REVIEWS
Hear from our guests about their experiences in Istanbul Workshops. Personalized, engaging, and memorable.
Everything was just the best. From meeting Bünyamin to going to the workshop, attending the workshop, tasting the coffee and him guiding us back to original meeting place. I would recommend this as being the best Istanbul experience.masser af ny viden, så hyggeligt, sjovt og rigtig god værtThe workshop is very close to the No. 15 Bus station and is easy to find. Since I was alone, I had a three-hour private experience. The guide first explained the history of Turkish lamps to me and brought me coffee and fresh cookies. I first used a template to design the pattern. The guide provided me with various kinds of help every step of the way and helped me find the pattern. Or create more beads and glass accessories. The service staff was very friendly and attentive to all my needs. You can also experience the history of Turkish coffee in the workshop (I noticed another interesting project being carried out next table). In addition to the workshop, the decoration of the garden coffee shop is also very special and there are many cats. All in all a great place to relax and make memories :) I highly recommend.Benjamin is the best host you can wish for. He is super nice and gives you a lot of information about the Turkish coffee culture. He also very patiently showed us how to prepare the coffee and the "fundamentals" of fortune telling. Everything in a very relaxing atmosphere and a cozy cafè easy to reach. Definitely we recommend this activity if you visit turkeyAdorámos!

Fun and educationalNagyon jól éreztük magunkat! Jó volt a szervezés, 3 opció közül választhattunk, hogy hogyan szeretnénk eljutni a workshop helyszínére, mi azt választottuk, hogy találkozunk a szervezőkkel az Európai oldalon és együtt megyünk át Ázsiába a foglalkozás helyszínére. Zökkenő mentes volt a kommunikáció, segítőkész volt mindenki! Ajánlom mindenkinek ezt az élményt! A foglalkozás után megkóstoltuk a kávézó sajttortáját, ami ISTENI volt! Nem bántuk meg, hogy részt vettünk a foglalkozáson!:)Amazing experience! The guide came and met us and we got the tram together to the activity. The activity itself was so fun.. we weren’t rushed and they helped us along the way with each step of the process. High recommendThe experience, was really lovely.

We really enjoyed it. Recommended!Nice experience in pleasant surroundings providing value for money. Our only reservation was the location, we believed we were booking something on the European side but this was a pick up point so there was a longer journey that envisaged.Très bon accueil et rapport qualité prix. Vous repartez avec un joli souvenir.This was really fun and a very unique experience if you like baby kittens your sure ti see them running around as you make your lamps , I would recommend this experienceSuper schöner Nachmittag. Mit Hilfe der Schablonen hat man auch erste Ideen, die man dann verfeinern kann. Sehr schönes Andenken an den Urlaub.the story telling of coffee and the hostLovely activity to go with your friends and meet new people.Aleyna was such a compassionate instructor. She helped us through and explained everything thoroughly. She also picked us up from our meeting point to the location which I appreciated. She helped me on which mosque to pray to. Not just that, she kindly helped and taught me how to use the marmaray train and made sure I made home safely. Thank you so much Aleyna! I loved the workshop! If you’re planning to participate in the workshop, please do so!!!!It has been a very interesting experience. I truly enjoyed this workshop. Our trainer, Aleyna patiently guided us through the process. It was very light and easy and we were given the freedom to experiment with our creativity. It is so exciting and fulfilling to see how the lamp decoration turn out after switching the light on. Definitely not forgetting the hospitality and cay and coffee serving a few times while we were working on our lamps. Really appreciate it.Traditional Turkish Calligraphy Workshop

I am very happy that I found this workshop in Istanbul! Benjamin is an amazing person, he helped me to personalize my own Turkish lamp. It was an amazing experience, I really suggest it to everyone especially who, like me, is a solo traveler!It was so fun! Not super relaxing as we got a bit stressed trying to find colours for our patterns at first. The guide explained everything really clearly and our end result lamps look lovely. Would definitely recommend, is very good value for money and it shows you just how hard it is to make the Turkish mosaic lampsGot a question? We're here to answer!
