The Workshop took a little longer than expected. Maybe add another 15min to give some grace time... Overall Fantastic

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

What a brilliant day we had! Ali came to meet us on the European side and escorted us over to the Asian side - a wonderful relief from having to work out how to get somewhere new. Ali is a great guy and the venue that the workshop was held in was nothing short of stunning. Our lamps are beautiful. Don’t miss this wonderful opportunity!

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

This workshop was a lot of fun. I live in Istanbul and have several friends who visit regularly. They have seen most of the major sites and I was casting about for something new to do. Both my friend and I enjoyed our afternoon. We posted photos of our lamps and other friends expressed interest in doing this on their next visits.

C’était absolument génial. Notre guide a pris le temps de tout nous expliquer et de peaufiner notre lampe afin qu’elle soit parfaite. Boissons à volonté comprises, on était aux petits soins. Je recommande

Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

Азиз-ооочень харизматичный юноша, можно его слушать бесконечно. Отлично владеет русским языком. Материал интересен, структурирован, ничего лишнего. История кофе, появление его в Турции, способы приготовления. Мы сами приготовили 2 разных вида кофе, плюс нас угостили ещё одним, уникальным. Погадали. В конце ещё и подарки подарил.

Had such a great time doing this workshop!! Aziz was easy to find at the pickup point, and is incredibly friendly and helpful with any knowledge of Istanbul! We had nothing but laughs during the workshop, and it’s the perfect souvenir to bring home! If you’re a fan of cats, they also have the cutest lil helper during the workshop!!! I’d come back and book this again 10/10!!!!

Азиз - очень приятный молодой человек. Он хорошо владеет английским и русским языками. Он встретил нас около станции метро и проводил до мастерской. Потом был интересный рассказ об истории кофе и сам мастер-класс по приготовлению турецкого кофе. Буду теперь пробовать варить дома.

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

The whole experience was amazing. Our mentor met at the set time at a set place, took us to the work shop which was hardly 10 minutes away. Everything was explained at the work shop, full help and guidance was provided throughout the event, coffee was great, everyone from the workshop team were very helpful, friendly and supportive. Our mentor Mustafa was outstanding and ready to go out of way to help throughout and even after the class took us back to the station when it was pouring outside. Had a great time in the workshop and also ended up with a good looking Turkish mosaic lamp! I would definitely recommend this activity.

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

Es war ein super cooler Workshop! Zu Beginn gab es ganz entspannt einen türkischen Çay zum ankommen. Die Mitarbeiter sind total freundlich und cool drauf. Das Herstellen der Lampen hat mega viel Spaß gemacht. Zudem war das Ergebnis super. Wir waren sehr zufrieden und happy mit unseren Lampen. Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ist unschlagbar! Kann mir tatsächlich vorstellen den Kurs nochmal zu besuchen, wenn ich das nächste mal in Istanbul bin. Danke für die schöne Zeit bei euch! 😊

Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

Mustafa was a fantastic host and shared a huge amount of info about turkisk coffee traditions and how to make it. Clear communications before the event, which made it easy on the day. The course was well structured with the right balance of theory and practical. Making the coffee was fun and the fortune telling was fun and a nice touch. The day was rounded off with a nice little present to take away.

Der ganze Workshop war rundum gelungen! Es hatte bereits mit einer pünktlichen und freundlichen Abholung begonnen und war bis zum Ende unterhaltsam, witzig, abwechslungsreich und lehrreich. Wir haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt und würden jedem empfehlen ebenfalls an dem Workshop teilzunehmen. Nun können wir auch die Kaffeezeremonie mit nach Hause nehmen.

Traditional Stained Glass Painting Workshop review

I can only agree with what has already been mentioned in the other reviews. We spent a lovely afternoon away from the hustle and bustle on the asian side of Istanbul in a nice café where Eda and Ali showed us how to stain glass. Note: you can choose your motif from a variety of templates, so you don't have to be creative. Thank you for the wonderfull afternoon, Eda and Ali.

Ich konnte sehr viel über die Geschichte von der türkischen Kaffee lernen. Der Guide hat uns alles sehr genau und interessant erklärt. Den Kaffee selber zu machen und auch noch auf so viele wichtige Details zu achten, hat besonders Spass gemacht! Ich empfehle den Workshop allen, die sich vom türkischen Kaffee und Kultur inspirieren möchten!
