    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Замечательный мастер-класс! Спасибо организаторам за индивидуальный подход и доброжелательность. За день до мероприятия связались и обсудили наиболее удобный для нас маршрут, сопроводили с точки сбора прямо до места проведения. Очень понятно и четко ввели в экскурс дела, рассказали предысторию, помогали на протяжении всего мастер-класса, предложили угощение и напитки. Мы остались в восторге, еще и с такими чудесными сувенирами!

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Было очень атмосферно. Здорово, что организовали такой мастер-класс! Лампу, сделанную своими руками, увозить из Стамбула намного приятнее. Время пролетает незаметно, все очень интересно и красиво

    Very interesting experience, the guide had a very good knowledge about the topic and was nice, friendly and always helpful. I had the luck to find a very good Group. One good point is also the atmosphere. The ambience is young and traditional at the same time!

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    Наш обаятельный бариста покорил меня и дочь не только вкусным кофе, симпатичным местечком и приятным бонусом. Этот мастер-класс - целое погружение в историю кофе в Турции, в культуру, в обычаи и традиции! Несмотря на технические «косяки» с нашей стороны (простите нас….) – все прошло позитивно, душевно и очень интересно! Спасибо огромное!!!

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    I made a lamp inspired by my memories of Turkey. I really enjoyed the history and stories about lamps that I learned from the guide!The cafe at the venue was also a nice place and I really liked it. Now, as I look at this lamp in Japan, I am reminded of my trip to Turkey.

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    It was everythin I hoped for and then some. Our host was terrific, and knowledgeable about the culture of turkish coffee. The making of the coffee was easy to learn, and it yielded some amazing results. I highly recommend this workshop to anyone who wants to learn about turkish coffee.

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    Highly recommended! Besides learning how to properly make turkish coffee (and making your own) you learn a about coffee culture, fortune telling and turkish hospitality. Ali is a great guide and I loved the chill vibe at Fabrikafa. Overall a very enjoyable experience and one of the Highlights of my trip to Istanbul!

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    Overall it was decent. Learnt a lot about the coffee culture of Türkiye. I was more interested in the Fortune Telling workshop which is widely known around the world. It was a but disappointing as the exact location wasn’t provided in the “Get Your Guide” App. When we arrived at the Hafiz Mustafa cafe and asked for the workshop, the staff seem pissed as to why everyone was asking them about the fortune telling workshop. It wasn’t a terrible experience but wasn’t a good one either, especially when you have to switch locations, pay about 20 euros and don’t get what you expect.

    The workshop was just amazing. I got a pick up from my area to the workshop location. The place is cozy and felt a bit like a living room. In Germany we say "gemütlich". The people and guides were super friendly and explained everything in a nice way (as well some history, not only how to do things). The workshop was pure fun! I totally recommend it, plus you get the lamp and have nice memories for home! Just do it and get your own lamp!!!

    Очень понравилось. Занятие легко и быстро сплотило интернациональную группу. На мероприятии был и русскоговорящий организатор, но мне было это не принципиально. Помимо самого мастеркласса, была вводная историческая часть. А, в процессе печеньки и кофе по желанию. У нас быди и дети и взрослые, все остались в восторге. Тепло, уютно, практически по-семейному. Рекомендую.
