Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

Would rate this activity higher if I could -- Ali's presentation and workshop was enjoyable, charming, and very very hospitable. We actually overslept our morning booking and were lucky enough to switch to the afternoon slot, but Ali and his team were very kind and understanding. 10/10 recommend, walked away with nice gifts too!

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

Este taller ha sido la mejor actividad que hemos hecho en Turquiaaa! Super divertido, con un personal amable y super atento. Un ambiente inigualable. Muchas opciones para decorar tus lamparas , y un precio muy asequible teniendo en cuenta la experiencia y el recuerdo que te llevas a casa 🫶 Además tienen una cafetería con muchísimas opciones de comida y muchos otros talleres artesanales que merecen la pena. Sin dudarlo repetiría mil veces 😊

Amazing experience, Ali was a good host and guide, funny yet informative. We even stayed longer to take part in their lantern making class. If in Istanbul, this is a must!

It was an interesting and fun workshop. Aziz was very helpful and has a lot of knowledge about what he's doing. We created a memorable and meaningful souvenir at the end of the workshop. I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in Turkish culture, art and history. Thank you for the memorable experience.

Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

We had a wonderful time at this coffee workshop! Thanks to Ali, we learnt about the origins of coffee in Ottoman culture and the history of coffee. We felt the finesse and warmth of Turkish culture :) I can highly recommend this workshop, even for a moment as a couple! And don't hesitate to have a cup of coffee and a pastry in his coffee shop - it's delicious!

Es war wundervoll. Aleyna ist eine ganz nette Person und beantwortet dir alle Fragen. Das ist mit Abstand das schönste Souvenier welches ich jemals mit von einer Reise nach Hause brachte. Ich plane sogar ein 2. mal zu Aleyna zu kommen.

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

Es hat unglaublich viel Spaß gemacht unter den freundlichen Anweisungen des Workshop-Anbieters Aziz meine wunderschön grlungene Mosaik-Lampe herzustellen. Die Jungs sind wirklich sehr nett und hilfsbereit und geben gute Antworten zu jeder Frage. Leider war niemand außer mir in der Zeit um 12 Uhr da, aber um 15 Uhr wurden gleich 15 Teilnehmer erwartet. Daher musste Aziz mich die letzte halbe Std allein lassen, um zum Treffpunkt zu fahren und die Teilnehmer aufzusammeln. Überlegt nicht lange fslls ihr Interesse habt und euch nicht sicher seid, ob es sich lohnt, die 2,5 Stunden (30 Minuten Trocknungszeit) damit zu verbringen, eine selbst kreierte Lampe herzustellen. Es lohnt sich definitiv! Liebe Grüße an Aziz und an Ali, der mir den Tag versüßt hat mit seiner Aussage, dass er wirklich schon sehr lange keine so schöne Mosaik-Lampe gesehen hätte. Ja, ich weiß, das sagen sie vielleicht jedes Mal, aber ich entscheide mich eher dafür, ihm zu glauben:))

We had so much fun learning how to make Turkish coffee, we learned so much about the history and how Turkish coffee came to be. Ali was so friendly and kind. He walked us back to the metro station and gave us directions to get back to the European side.

Amazing, our guide Ali was amazing he collected us from Fatih and took us to his workshop. He was so attentive and made sure our lamps were perfect and dried as soon as possible as we had a flight to catch that evening. I couldn’t recommend the class more it was the best thing we did in Istanbul! 100% think this is a MUST in Istanbul!
