Bunyamin was a great instructor. Enthusiastic, approachable and gave clear, concise instructions.He further gave ideas about personalizing our Mosaic , but didn't dictate our designs, and just let us do our own thing. Absolutely recommend, especially if you're visiting and want a personalized momento of your trip. We really enjoyed the details presentation provided giving us confidence to trust the process and make beautiful lamps together.Not to forget the great coffee shop and the unique vibe of the place !! All the thumbs up and keep up the great work brother 👏👏

Really fun experience! Learned a lot about the history of Turkish coffee, and got to sample a few varieties and styles of coffee

Worth it.

It was such a great experience. The Host was rellay friendly. The "cat" Coworker Crepe was also especially nice to us. I defenetly recommend this workshop!!!! nice atmosphere, clean, helpful, all in all perfect.

BRILLIANT!

This experience was simply amazing and so unique. Bunyamin took us through a brief history behind the turkish lamps, then showed us the different designs and guided us through the realisation of our design of choice.The workshop was truly lovely and the activity was so authentic, it only takes three hours but it felt like we spent the whole day with Bunyamin and the other guests in a very endearing environment.anyone who has a morning or afternoon to spare should do it, you even get to ake home your own handmade turkish lamp :)

I had the best time at this workshop! Not only is it a fun creative experience with a beautiful keepsake to take home, it is also great way to learn more about Turkish culture. Bunyamin went above and beyond to make us feel at home, providing food, tea, snacks, and stories. This was one of my favorite experiences in Istanbul!

Bunyamin was very friendly and helped us very well since we were not an easy group (older person and little children).

Bunyamin is a very caring and attentive host. The most difficult process for me was the design of the lamp, as there was a large selection of glass and beads, combinations of colors and shapes. The atmosphere is very cozy, as if you came to visit a good friend. Totally worth to visit!

Had a great afternoon with Benjamin. He introduced us the culture of Turkish lamp and we enjoyed crafting it. It was a fantastic experience, highly recommend.

Had a great time at this excursion! Loved the story telling and the host was lovely. Please thoroughly check the message sent from the host after booking the experience, as the workshop actually takes place in the Asian side (Üsküdar) instead of the old city as it shows on the map :)

This was an incredible experience, much better than we could have imagined! Bunyamin is a great teacher and super accommodating, he picked us up and took us to the workshop, teaching us a bit about the city on the way. He was very friendly and engaging and made us feel very at home!The workshop cafe is a cute place with lots of charm, and a very friendly cat too! It was a really warm and welcoming atmosphere, and we were given coffees/teas and homemade cookies on arrival which was a nice touch!The mosaic lamp workshop was a lot of fun, therapeutic and a very enjoyable experience all round. Bunyamin taught us the history of the lamps and the area we were in, and gave us free reign on our designs, but was ready and able to offer a hand if we needed it. My partner and I ended up with a beautiful lamp each that we're proudly displaying in our home, as a lovely reminder of our time in Istanbul.When booking this event, I messed up and booked the wrong date, but Bunyamin was super accommodating and let us work at the date we turned up to with no issues. He made us feel very comfortable even though it was entirely my mistake.I thoroughly recommend this experience to anyone who visits Istanbul. Great value, wonderful host and space and a brilliant handmade souvenir from your time in this city!

Amazing experience - we got to decorate our own Turkish lamps using glass pieces and glue. Bunyamin was a great instructor and really let us use our own creativity on our lamps. It was a neat workshop to make some Turkish crafts and get to know more about the culture of the country! Cannot recommend it enough!

This experience was lovely! Bunyamin did a great job explaining the creative process, so everyone had beautiful lamps by the end of the workshop 😁 The atmosphere was very relaxing, and it was a great way to start my day in Istanbul. Highly recommend this experience 😊

I would highly recommend this if you are like me and live Turkish lamps. I completely lost myself for 2 hours while decorating the lamp. And I love the lamp I made. ❤️

This workshop was absolutely wonderful! Not only did we get to learn about the history of Turkish coffee, the oldest coffeehouse in Istanbul, and how to make Turkish coffee, we were able to learn the art of Turkish fortune-telling! Bunyamin was very knowledgable and also gave us these little cards with common translations which was helpful for my trip overall. You also leave with a little goody bag to get started on your own Turkish coffee-making adventures which is greatly appreciated!

Expérience à la fois créative, ludique dans une ambiance très sympathique! Bunyamin est un super Hote, il est venu nous chercher suite à une incompréhension, encore merci pour ton aide et sa bienveillance. L’atelier est très convivial dans un endroit fort agréable. Les 2 enfants de 9 et 12 ans ont adoré l’expérience tout comme moi. Et l’on repart avec une jolie lampe. Super expérience, allez y les yeux fermés!

Really fun and interesting way to spend a couple of hours in a great location and with a brilliant host in Bunyamin. Highly recommended

The experience was fantastic, great way to be creative and meet other people with plenty of çay. Bunyamin was super helpful and his patience is certainly envied! Thoroughly enjoyed it and a cool souvenir to bring back home.

Merci pour l’accueil

The whole experience was so special. Bunyamen is an accommodating and knowledgeable host. Highly recommend for visitors seeking a more personalized, intimate, cultural fun experience.

My husband and I enjoyed the workshop! It’s one of the main highlights of our trip in Istanbul!

Such a great and unique experience! Loved it.

Great experience, great value, great personalization and story telling, highly recommended!
