    Really fun activity if you are looking for something different to do in Istanbul. Aziz was helpful and communicative regarding our group needing to change our time slot. Highly recommend and can’t wait to use my lamp

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    It was relaxing in a beautiful setting with all the support and materials to create a stunning mosaic lamp. I would highly recommend this workshop to everyone! We stayed in the cafe for a sandwich and drink after, and it's a beautiful venue.

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    Wonderful guid Mustafa met us and brought to the workshop. There we learned a lot more than expected about Turkish coffee history and the process of making it. In the end we got a present from the workshop. All that happened in a good company of interesting people, and social Mustafa, who answered all of our questions. It was amazing experience, would definitely recomend it to everyone.

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    Thoroughly enjoyed the workshop, booked it for my partner and I as a birthday activity and Mustafa, our guide and host was 10/10! We went through the history of Turkish coffee, to making it and then having our fortunes told! Really enjoyed every section of the workshop and can’t wait to do it again! Thank you to our host for making this an unforgettable experience!!
