Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

I thoroughly enjoyed this course! The teacher was excellent—very welcoming and pleasant, which made the experience even better. The process was easy to follow, and I walked away feeling much more knowledgeable. I’m confident I can now try making Turkish coffee on my own. Highly recommend this course to anyone interested in learning.

Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

Super happy with the free Turkish coffee maker and teacup set! The coffee itself was also very high-quality and good. It was very cool to learn about the history of Turkish coffee and learn how to make it.

I absolutely loved the workshop! It was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had! I liked the area, the workshop’s guide and the atmosphere. I wish I had more hours to make more lamps… I guess I found a new hobby for myself! Thanks a lot! :)

Je recommande vivement cette activité. Celle-ci se trouve sur l’autre rive, la rive asiatique vers Üsküdar. Le personnel est adorable, l’endroit est sympa, idéal pour y passer un agréable après midi. Le personnel qui nous a reçues était à l’écoute et très patient. Nous avons pu récupérer nos lampes une heure après la fin de l’activité et repartir avec un magnifique souvenir. Nous reviendrons pour sûr !

Kadir our guide was very prompt and communicated timely. He was there on time and is very pleasant and explained how we will go to the workshop, Zeinep was also very charming and very helpful! She is so easy to talk to and provided tips on how to make perfume. She also gave us words to guide us in Istanbul and even gave us food to eat while here.

Perfume Making Workshop review

Der Parfum Workshop hat unglaublich viel Spaß gemacht und war lehrreich. Zeynap war nett, zuvorkommend und immer zur Stelle. Für 500 Lira (10€) kann man sich während des Workshops eine zweite Flasche Parfum mischen. Ideal als Geschenk oder mit einem zweiten Duft. Kann diesen Workshop zu 100% empfehlen. okay die Kekse sind nicht die besten, aber das war und ist nie das Hauptkriterium für diesen Workshop. 5 von 5 Sternen. komme beim nächsten Istanbul Urlaub definitiv wieder!
