Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

It was very good. Kids loved it. Mustafa was very friendly and gave good guidance. It’s associated with a cafe, thus can relax with a coffee or tea before and after the event.

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

Ein absolut empfehlenswertes Erlebnis. Mustafa holte uns am vereinbarten Treffpunkt pünktlich ab, gemeinsam fuhren wir mit der Metro zur Factory. Erstmal wurde sich mit Tee/Kaffee gestärkt während die einzelnen Schritte der Mosaikgestaltung erläutert wurden. Danach konnten man seiner Kreativität freien Lauf lassen. Während der Wartezeit bis zum trocknen der Lampe schlendert man durch kleine Gassen oder bleibt einfach vor Ort und genießt den einzigartigen Flair. Absolut empfehlenswert für jedes Alter

Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

My activity was very pleasant and shared by the best guide. I learned a lot from him and from his experience. In addition to how to prepare coffee, I also learned about its history, and my favorite part is divination in coffee. All this was perfectly combined and presented in the most interactive way. More than that, we learned from our guide in addition to the history of coffee and a large part of the history of Turkey. We realized how similar things are in my native country to what we shared in the 2 hours together. I don't even know how the time passed. If you get to this workshop, ask for Mustafa Omer.

Meget lærigt og super sød og sjov vært, som gav gode tips til besøg i Istanbul. Vi blev også hentet tæt på vores hotel og fulgtes til workshoppen med vores vært, Mustafa. Kæmpe stor anbefaling herfra :)

Hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Und hat der beschriebene „fesselnde“ Beitrag gefehlt, was sehr schade war. Da man über die Geschichte der Lampen sicher viel erzählen können.

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.

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!!
