Traditional Stained Glass Painting Workshop review

Все было великолепно. Это единственное место, где можно посетить мастер-класс витражной росписи в Стамбуле. Рекомендую всем! Единственное, местонахождение проведение мастер-класса находится не там, где указано на карте (там только место встречи, а потом 30 минут ехать), либо сразу приезжать на Азиатскую сторону, остановка Uskudar.

Traditional Stained Glass Painting Workshop review

It was an amazing experience. It was our second time there and we enjoyed a lot the traditional stained glass painting activity. The guide was extremely good. She was very kind. Our kids were extremely satisfied and enjoyed playing with the cats. I strongly recommend that place. It was our best activity in Istanbul. Thanks to the entire team.

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

I recently attended the Workshop, and it was a wonderful experience. The workshop was well-organized, and the instructor explained everything clearly, making it easy to follow along. I learned how to create beautiful mosaic lamps step by step, with plenty of time to practice and ask questions. The materials provided were of high quality, and the atmosphere was very relaxed and enjoyable. I really appreciated how patient and helpful the instructor was, offering tips and guidance throughout the process. By the end of the workshop, I was proud to take home a unique lamp that I made myself. I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone interested in crafts or looking to try something new. It was a fun and rewarding experience! 💚❤️💙💛

Perfume Making Workshop review

Me gustó la experiencia pero , algo que destacar negativamente fue que me cambiaron la hora no más comprar la experiencia y me daban la opción de ir al día siguiente cuando yo ya no estaba en la ciudad , me dieron también opción de hacerla a la media hora de comprarlo haciéndome mover todos los planes. Otra cosa que no me gustó fue que no dieron galletas caseras como pone en la descripción y yo esperé que las repartieran porque es publicidad engañosa. Algo bueno a destacar es que te vienen a buscar si quieres y te acompañan al taller pagándote también el metro a cuenta de ellos. En general una experiencia buena pero con puntos negativos a mi parecer bastante importantes.

Traditional Stained Glass Painting Workshop review

Really recommend this activity. It was so fun for all ages (we were a 10, 25 and 61 yr old together). The only thing we have to add is that we were not really allowed to choose our own design for the painting, but only their premade designs. I did end up drawing my own design though! So just keep asking to draw your own if you don’t want theirs too

Bellissima esperienza. I ragazzi molto preparati e disponibili anche ad aiutarci a trovare la via di casa dopo il laboratorio. Un’esperienza unica per capire meglio la cultura turca. Altamente consigliato anche per l’ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo.

Perfume Making Workshop review

We had a great 3 hour activity making our own perfume. We had an interesting lesson about the importance of smell. Afterwards we were invited to find our scents and make a combination. Our guide was helping us and he was very kind and encouraged us to experiment and create our unique scents. Definitively recommended!
