Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

Приятный рассказчик, приятное место, типа частной кофейни, в уютной улочке на азиатской стороне. Показали пару рецептов и дали самим приготовить кофе, но не на песке, как некоторые ожидали.

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

The activity was extremely fun! It was a great time to get creative and create an amazing souvenir instead of buying something from the shop! Elayna was a great guide as well, was always on hand to explain or help whenever we needed it. Also, çay was given which made the experience even more therapeutic

Had a wonderful experience with Ali our host. He was good fun and enhanced the whole course, from meeting us off-site and taking us to the venue. He was Excellent in explaining the history and guided you through actually making your own Turkish Coffee. Well done!

Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

Good value for money. Loved everything about it. Well taught and explained and the story telling was on point. Went with my 11 yr old daughter and she also enjoyed it. So a good experience for children, I would say over 10 yrs even if they cant have coffee. No harm in tasting it. The only dawnside was the meeting point in Istanbul was in front of a shop in a very busy area so lots of people walking and not much pavement space

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

De gids was vriendelijk. Mooie workshop ruimte en er waren genoeg materialen om mee te werken. Alleen weinig uitleg en achtergrond informatie over mozaïeken. Na 2 uur was de lamp klaar. De lijm moest drogen. Toen was onze docent verdwenen, hij was gaan wandelen met andere cursisten zonder het ons te zeggen. Beetje gek vonden wij. Er werden ook geen zelfgebakken koekjes uitgedeeld zoals omschreven…

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

Ha sido un curso muy divertido con gente muy agradable!El único fallo es que para poder fabricar la lámpara no había variedad de colores en los cristales. Amo el color azul y soñaba con hacer una lámpara de ese color, pues no…..Mi acompañante igual pero en color rosa…..Ninguna tonalidad ni de azul, ni de rosa……

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

This was very fun experience! We really wanted to take home Turkish lamps and this was even more special than buying them from the bazaar because we made it ourselves. They have the workshop in a cafe on the Anatolian side. We met a guide on the European side and they sent clear directions. It was a quick metro ride to the other side and a 5 min walk to the cafe. They had unlimited tea and coffee and has food to purchase if you don’t have a chance to eat before. Ali and Benjamin were fantastic instructors and guides. Workshop takes about 3 hours but definitely a unique and fun experience.

My partner and I loved this experience. The workshop was quite structured and easy to understand. The host was very patient and hospitable and made sure that everything is clear. The coffee and snacks were quite good. And this whole experience gives you unique and nice vibes. During the workshop, you feel relaxed and superb about doing something creative. We were very happy about our lamps, that's truly a splendid experience and the memories of the workshop and Istanbul will be with you forever. Although, our host was late, there is only positive things in the end.
