    Perfume Making Workshop review

    Foi um experiência incrível conhecer o processo de produção do perfume, como as notas funcionam quando são combinadas e conhecer também as diversas fragrâncias, das mais doces até as mais cítricas. O nosso guia Kadir foi muito atencioso e cuidadoso no transfer de metrô. Atração Imperdível!

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    Pan który opowiadał o kawie robił to z dużą pasją i zaangażowaniem. Nie da się przyczepić do jakości warsztatów, wszystko uważam za naprawdę bardzo ciekawe doświadczenie. Jednak w opisie mojej rezerwacji JASNO było napisane, że moja rezerwacja obejmuje zestaw upominkowy. Poczułem się potraktowany niesprawiedliwie kiedy pan na swoim telefonie pokazał mi że istnieją trzy pakiety i ja wybrałem ten najtańszy. I on nie obejmuje zestawu upominkowego. Nigdzie nie było podanej informacji, że dopiero przy wyborze tej droższej opcji osoba dostaje zestaw upominkowy. Chętny była taka informacja zdecydowałbym się na ten zestawy droższy.

    Turkish Illumination Art Workshop review

    Zeynap was a super wonderful host who is a talented artist and illustrator and spoke perfect English! I was the sole person on this event and it was a wonderful afternoon to spend learning a new skill. The venue is lovely and the staff are equally great. It was spent absorbing the wonderful stories and exchanging the different cultures. I ended up with a lovely hand made souvenir, a new skill of painting learned and hopefully a new friend! Highly recommended especially on a wet gloomy day in Istanbul!

    This was a really nice surprise and I would recommend it to all, couples, families, groups and singles. This activity would give you a chance to experience something out of the ordinary tourist attractions and visits. In the warm, welcoming and relaxing atmosphere you would take a break and dive in into your creativity. Out whole family loved it and we are bringing our work home to remember this great experience. Thank you.

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    Yesterday, we had a wonderful time with Kubra. My boyfriend booked this as a gift for me and his mother, and it was truly a fantastic experience. A special thank you to our teacher, Kubra, who explained everything with such patience, calm, and joy. It was a great opportunity to learn more about Turkish culture. As Italians, 'doing everything slowly and calmly' can be quite a challenge for us! This lesson taught us the true importance of patience. We will keep this memory in our hearts forever. ❤️ by Valentina, Tommaso and Lara

    Our guide gave us a very educational and interesting history of coffee making in Turkey. She was very hospitable and we were offered tea, coffee and water upon arrival. We enjoyed ourselves and they even provided us with a little gift bag which was a wonderful surprise. I highly recommend this activity.

    Istanbul:Original Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop w/ Snacks review

    Super expérience pour créer sa propre lampe à Istanbul. Tout était clair et conforme à la description. Une personne est venue me chercher à la sortie du métro côté européen pour m’accompagner jusqu’à l’atelier côté asiatique (ticket pris en charge), et elle m’a aussi raccompagnée pour le retour. L’activité est ludique et inspirante. L’animateur est très à l’écoute et explique très bien, il parle aussi français mais les explications en anglais sont faciles à suivre. L’équipe est sympathique, le lieu agréable et propre. Le thé et les petites douceurs incluses sont un vrai plus. Petit bémol : le sac fourni était trop petit pour mon pied de lampe. Mais sinon super expérience que je recommande 😁

    Cet atelier est une escale obligatoire lors de votre séjour à Istanbul. L’instructrice a été adorable, très claire et super disponible. Ils mettent à disposition un large choix de couleurs et de modèles à suivre, mais vous pouvez également laisser libre cours à votre imagination. La multitude d’ateliers disponibles dans ce café donne envie d’y revenir passer un moment créatif hors du temps. Les boissons sont délicieuses et à volonté. J’ai déjà hâte de revenir.
