    Perfume Making Workshop review

    I really enjoyed this perfume-making workshop led by Mustafa. Everything worked out perfectly from start to finish — a person picked our group up on the European side and got the train tickets for us to the Asian side. Mustafa was both knowledgeable and fun, which made the workshop not only informative but also genuinely enjoyable. I learned a lot about scents and composition, and I appreciated that he also shared recommendations on where to buy high-quality perfume oils in Istanbul. Overall, it was a unique and memorable experience and definitely worth the money. I highly recommend this workshop to anyone visiting Istanbul.

    Istanbul:Original Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop w/ Snacks review

    Everything was great since before the activity began, we met at the meeting point from the European side where we were accompanied to the workshop, they explained very detailed the story and meaning of the mosaic lam, the snacks and tea/coffee are a great plus, and the friendly and professional staff as well. Highly recommend

    Turkish Tile Painting & Ceramic Workshop w/ Snacks review

    One of the absolute highlights of our trip to Türkiye! We were met and guided to the workshop by Bahar who was very helpful and friendly. We were instructed by the very talented artist Berra who was very patient and helpful. We loved it and would definitely recommend it to anyone else in Istanbul

    Istanbul:Original Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop w/ Snacks review

    This was SO much fun! I just wish there was a bit more time, it could’ve just been me but I felt really rushed. The coffee and cookies were nice but it felt that you just didn’t even have enough time to stop and have a snip. They looked absolutely incredible at the end and it was super cute to see the kids get really creative. I think if it was just an extra 30 minutes it would be heaps more enjoyable! Definitely an experience for everyone at all ages to do and it’s an awesome souvenir to take home, brings smile every time it’s light up! If the option was there I would’ve paid extra to also do a tealight too

    Perfume Making Workshop review

    It was a new experience for us as a couple, for me especially, for a very long time I wanted to go to a perfume workshop, I wanted to learn how to produce a perfume, I wanted to produce my own perfume. Yesterday with the help of the instructor I fulfilled this dream. I learned the basics of a perfume, how to mix essences to produce a quality product. It was a pleasant and unforgettable experience.

    Unsere Workshop Leiterin hat sich sehr viel Zeit für uns genommen uns alles zu erklären und zu zeigen, woe die Lampen herzustellen sind. Zudem wurden wir abgeholt und der Metrotransfer wurde bezahlt. Es gab kostenlosen Tee, Filterkaffee und türkischen Kaffee. Alles in allem sehr weiterzuempfehlen.
