REVIEWS
Hear from our guests about their experiences in Istanbul Workshops. Personalized, engaging, and memorable.
It was the first time visiting Istanbul and this workshop made our travel way more exciting and memorable. The only thing better than the coffee were the people we met and guided us towards this venture with patience and dedication. Would recommend this to everyone visiting Istanbul. :)It was a good, relaxing activity. So much fun to do with children as well as adults.Super friendly guide and a super fun activityОчень понравился мастер-класс! Лампу украшали с 11-летним сыном. Азиз (приятный молодой человек, хорошо говорит по-русски) встретил нас у метро в европейской части Стамбула, и мы вместе с ним поехали в азиатскую часть. Уютное кафе с живой кошкой, очень теплая и творческая атмосфера. У всех получились красивые и неповторимые лампы. Лампа теперь нас радует в Москве и напоминает об этом чудесном мастер-классе. С удовольствием рекомендую!Met on the European side and our host escorted us through the metro over to the Asian side. After a five minute walk we got to the studio/cafe which was beautiful in its own right. The host gave us all an individual explanation on how to make the lamp and also had a few tips for different designs we could make. Free coffee or tea was available throughout the session. Overall a really unique and fun experience and would recommend to anyone.The instructor gave you the option of transportation. He was very nice and knowledgeable. Making the lamps was definitely a memorable experience.It was an amazing workshop. The hosts were really nice, polite and explained everything with detail. I do recommend it for everyone as they have a variety of workshops that are really interesting.BellissimaTraditional Turkish Calligraphy Workshop

Excellent from start to finish. Very welcoming and friendly staff. Made the whole experience memorable. Hospitality was amazing Definitely would recommend.What an excellent workshop with a brilliant host! Really fun, informative and relaxed.Ein einmaliges Erlebnis, das ich allen ans Herz legen kann. Aziz macht einen tollen Job und die Location ist perfekt. Die Herstellung der Mosaik Lampe hat sehr viel Spass gemacht und hat beinahe eine Meditative Wirkung. Ein schöner Kontrast zum Alltag in Istanbul. Am Schluss wird das ganze sicher verpackt und man nimmt ein einzigartiges Souvenir nach Hause. Die Location ist ebenfalls toll, falls man einen ruhigen Ort für einen Kaffee/Cay sucht. Eins ist sicher, ich komme wieder.Very nice experience. Host Ali is so nice.

The activity was ok. A gentleman met us to transport to us to the shop. He was very polite, very good in communications and was on time! The shop was small and crowded. The person who explained the process to make the lamps was very thorough and clear. However not all the desired supplies were available in the colors asked for or seen in lamps. Customers were told that items ran out on several items. Many colors were also mixed so a persons had to screen the jars to make sure they get the colors they wanted.Замечательный мастер-класс, атмосфера места и рассказчик. Маленькая кофейня для молодых интеллектуалов на азиатской стороне Стамбула, с теплой атмосферой, бесплатным чаем и маленькими милыми деталями. Под хороший джаз мы делали лампы под чутким руководством Азиза. Очень приятный человек, с которым интересно общаться. Он учился в Москве, поэтому сразу нашлись общие темы для разговора. В этой же кофейне проходят мастер-классы по варке турецкого кофе, кажется, тоже очень интересное занятие, которое подойдет абсолютно всем - и детям, и взрослым, мужчинам и женщинам. Изготовление мозаичных ламп - творческое и медитативное упражнение. Нам очень оно понравилось после нескольких дней, насыщенных прогулками и впечатлениями. А тут три часа погружения в фантазию и умиротворение. Лампы отлично доелетели в ручной клади, сейчас украшают дом. Хочется еще парочку к ним в комплект сделать )The activity offered was absolutely wonderful, and the area it's located in is beautiful. They communicate with you to determine the meeting place and then take you to the workshop. There are three meeting points depending on the area your hotel is located in. The workshop is small and tidy, and they serve Turkish tea and sweets while giving you a brief overview of Turkish mosaic history, the manufacturing process, and how to work on your own candlestick. Upon completion, you're presented with a certificate of participation and the lamp you crafted yourself. The duration is 3 hours, but 2 hours are usually sufficient. There's a small café attached to the workshop where you can wait for your piece to dry before they wrap it for protection against breakage. I highly recommend this place."Great! Fun and engaging activity and great mentorship throughout the activity!Thank you to Aziz for a fun evening learning the secrets of Turkish coffee! Well organised from an enthusiastic and knowledgable host. Who knew there was so much to learn about coffee?! Special thanks for helping me get back to the metro and get my travel card sorted. I will definitely recommend to friends and family to try this out if they visit Istanbul! (If I had more time I would have done the mosaic lamp workshop too!)🙏🏼Мне очень понравилось!!! Мастер класс оставил столько положительных эмоций, я бы сходила еще раз! Спасибо нашему гиду, он очень приятный молодой человек!Great way to spend time doing something uniqueReally fun - the only downside was they were also teaching a coffee making class in the same room so a bit noisy. Loved our lamps at the end of it!È stata un esperienza assolutamente meravigliosa. Un workshop organizzato alla perfezione e con un insegnante unico.Leather Crafting Workshop
