    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Ci siamo trovati abbastanza bene, il luogo in cui si svolge il laboratorio è molto frequentato (non ho capito se oltre agli altri laboratori ci sia anche un bar o qualcosa del genere). Nella totalità è andato bene ma penso che il tutto sia stato un po’ troppo approssimativo, una spiegazione iniziale e poi il lavoro si svolge in autonomia. Abbiamo avuto fortuna di trovare un gruppo socievole ma se così non fosse secondo me dovrebbe essere implementata di più l’interazione con l’host

    Fantastici, ci siamo divertiti molto e loro sono molto simpatici. Consigliatissimo! Anche perché abbiamo fatto lampade più belle di quelle che si trovano in giro nei bazar😜

    Ali was our instructor for the session, he was very helpful in advising us the type of pieces to use to make the lamp really stand out. It was an amazing experience, and we get to take home our personalised lamp. It was really enjoyable ☺️

    If you’re looking for a fun, cultural, crafty activity to do I would highly recommend this experience! Bunyamin and Zeynep were both very helpful and knowledgeable, and communicated very well in English. Getting to take home a beautiful lamp is the icing on the cake!

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    Ali was our instructor for this session, and his storytelling about the history of Turkish coffee was great. The instructions for making the coffee were very clear and precise. It was a cost session, and everyone got the ample attention in coffee making and asking of questions. The experience was great, and we left with some souvenirs too! It was unexpected, and a really nice touch to the whole experience. We enjoyed ourselves a lot!

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    We've lived in Istanbul for three years now and I looked around at different mosaic lamp making courses and this looked like the best so I decided to try it out for my partner and her mother and they absolutely loved it. The instructors were very friendly and they were very communitive before the date making sure that we were comfortable in getting to their workshop. It's a real value for money and overall an amazing experience. I would recommend this to anyone that loves arts and crafts, and anyone interested in an unique Turkish experience.

    Ali was a (Turkish) delight from start to finish! He meet us at the train station and was calm and kind even though we were in a rush and late (Istanbul traffic ‍️). He was funny and knowledgeable when presenting his coffee class - we had a great time and got all his questions right at the end! We recommend this completely. Thanks Ali!

    Aleyna hosted me, she is such a wonderful person, not only she picked me up from the pier, also very helpful for whatever question I had about the history of Istanbul, she even showed me places and gave a brief tour on the way to the lamp session! During the lamp session she is also very well explained everything, couldn’t make it without her professional skills! I highly recommend it!!!

    What a wonderful experience with the most hospitable people! Had such a nice time with the gang, learning all about the introduction of coffee into Turkish culture over half a century ago! Who knew coffee could be so interesting!And on top of that we got to drink a great cup of coffee, that we roasted ourselves! Thank you coffee gang! Zeynep and Ali were great team members. I will definitely recommend this to my friends 😊
