Hear from our guests about their experiences in Istanbul Workshops. Personalized, engaging, and memorable.
Amazing experience! This lamp-making workshop was so much fun and a real highlight of my time in Istanbul. The instructor was welcoming and patient, and the whole process was both relaxing and creative. I loved learning about Turkish craftsmanship and left with a beautiful handmade lamp. Highly recommended!Расстроило, что место встречи указано одно, а после покупки приходит сообщение, что это место встречи с проводником, который ещё должен будет отвезти нас организовано на азиатскую сторону, и соответсвенно, это ещё плюс 30 минут туда и 30 минут обратно. Обратно, кстати, самим приходится как-то добираться.It was amazing great guide easy learn and good locationIt was a cozy, surprisingly fun break from typical sightseeing. The instructor, Ilham, guided us step by step as we chose our colors and tried the basic tufting techniques. It was fun to laugh over our first crooked rows, and by the end we had small pieces that actually felt like real souvenirs we had made together. Overall, it was calm, intimate, and creative and one of those activities that makes you feel more connected to each other and to the local culture at the same time. If we are ever back in Istanbul, we will be sure to come back and try our luck with some more intricate designs.Es war super!loved this so glad I booked this activity it was the highlight of my tripTraditional Stained Glass Painting Workshop

Super Super Super !!! Sehr empfehlenswert 😊A lot of good history about coffee and TurkeyThis was a wonderful annd unique experience with my husband and our 11 year old. Now that we’re home, we are thoroughly enjoying our lamps. I highly recommend this!The location posted is not true. The workshop actually takes place near the üsküdar ferry port. Other than that I can't recommend this activity high enough. The workshop was super engaging and the guid was very friendly and knowledgeable.Eşim ve kızımla gittik parfüm atölyesine, tek kelime ile şahane!!! Çalışanların hepsi müthiş ilgili, samimi ve sıcak!!! gününüze güzellik katabileceğiz paranızın karşılığını fazlasıyla veren çok güzel bir deneyimdiMoment incroyable je recommande chaleureusementI couldn't believe how packed our class was in the middle of January on a Sunday! Very popular workshop, for a reason. We spent a little time learning about how perfumes are structured, and then we explored the dozens of vials of pure scent oils looking for combinations, and we each came up with the recipe that suited us. My favorite part was the mixing and final packaging, in a beautiful glass atomizer.Moyen car trop de monde et ils nous expliquent pas assez quels mélanges ont peu associé. Ça aurait été mieux si ils font des séances de 10 personnes et car on était je crois 30 personnes environ c’est trop je trouve pour une confection de parfumWe had a great time at the workshop! The staff was very friendly and helpful. We were very happy with the final result. 100% recommended!A fun, well organized activity. The lamps are so pretty. I would do it again.Everything was well arranged for foreign visitors like us, from metro pickup to coffee history presentation, especially the Turkish coffee brewing in the end ! What a wonder ! What we have experienced was not only the history in a dose but taking a bite of slow coffee life in Turkish culture. We enjoyed a great time with a crew of thoughtful people who knew how to satisfy their clients. Thank you for everything and any efforts made in this activity. We do appreciate our guide for her knowledge and kindness. We highly recommend it. :)Great experience! Our tutor I dare to say, since she taught us so much, was amazing! I highly recommend this experienceWonderful experience, recommend it to every coffee lover :)Everything is well arranged for foreign visitors like us, from metro pickup to coffee history telling, especially in Turkish coffee brewing in the end. What we have experienced is not only the coffee fabrication but taking a bite of coffee life in Turkish culture. Everything is fantastic with a crew of thoughtful people who are making efforts to satisfy their clients. We truly have enjoyed a great time with our guide. Thank you for everything and your kindness ! Loving you all. We highly recommend it. :)Dear team! I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to provide some feedback regarding my recent experience during the workshop. While I appreciated the diverse flavors and unique ingredients showcased, I felt that the overall experience could have been enhanced with a more welcoming atmosphere. Unfortunately, the guide's communication style did not meet our expectations. While I understand that language barriers can be challenging, it would have been beneficial for the workshop to include more English communication, especially since some members of our group were able to converse in English. I also want to express my gratitude for the thoughtful gesture from Mustafa’s colleague, who offered us cake and a complimentary workshop. However, I felt it was important to decline this offer, as I did not want to take it for granted. I hope this feedback is helpful for Mustafa and serves as constructive note.Excellent instructor! Very informative and perfect souvenirs. Absolutely recommend this we learned so much and enjoyed everythingI’ve Had a great time!
