    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Benjamin a été très pédagogue et disponible tout au long de l'atelier. La prise en charge du transport jusqu'au lieux, le thé et l'eau à volonté ainsi que des cookies ont été fournies en illimité. Le matériel et mosaïque fournis étaient de qualité. Toutes ces prestations et le prix proposé valent le détour !

    We did this with our 5, 6, and 8 year old kids and they loved it (as did we). Aleyna was very patient and helpful and we are all very proud of our creations! They'll be a wonderful reminder of Turkey when we are home! :)Also, Bunyamin was super at communicating with us prior to the activity and we really appreciated that!
