkt), um gemeinsam zum Workshop zu gelangen. Alles sehr unkompliziert und empfehlenswert:)

    Perfume Making Workshop review

    "Üsküdar’ın huzurlu atmosferinde, ahşap mimarisiyle öne çıkan bu kafe, hem görsel hem de duyusal açıdan müthiş bir deneyim sunuyor. Kafede sunulan parfüm deneyimi, mekanın sıcak ve doğal havasına mükemmel uyum sağlamış. Kokusunun zarifliği ve ferahlığı, bir yudum kahveyle birleşince gerçekten unutulmaz bir anı haline geldi. Hem estetik hem de duyusal zevklerin harmanlandığı bu keyifli ortamda zamanın nasıl geçtiğini anlamadım. Kesinlikle tekrar diğer deneyimlere gelmeyi dört gözle bekliyorum

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    The activity was amazing - you get to sit down and make your own mosaic lamp. The experience starts with you being guided to an outside garden, where you can order drinks or just sit and rest. You then are guided to a table where there are templates for the mosaic lamps, the guide talks you through each step and you even get offered tea and biscuits. I’d honestly recommend this experience to anyone and everyone, it was amazing!!!
