    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    Een hele leuke ervaring, met een leuke gids. Veel geleerd over zowel de geschiedenis van koffie als van waarzeggerij in Turkije. Goede activiteit als je nog wat tijd over hebt in Istanbul.

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    Es war ein wunderschönes Erlebnis, das Ambiente war freundlich und gemütlich, wir hatten sehr viel Spaß und haben gleichzeitig viel gelernt. Eine tolle Sache, wenn man etwas „ab vom Mainstream“ erleben will.

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    Невероятно тёплый и дружелюбный мастер-класс. Азиз не только отлично владеет историей и мастерством приготовления кофе, но ещё и прекрасный рассказчик! А целый пакет подарков с собой был особенно приятен! Как-будто в гостях у друга побывала!

    Traditional Stained Glass Painting Workshop review

    The stained glass workshop was a highlight of our trip! The instructors and everyone at the coffee shop were so kind and welcoming. It was my friend’s birthday and they even surprised us with a little cake! And the activity itself was super fun and relaxing - the end product also turned out great and is such a unique souvenir to bring home! I cannot recommend this workshop enough and will definitely be back to try out the other options they offer the next time I am back in Istanbul.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Me and my sister had the most wonderful morning at Istanbul Workshops where we made our very own mosaic lamps! An amazing experience to be creative, learn more about the culture and make your very own souvenir. During you are provided with real Turkish tea and coffee! We want to thank Esma and Mustafa for being so kind during this fun experience! Our lamps turned out amazing even though it was our first time doing mosaic. Definitely a unique and recommended experience! Kind regards, Your new Dutch friends, Dulce and Lúcia

    Traditional Stained Glass Painting Workshop review

    Activity was really fun and we enjoyed it. The guides given were useful and easy to follow and the end product was a nice treat at the end. Also liked the service and welcome given including the complimentary drinks. Would recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing 3 hours to spend. Hosts were also very happy to give us food recommendations around the area as well as on the European side.

    the meet and greeter was very understanding and knowledgeable. we did have to wiqt for a little bit for the session to start but the venue is a very cool cafe with a great vibe. the instructor was very supportive and even though she lacked confidence with her English she did great with 3 different nationalities at the table. A lovely activity in a cool venue with good vibes and energy from the hosts.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Pretty easy to find. Our host was very helpful and in contact frequently before our arrival. We were in a group of 8 and setting was really pretty. Lots of bead colours and patterns to choose from. There is also a cafe with lots of choice. After the lamps were completed, we were told to pick them up in a few hours to allow them to dry. Also received a completion certificate. Amazing experience that I’ll definitely do again when next in Istanbul.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    все просто здорово встретили, проводили до места, показали, рассказали об истории создания, и самое захватывающее: это сам процесс. конечно можно воспользоваться готовыми трафаретами, но можно и самому создавать свой дизайн, 3 часа пролетают как миг, затем оказывается еще и вручается сертификат. рекомендую для посещения, не пожалеете

    Great workshop, all involved were very helpful and knowledgeable and welcomed everyone. Service was second to none, would advise everyone to spend a morning in the workshop then venture out onto the Asian side of Istanbul. Mustafa the host was great and friendly along with the rest of the team.

    Highly recommended! If you're looking for a more relaxing (but also engaging) activity in Istanbul, you should try this! Our instructor was very nice and guided us through the glass painting techniques well. She was also very helpful if we got stuck creatively. At the end of the workshop you get your glass painting framed. They all turned out really nice! There's also nothing quite like making your own souvenir from visiting Istanbul. Once again, would highly recommend!
