Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

Workshop se mi moc líbil a odcházela jsem nadšená! Název je trošku zavádějící, jde především o přípravu kávy a její historie. Věštění je jen taková třešnička na dortu.

Istanbul:Original Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop w/ Snacks review

Ha sido maravillosa! Fuimos en familia, nuestra hija de 11 años disfrutó muchísimo. Un taller genial, desde el primer momento el guía quedó con nosotros, fuimos juntos hacia la zona asiática y comenzamos allí el taller. Super amable la persona que nos impartió el taller. Muchas gracias lo pasamos genial y nos llevamos a casa 5 lámparas preciosas!! 100% recomendable.

Perfume Making Workshop review

Wir hatten einen super Workshop mit vielen Infos zur Herstellung eines Parfüms. Allein die vielen Öle, an denen wir riechen und kombinieren konnten waren überwältigend. Wir haben alle ein eigenes Parfüm erstellt und sind sehr glücklich damit. Außerdem ist es eine tolle Location.

Eine wunderschöne und therapierende Aktivität. Unser Guide war lustig, hat alles sehr gut erklärt und immer mitgeholfen. Der Ort, an dem es stattfindet, ist auch nostalgisch, was zum Workshop passt. Es gab auch endlosen Kaffee und Tee mit Cookies.

A really fun workshop with my 13 year old daughter. We enjoyed the experience from start to finish. All the staff were really friendly and helpful including the guy who met us to take us from the European side across (under) the Bosphorus. We would highly recommend this to people of all ages!

Traditional Stained Glass Painting Workshop review

This was such an incredible experience! The location was quite unique with a coffee shop outside and artistry area inside. Very quaint! The instructor, Zey, was superb. She was very professional and personal. She was encouraging and helpful!! We had the greatest time doing not only the stained glass but talking with her. The staff was so anxious to share treats and drinks with everyone. I absolutely recommend this and will use this place again.

Aisha was really helpful and clearly went through each stage of the lamp decoration. To be able to take home a homemade souvenir is great. Lots of colours to choose from and plenty of suggestions on how to decorate it. The venue itself is really nice and the snacks provided and drinks are great.
