Perfume Making Workshop review

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!

Yo no conocía nada relacionado al café, Fue una experiencia increíble, Nos dieron una plática de la historia del café desde sus inicios hasta el día de hoy. Después preparamos nuestro propio café y me encantó, Gracias a Kübra, una chica muy linda, tiene mucha pasión, hace que el curso sea muy ameno además generar que quieras saber más

A really fun experience, I joined because my partner was super excited about the workshop but had a tremendous time myself. The location is great and Mehmet was a fantastic teacher and host. Highly recommend, a great reason to visit this area and you take away a beautiful lamp that you’re quite proud of.

Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

Türk kahvesinin kısa tarihçesini dinledikten sonra, kendi kahvemizi taze taze öğüttük ve Türk kahvesi yapımının tüm inceliklerini öğrendik. Ayrıca kahvenin nasıl içilmesi gerektiğini de deneyimledik. Rehberimiz Kübra Hanım’ın da dediği gibi: “Türk kahvesi sabretmeyi öğretir.” 😊 Atölyeden çok memnun kaldım. Kübra Hanım’a ve İstanbul Workshop’a teşekkür ederim.

It was great. The only issue was that they were not prepared with the base of the lamp at the end of the class. I think it should have been prepared beforehand to make sure that all of them are working.
