Es war auf jeden Fall eine Erfahrung wert, insbesondere, wenn man Kaffee so gerne trinkt wie ich. Aziz hat einen guten Job gemacht. Die Location an sich war auch schön. Würde es weiter empfehlen

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

It was amazing. Bunyan I met us on the European side and we had a nice conversation as we took the train to the Asian side and walked to the fun workshop/cafe. It was thoroughly enjoyed by all the family and were excited with our special lamps.

Our host was very knowledgeable and fun. The workshop was interactive. I was expecting some fun with fortunetelling but we only got a card with sign meanings and were told how to turn the cup.

Ce fut une belle expérience. Mes enfants se sont investis grâce à la bonne ambiance, la gentillesse, à l'attention et l'écoute de notre guide Benjamin. la sympathie et la bonne humeur y régnaient. l'atelier était fort intéressant et nous étions ravis de rapporter nos lampes avec nous. Merci encore une fois pour tout et le thé offert.

Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

Мастер-класс был интересным. Нас забрали из Европейской части и помогли добраться до кафе в Азиатской части. Атмосфера заведения приятная (но это не отдельная комната, рядом проходят люди). Обсудили историю появления кофе в Турции и традиции. Также попробовали сварить два вида кофе на газовой горелке (на выбор). Из приятного - перед началом раздали питьевую воду в квадратом стакане (очень по-турецки). Из минусов: первый человек, который пробует варить один из видов кофе, по сути сам его не варит (ему помогают во всем), поэтому остаётся ощущение, что сам не сварил себе эту чашку кофе, а попробовать сварить еще одну нет возможности. Скорректируйте, пожалуйста, этот момент на будущее ;)

Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

The activity was super great and interesting. Aziz told us a lot about Turkey's coffee culture and the atmosphere was super friendly. We had the opportunity of trying different type of coffee (the pistachio one was delicious!) and even got a gift in the end. We completely recommend! Thanks Aziz for this moment.

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

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…
