    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Здравствуйте! Хотела бы поблагодарить организаторов за очень интересный мастер-класс. У нас была большая компания из 7 человек. Мы сделали подарок-сюрприз нашему другу. Все материалы были подготовлены к нашему приходу. Нам все подробно рассказали и показали. Три часа пролетели незаметно. Мы все получили огромное удовольствие от процесса. Будем вспоминать этот день и любоваться подарком, сделанным своими руками. Фонарик очень надежно упаковали и мы без проблем привезли его домой.

    Ходила в экскурсию с дочкой (15 лет). Мы остались очень довольны! Создали два красивых фонарика своими руками и привезли их домой в качестве сувениров! Сам мастер-класс завораживает! Уютная и атмосферная мастерская, приятный ведущий! Нас окружили вниманием и дружелюбием! От всего сердца рекомендую этот мастер-класс!

    Fantastic experience. The hosts were super helpful and informative. You can either stay in the cafe as the glue sets or wander the local area and grab a bite to eat or do a little shopping. Would really recommend this experience as we got to take a handmade souvenir back home that reminds us of our trip.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    We had a wonderful time at this class! You have the full 3 hours to create whatever you want (they give you help and guidance but you are free to be creative) and they were very patient with us when we couldn't decide on colours too! It is in a cute little cafe in a cool part of the city on the Asia side with some great restaurants around for afterwards too. Easily accessible by metro or the ferry. Would absolutely recommend as something fun and different, and it is excellent value

    Рады, что посетили эту экскурсию! Организатор предложил несколько мест для встречи, чтобы мы не потерялись для нас это было важно, тк были в Стамбуле впервые. Теперь мы в холодной российской столице по вечерам включаем сделанные своими руками светильники! Смело бронируйте места на мастер класс - не пожалеете)

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    I can’t praise this activity highly enough. The instructors and staff were very friendly and helpful, and the lamp decorating turned out to be the highlight of our trip. You can be as creative as you like, or follow traditional pattern templates. We found it very calming and peaceful, and a good break from the hustle and bustle of the city. Afterwards you have a lovely souvenir that is more special and meaningful than one you buy in a store. The workshop itself is in a beautiful location with a gorgeous café, and after you’ve finished (and waiting for the glue to dry) it’s a good area to walk around and explore.

    I arrived late to the class (traffic in Istanbul is something else!) but Bunyamin and Ali were helpful throughout helping me to navigate to the venue. Real value for money and fun meeting people from around the world all visiting this beautiful city. Hosts were also kind enough to keep the lamp safe while I explored the surrounds and did some amazing shopping after the class.

    This was a great way to start the morning on the Asian side of Istanbul! The workshop was relaxed and a lot of fun, it felt nice to make a lamp i could take home rather than buy one. lots of color options and we didn't feel rushed at all!

    I was picked up on time at the location as well as others who had signed up. We followed Aziz to the metro and guided us to the location of the workshop where he introduced the activity and all the supplies. He was there in case anyone needed help. There was an endless supply of coffee or tea while you worked on your lamp. They even gave us cookies! After we decorated the lamp, a bulb and stand was supplied so it was a full blown lamp! Not just the part we decorated. I was very happy with the result. After the activity was over we made our own way back.

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    We booked this tour in Oct 2023 and had a wonderful fun evening with Ali and his team. Ali is a very pleasant young man who takes great care of his guests. My wife and I were met by Ali at the designated meeting point and he accompanied us from there to his workshop. We were joined by another Irish young lady. The 3 of us had a nice enjoyable and interactive presentation and a coffee tasting session where we were told the history and nuances of making Turkish coffee and it's cultural significance. We actually made some Turkish coffee ourselves ! In the end we were also given a nice surprise gift ! Ali is a great host who is ever willing to assist you with any kind of assistance you may need during your trip. He will also guide you back to your hotel or wherever you want to go after the workshop. Wish we had done it in the beginning of our tour but, nevertheless, it was the grand finale of our visit to the beautiful Istanbul. Highly recommended.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    This was the highlight of our trip for my teenagers. We really enjoyed designing our own lamps. May I suggest showing examples of what lamps could look like and possibly offering more vibrant colors like red, purple or royal blue glass. Otherwise, great activity. Meeting up with the tour provider and taking the ferry over was ideal. If in doubt, make the lamps and create memories that will last a lifetime.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    We had the best time making mosaic lamps at this beautiful cafe on the Asia side of Istanbul, both our guides were so lovely and gave great tips for perfecting our lamps and they’ve turned out fabulous! They even bubble wrap the lamp for safe transport and the endless cups of tea coffee and water were great too.
