Istanbul:Original Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop w/ Snacks review

An für sich ein wirklich toller Workshop, es wurde alles genau erklärt und man konnte immer Fragen stellen. Sehr zu empfehlen! Leider haben die 30 Minuten am Ende zur Trocknung nicht gereicht und meine ganzen Steine sind abgefallen und haben sich verschoben als ich zuhause angekommen bin. Besser 1 Stunde warten und in der Zeit irgendwo essen gehen oder so.

This was a truly wonderful experience! I really enjoyed it. The place is cozy, and the instructors explain all the steps very clearly to help you create your own piece. I would definitely do it again and highly recommend it!

Istanbul:Original Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop w/ Snacks review

çok keyif aldığım bir etkinlikti. hiçbir şey bilmenize gerek yok çalışanlar çok güzel şekilde sizi yönlendiriyor. bizimle mehmet bey ilgilendi ama eminim bütün çalışanlar aynı özveriye sahip. seanstaki tek türk bendim bu yüzden eğitim ingilizce şekilde gerçekleşti ama türkçe destek de vardı. ikramlar açıklamada belirtildiği gibiydi çok lezzetli kurabiyeler vardı ben biraz erken gelmiştim ve beklerken türk kahvesi ikram edildi onun dışında workshop boyunca da asla çaysız kalmadık. sonuç olarak lambama bayıldım ve ufak bi araştırmayla hazır bu lambalar workshop ücretinden pahalıya satıldığını fark ettim kesinlikle deneyim ücretini sonuna kadar hak ediyor. bu sefer yalnız gitmiştim ama mutlaka sevdiklerimle tekrar geleceğim.

All was very well organised. We would never believe what results we can achieve in making a lamp:) I took three men with me, and they were so into it. Definitely recommend this workshop as it is an unforgettable memory for all of us now. Easily reached from Sirkeci metro station. It is literally the next stop. However, the guide will pick you up at the Sirkeci meeting point, so you do not need to worry about how to get to the place.

Activity was good. Only thing is it’s very far from Karakoy and I was left alone after the last session. No one was with me to guide, The instructor or workshop was very kind she wrote everything in detail which train to take how to change. But that was something I was not prepared for. Class experience and teaching was too good of someone stays that side else I would recommend to attend same workshop in karakoy

Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

This workshop is one of the unforgettable experience I did in Turkey. I learned so much about Turkish coffee culture and how to make a great cup of coffee from my instructor Tanur. I got a taste and smell of one of the best coffee I had, and fortune telling is an added fun part of this workshop, I don't believe in fortune telling but within this week all of it came true, I did this workshop last Monday, so glad I did this.
