    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    This activity was one of the highlights of my trip! I am very crafty, so I loved the opportunity to be creative while abroad. The employees were very accommodating especially since we had several power outages due to bad weather during my experience. They provided us with endless amounts of coffee, tea, water, and cookies. They also had a location in which we could house our belongings while we worked. They were so understanding about me making a mess while working and explained that "it's a workshop, it's supposed to be messy." I also enjoyed listening to the information that was being given to another group that was doing a coffee tasting at a nearby table. The provider of this activity was super helpful in picking us up and dropping us off at our pickup location. They helped us to move through the Turkish Metro system safely and in a timely manner. While our lamps were drying, we were able to explore some of the surrounding area on our own time!

    Traditional Stained Glass Painting Workshop review

    Excellent experience. The cafe is actually on the Asian side of the city but a guide will meet you on the European side id tou prefer. It is an easy 1 stop on the metro with the guide and short walk to a lovely workshop cafe. The cafe was busy with many classes going (lamps and coffee) but I was the only one in my stained glass class so I got lots of advice and helpful from my wonderful instructor. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. You should sign up!!

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    Had a wonderful time! Our guide was informative and made the experience enjoyable. It was nice to drink as much coffee as we wanted and was given a nice gift at the end of the experience. Would highly recommend even if you aren’t a big coffee enthusiast. :)

    The activity was extremely fun and creative. It was eye opening to experience a new kind of culture, even though it was partly similar to ours. Our guide was kind and knowledgeable in the matters of turkish coffee. Plenty of new things to learn. Overall, very pleasant experience.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    L' esperienza è stata molto bella e rilassante; ti consente di imparare a creare la tua lampada personalizzata immergendoti in un' attività mai fatta prima. Avendo acquistato il biglietto all'ultimo momento, non sono riuscita ad usufruire dello sconto e ritengo che il prezzo scontato a 19.90 euro sia quello giusto, gli altri sono eccessivi, quindi, consiglio di approfittarne con anticipo.

    It was fun to learn about the mosaic lamp making process and to come away with something we can remember our time with. Definitely a fun activity for a group of friends and even doable for families with younger kids.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    The workshop was very fun and the everyone there was friendly and helpful. They package up your lamp for you at the end with bubble wrap so it can be safely packed in a suitcase. I saw another comment saying that someone encountered issues bringing their lamp in their hand luggage, but we did not face issues in the Istanbul, Athens, or Corfu airports. I’d say the experience was a great value!
