Perfume Making Workshop review

I went with my mother and we really enjoyed the experience! It was very interesting and interactive. The teacher was calm, kind, and very clear when explaining everything, which made it easy to follow and enjoy. There was a great variety of different oils to smell and choose from, and you get to create your own perfume and take it home with you, which is a lovely souvenir. Overall, it was a great experience. I definitely recommend it!

Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

Amazing experience learning about and making Turkish coffee! Had the pleasure of being taught by Kubra, who was super lovely and welcoming and had great energy throughout the whole workshop. I really enjoyed learning about the history and social culture surrounding Turkish coffee, and it was very cool to try out a new way of making coffee! Highly recommend Istanbul workshops as a place to get creative and learn about Turkish culture!

J’ai passé un moment fantastique lors de cette activité ! J’ai rencontré trois filles incroyablement gentilles qui ont transformé le reste de ma journée en une véritable aventure. C’est une façon unique et rafraîchissante de profiter de son séjour à Istanbul, et le meilleur dans tout ça, c’est que vous repartez avec un souvenir inoubliable. Je recommande vivement cette expérience !

Perfume Making Workshop review

It was so so so fun! I was a bit skeptical at first because it's not the type of activity Im used to do while travelling but I must say this was one of my highlights from my trip in Istanbul. The guide was really nice and helpful and you could really DIY and personalize your perfume. For the price it's really worth a good arts and crafts session and a new unique smell! Thank you :)

Perfume Making Workshop review

Zeynep und Ali haben das großartig gemacht und erklärt. Es hat super viel Spaß gemacht die verschiedenen Düfte zu kombinieren und sein eigenes Parfum zu kreieren. Zeynep war super hilfreich, als es darum ging welche Düfte man zusammen kombinieren könnte. Großes Lob an sie! Es war ein tolles Erlebnis! Gegen etwas Aufpreis durften wir uns ein zweites Fläschchen mitnehmen.

Perfume Making Workshop review

I would like to leave positive feedback about two wonderful team members named Zeynep. The first Zeynep helped and guided me during my perfume creation experience. She was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what she was teaching. Her love for perfumery truly showed, and it made the experience both enjoyable and memorable. The second Zeynep inspired me during my visit related to glass painting. She shared ideas and encouragement that left me excited and motivated for my next visit. Her creativity and positive energy were truly inspiring. Both of these ladies clearly love and enjoy what they do, and it reflects strongly in the way they interact with guests. They absolutely deserve recognition and premium appreciation for their dedication, passion, and excellent service. Thank you for having such amazing people on your team.

Istanbul:Original Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop w/ Snacks review

My husband and two older teen sons really enjoyed it and all made vastly different but creative personal versions of Turkish Mosaic Lamps. Everyone was thrilled with their finished product. The workshop people were so friendly and accommodating allowing us to leave our lamps with them while we explored the area and ate lunch. Lamps were bubble wrapped well by their staff upon our return several hours later and they arrived safely home tucked in my carry-on bag! Absolutely a great family experience and the lamps are a beautiful memento of our trip to Istanbul.

Perfume Making Workshop review

El taller estuvo bien, es interesante, pero mucha gente a la vez, no sabías qué aceites esenciales había ya que había 90 pero repartidos en dos mesas largas de 20 personas cada una. Solamente un bote de cada uno. Hubiera estado genial tener una lista con todo lo que había, y al final a la hora de hacerlo fue un poco locura. Experiencia buena pero mejoraría esas cosas.

Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

What a wonderful afternoon, delving into the aromatic world of Turkish coffee and the old tradition of fortune telling! Mehmet was the greatest teacher - he is knowledgeable on the matter, very polite and with excellent sense of humour. We are also grateful for the little gifts and most importantly, for the memories we made at the workshop.

Super consigliato se siete ad Istanbul. i ragazzi del workshop sono gentilissimi, a partire da Kadir che è venuto a prenderci dalla parte europea. L'esperienza è stata molto interessante, spiegata perfettamente. Solo da tenere presente che il workshop si trova nella parte asiatica, ma si arriva in meno di 15 min da Sirkeci, prendendo la metro Marmaray che viene pagata dalla guida. Veramente SUPER
