It was a great workshop, which allowed me to express my creative side and create a very unique gift for a loved one.

Bunyamin and Fatih are awesome hosts. Fatih picked us up from the European side and took us over to the workshop. He was super welcoming and really great to get to know. There we met Bunyamin, who was a really cool and patient dude. he took his time with us, helping us come up with ideas and decorating the lamps. he also wanted to get to know us so it felt really personalized. I honestly can't reccomend the lantern making workshop enough! it was so much fun and such a nice relaxing way to spend some time in between site seeing. My dad and i both left with lamps we were really proud of. I can't recommend this experience enough!!

We had a good experience and the guide was friendly and explained everything very well! Coffee was great! Recommend this!

Eine schöne und interessante Erfahrung. Wir können den Kurs weiterempfehlen:)

I really had so much fun at this experience. It was a great opportunity to be artistic while also having meaningful conversations. I really love the vibe of the shop and the hosts were extremely welcoming and friendly. i learned so much about Turkish culture and customs on an individual level and it was really enlightening to hear. Highly recommend if you're looking for an activity and to connect with people 😊

It was great to have a time experiencing Turkish coffee. He was really kind and was a best storyteller

Expérience magnifique 🌟 à faire absolument! Que ca soit entres ami(e)s, en couple ou même seul. Beaucoup plus sympa que d’acheter une lampe toute faite au Grand Bazar. Merci à Benyamin il a été top de A à Z.

Standartların dışında farklı bir deneyim oldu bizim için. Bünyamin Bey'in anlatımı bilgili olduğunu belli ediyordu. Kız arkadaşımın doğum günü olduğunu önceden belirtmiştim ufak bir süpriz yapılması da ayrı hoşumuza gitti. Ayrıca da sıcak, tatlı bir ortamda aktiviteyi gerçekleştirmek de bizim için keyif vericiydi. Denemek isteyenler gönül rahatlığıyla gidebilirler bu etkinliğe.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A unique and memorable experience in Istanbul! My mom and I booked this experience because my mom LOVES Turkish mosaic lamps, and we thought it would be fun to make our own. Benjamin picked us up at the big Hafiz Mustafa in Sirkeci and took us over to the Asian side of Istanbul on the metro, and it was a short walk to the workshop from the train. The class began with a brief informative presentation on the history of glass mosaic lamps and some basic instructions. Each place setting was equipped with the necessary supplies, as well as a selection of cookies and Turkish tea. With ambient music (and a great playlist!), we had about an hour to design our own lamps. Then, we glued the designs onto the lamp. I was a little unsure about my fine motor skills, but everything turned out great! 😃 Before we left, Benjamin packed up the lamp globes in bubble wrap and gave each of us a certificate of appreciation. My mom and I were looking for a place to grab dinner after, and Benjamin gave us a great recommendation! DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND SIGN UP FOR THIS AMAZING EXPERIENCE!

The mosaic lamp workshop is fantastic - it’s such a great activity to slow down the pace of Istanbul. I would highly recommend this!

My family & I had an AMAZING experience. Instead of buying one, we got to make our own Turkish lamps which was priceless. Bunyamin was amazing. He welcomed us & helped us make our imaginations come to life. He even changed the lamps to 110v because we live in the United States. I HIGHLY recommend anyone to book this experience !!!

Good and a lot of information! We had a lot of fun

Wonderful experience!!

Simplesmente sensacional. Foi incrível conhecer mais da história do café turco e da Turquia em si. E aprender a fazer o café e ler o futuro foi incrível!

What a great experience! Loved Bunyamin's introduction to the coffee culture of Turkish people and all the anecdotes. You also get to learn about the coffee culture of the other participant's countries. And I now have the knowledge and tools needed to make Turkish coffee from home. We even went to the Grand Bizaar the following day to get our own grinder. Such a fun and unforgettable experience! Highly recommended.

it was a great experience for me :) I see that Turkish people do not attend so much. It is a joyful activity for us too :D You will get a decorative night lamb with a signature of yours. the making progress itself was also fun. Thanks for everything :)

Great experience! Interesting explaing story of coffee

Nous avons énormément apprécié cet atelier que nous recommandons sans hésiter ! De l'accueil aux explications en passant par l'atmosphère du lieu, tout était pensé en détail.L'activité et les personnes que nous avons rencontrées nous ont permis de vivre une expérience incroyable.. Encore une fois un grand merci à Bünyamin et Fatih,À bientôt

Ein super schönes Café und eine tolle Atmosphäre. Der Workshop hat wirklich sehr Spaß gemacht und ist sehr empfehlenswert!!! Bünyamin hat sich für alle einzeln sehr viel Zeit genommen und ist auf alle bedürfnisse eingegangen. Der Kaffe war super lecker und der endlose Cay und Kekse Service auch😉.Eine super Erinnerung, die Lampen sehen sooo schön aus😍

The workshop was a great experience. Our host was kind and helpful, and the cafe workshop was a cool environment. Things were well organized and the atmosphere was very welcoming. There were so many choices for colours and designs, and we could use templates or go wild with our own creativity. It was a great way to spend an afternoon in Istanbul, and the lamp I made will be a treasured reminder of the trip for many years to come!

Everything is super! You have to experience this coffee making, and the host is so nice!

Loved this workshop! Bunyamin was really great and friendly, the location was lovely and the lamp designing was fun and relaxing. Definitely recommend!

Fun experience and perfect to socialise with more people! Benjamin knows a lot and was so much fun! It’s really easy to get to Fabrikafa and the surrounding area has lots of restaurants and nice stores! This works perfect if you want to enjoy your day between Usküdar and Kadiköy. Short, entertaining plus you get a souvenir

A great way to learn the history and be immersed in Turkeys coffee culture!
