Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

Азиз - очень приятный молодой человек. Он хорошо владеет английским и русским языками. Он встретил нас около станции метро и проводил до мастерской. Потом был интересный рассказ об истории кофе и сам мастер-класс по приготовлению турецкого кофе. Буду теперь пробовать варить дома.

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

The whole experience was amazing. Our mentor met at the set time at a set place, took us to the work shop which was hardly 10 minutes away. Everything was explained at the work shop, full help and guidance was provided throughout the event, coffee was great, everyone from the workshop team were very helpful, friendly and supportive. Our mentor Mustafa was outstanding and ready to go out of way to help throughout and even after the class took us back to the station when it was pouring outside. Had a great time in the workshop and also ended up with a good looking Turkish mosaic lamp! I would definitely recommend this activity.

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

Es war ein super cooler Workshop! Zu Beginn gab es ganz entspannt einen türkischen Çay zum ankommen. Die Mitarbeiter sind total freundlich und cool drauf. Das Herstellen der Lampen hat mega viel Spaß gemacht. Zudem war das Ergebnis super. Wir waren sehr zufrieden und happy mit unseren Lampen. Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ist unschlagbar! Kann mir tatsächlich vorstellen den Kurs nochmal zu besuchen, wenn ich das nächste mal in Istanbul bin. Danke für die schöne Zeit bei euch! 😊

Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

Mustafa was a fantastic host and shared a huge amount of info about turkisk coffee traditions and how to make it. Clear communications before the event, which made it easy on the day. The course was well structured with the right balance of theory and practical. Making the coffee was fun and the fortune telling was fun and a nice touch. The day was rounded off with a nice little present to take away.

Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

Der ganze Workshop war rundum gelungen! Es hatte bereits mit einer pünktlichen und freundlichen Abholung begonnen und war bis zum Ende unterhaltsam, witzig, abwechslungsreich und lehrreich. Wir haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt und würden jedem empfehlen ebenfalls an dem Workshop teilzunehmen. Nun können wir auch die Kaffeezeremonie mit nach Hause nehmen.

Traditional Stained Glass Painting Workshop review

I can only agree with what has already been mentioned in the other reviews. We spent a lovely afternoon away from the hustle and bustle on the asian side of Istanbul in a nice café where Eda and Ali showed us how to stain glass. Note: you can choose your motif from a variety of templates, so you don't have to be creative. Thank you for the wonderfull afternoon, Eda and Ali.

Ich konnte sehr viel über die Geschichte von der türkischen Kaffee lernen. Der Guide hat uns alles sehr genau und interessant erklärt. Den Kaffee selber zu machen und auch noch auf so viele wichtige Details zu achten, hat besonders Spass gemacht! Ich empfehle den Workshop allen, die sich vom türkischen Kaffee und Kultur inspirieren möchten!

Es war total entspannend die Lampen in der kleinen Gruppe herzustellen. Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich jedem raten kann. Die Lampe kommt inklusive Glühbirne so dass man zuhause gleich etwas vom Urlaubsfeeling hat.

Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

Мастер класс для меня провёл Азиз. Прекрасная идея на мой взгляд. Восхищает современная молодежь, которая придумывает такие интересные проекты. Мы погрузились в историю кофе, что в давние времена изначально его пили султаны. Я узнала происхождние самого популярного бренда - Мехмет Эфенди. Научилась, буду надеяться, что научилась делать кофе по-турецки))) Азиз отлично говорит на русском, приятный собеседник, глубоко владеет материалом. Понравилось и рекомендую!

Amazing Activity for an afternoon. Picked up on the European side by the friendly Aziz and brought to the Asian side via metro (included in the price). Very nice cafe and excellent instruction with free tea, coffee and water throughout. Enjoyed some delicious cookies and crepes while we waited for our lamps to dry. Bumped into the manager as we were about to get the boat back and he kindly brought us on the boat back to the European side as part of the experience. 10/10 activity for solo travellers, couples and families!
