Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

Aziz was great, explained so many facts about the history of coffee in Turkey, the whole workshop was very entertaining plus we learned how to make coffee like a true Turkish barista. On top of that, we learned a bit about fortune telling as well. Would definitely recommend!

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

Очень понравился мастер-класс по изготовлению светильников. Мастер-класс был приобретен для ребенка 10 лет. У нее не возникло никаких трудностей. Наоборот, ей было интересно придумать собственный узор для лампы и потом воплотить его с помощью цветных стекол. В основном мастер класс проходил на английском, но параллельно нам переводили на русский непонятные моменты из истории подобных светильников. Ещё могу сказать, что сам мастер класс проходил в очень интересном кафе: там интересная обстановка, наполненная вещами, которые интересно разглядывать. Часть кафе расположена в помещении, а часть на улице. Пока ребенок занимался лампой нам были предложены вода, чай и кофе. В общем, мы обязательно вернёмся в это кафе, что бы поучаствовать в другом мастер-классе. Или просто выпить кофе.

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

Très bonne expérience :) le cadre est chaleureux et les animateurs de l’atelier sont très sympas. Nous avons eu un petit historique de la création des lampes. Les animateurs nous ont donné des conseils sur nos réalisations, bref c’est une super expérience avec un souvenir chouette.

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

Отличный мастер-класс! Большое спасибо, все очень понравилось. Очень интересно было послушать об истории создания мозаичной культуры в Турции. Сам процесс изготовления- как, своего рода, медитация. Успокаивает и дарит радость. Всем рекомендую!

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

Очень понравился данный мастер класс! Несмотря на то, что гид был англоговорящим, мы друг друга прекрасно понимали! (хотя мы не очень хорошо знаем английский). Мустафа прекрасный человек, с которым выдался интересный диалог. Было очень интересно создавать лампы! Все получились красочными и яркими. Спасибо за потрясающие воспоминания! Теперь свет ламп будет нам напоминать о тепле и уюте турецкого народа.

Спасибо за такой прекрасный мастер класс! Было очень интересно и познавательно. Азиз потрясающий и эрудированный молодой человек, с которым общение становится очень приятным и комфортным. А главное - мы научились варить обалденный кофе! А так же, было очень приятно получить подарок после мастер класса, спасибо!

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!!

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.
