    Istanbul:Original Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop w/ Snacks review

    Bardzo fajne warsztaty, byliśmy na nich całą rodziną, z wybrednymi nastolatkami. Po krótkim wstępie teoretyczno-historycznym przystąpiliśmy do wykonania własnej lampy. Jak się okazało, układanie mozaiki nie jest takie proste i wymaga uwagi i cierpliwości. Ale efekt końcowy jest wart wysiłku. Warsztat ciekawie prowadzony, Pani instruktorka chętnie udzielała rad i wskazówek. Polecam każdemu 😀

    I loved this! It was a nice break from a busy and active day. The instructor, Aicha, was lovely and very helpful. I have a beautiful (if I do say so myself!) lamp for my home. I wish I would have planned my time better to take the coffee and fortune-telling offering by the same provider.

    Fun, informative lamp making workshop. Our guide was very helpful, explained everything clearly, and made the whole experience enjoyable for all. There was plenty of time to complete the lamp and all refreshments (tea, coffee, biscuits) were included with the price. For those staying on the European side of Istanbul, they will even send someone to pick you up too (transport cost included). I would recommend this activity and would book again in the future!
