    Istanbul:Original Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop w/ Snacks review

    We had a wonderful time. We had homemade cookies with Turkish tea and coffee while crafting. The lamps turned out to be gorgeous and had more meaning for us since we made them ourselves. Our instructor was truly awesome and very accommodating. It was so much fun and we highly recommend it.

    we had an amazing time! Ali was fantastic, funny and very helpful instructor. the instructions were clear, exact and on time. we laughed, had tea and coffee while making our own perfume. 20 out of 10 😃 whatever questions we had, Ali answered thoroughly. every time he suggested something it came out to be the right thing to do 😄 Listen to him guys, he knows what he is doing! the atmosphere was so nice. i felt perfect there. the place is beautiful. at the end they wrapped our bottles in bubble wrap so you are ready for you flight back.

    講師の方が作り方を一通り説明してくれたのですが、英語がわからず、自分でネットで調べながらやろうとしていました。しかし講師の方が翻訳機を使いながら、わかりやすく個別で説明してくれました。簡単な英語で話しかけてくれて楽しみながら、満足の行く物ができて、本当に行ってよかったと思いました。英語が苦手な方は先に伝えておくとスムーズかもしれません。ぜひトルコの思い出に参加することをオススメします。

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    I think it doesn’t worth the money…. The organization was good first but the workshop itself was not like I expected. The instructor is nice and welcoming. The presentation was a bit boring and I felt I wanted to sleep many times… there are several other workshops going on so her voice was very low and couldn’t hear most of the words although I was right next to her…. Also the workshop said that there was a pet about fortune telling reading but she said it’s haram do her bec of religious stuff so she doesn’t read but have us a guide which can be found online

    Kaffee machen war ganz gut aber die Geschichte dazu wirkt ein wenig aufgebauscht. Hat alles irgedwie länger gedauert als nötig gewesen wäre. Trotzdem war unser Guide sehr nett und hat das ganze gut rüber gebracht.

    Perfume Making Workshop review

    This was my 3rd workshop at this place. I feel like a pro. I highly recommend this activity. Why buy perfume when you can create your own scent that fits you. If you are looking for an activity to do solo or with friends or family this is perfect.

    Istanbul:Original Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop w/ Snacks review

    Meget velplanlagt og med et lille foredrag undervejs om mosaikker og deres betydning og brug i antikken og frem til nu, mønstrene og deres betydning i generelle termer. Et lille glas tyrkisk te og et par saltede kiks var tilstrækkeligt til at sidde koncentreret i de par timer det tog at producere sin lampe. Og det blev en fin lampe - især når man ikke brugte for store og besværlige mønstre - der var ikke tid til yderligere fordybelse så man fik lidt stress på til sidst hvis man havde valgt for store mønstre.

    Istanbul:Original Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop w/ Snacks review

    Wir hatten einen schönen Abend! Für den Preis haben wir absolut nicht mit so viel Service gerechnet. Wir wurden von 18 bis 21 Uhr mit Getränken bewirtschaftet, während wir in Ruhe an unseren Lampen basteln konnten. Die Hilfe beim Bauen war super und total geduldig. Besonders toll war die Atmosphäre, wir haben uns danach noch lange mit den anderen Gästen aus aller Welt unterhalten – ein richtig toller Austausch! Nach einer kurzen Trockenzeit von 30 Min konnten wir unsere Werke direkt mitnehmen. Absolute Empfehlung für jeden, der in Istanbul etwas Besonderes machen möchte! "We had an incredible evening! For the price, we didn't expect this much service. We were hosted from 6 PM to 9 PM with plenty of drinks while crafting our lamps. The guidance was super helpful and patient. We especially loved the atmosphere and the chance to chat with guests from all over the world. After a quick 30min drying process, we could take our lamps with us. Highly recommended for a unique Istanbul experience
