Very interesting less about the rich history of Turkish coffee. The hoster was a very nice person. I highly recommend it.

We have really enjoyed the workshop with a group of friends and had a great time there. Communication was very good with clear instructions on how to get there, everything went as planned and we got nice souvenirs with us after the workshop. Highly recommended!

It was a great experience and an opportunity to engage with the culture in a tactile way. The workshop included a lot of historical insight into the activity which made the workshop even more fun. Would definitely recommend as an activity for solo travellers or families.

Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

This was a brilliant activity. Aziz met us on European side and brought us to location by metro. We got a background of coffee and fortune telling history in Turkey and we also got to make our own coffee as well as try some other coffees there. At the end we also got a gift bag from them. Highly recommended and great value for money

It was a good activity. We got to design our lamps, make them and keep them. I personally felt I could've done with more assistance, hence our activity took longer than the stated time. Other than that thoroughly enjoyable

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

Отличная Экскурсия на последний день в Стамбуле. Все организовано прекрасно. Но, самое главное это то, что мужчины, организовав это занятное мероприятие для женщин, могут более 2-х часов побыть в одиночестве за чашкой чудесно приготовленного кофе. При этом женщины в восторге от результата

Both me and my husband enjoyed ourselves. It was a pleasant experience, we spent 3 hours of relaxation and the finished lamps were amazing. Thank you Aziz for giving us this opportunity. You and your friends at the workshop were fantastic and so welcoming towards us. The homemade cookies were great too😊

Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

An enchanting journey into Turkish coffee! Aziz's workshop was more than a lesson; it was an experience. From the rich history of coffee in Turkey to hands-on brewing, every moment was engaging. I learned two authentic brewing methods and even crafted my own cup. The playful fortune-telling with coffee grounds added a magical touch. Plus, meeting wonderful people who share this newfound passion has been a delight. Aziz's personal and interactive approach made it truly special. Highly recommend for a delightful blend of knowledge, culture, and camaraderie!
