Istanbul:Original Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop w/ Snacks review

Wonderful experience! A guide picked us up on the European side, took us through the metro (at no charge) to the art studio, and a wonderful instructor taught us how to make our lamps. We got small cookies and tea while we created and then after our globes dried, the instructor packed them up for us with a lamp base, lightbulb and USA compatible plug. This was an experience that was over the top and far exceeded my expectation!

Istanbul:Original Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop w/ Snacks review

This was great! We got a guide to meet us on the European side and show us to the actual workshop on the Asian side. We went through the metro and prices were included in the ticket so it was convenient and quick. The actual workshop was very fun and interesting. Our lead and helpers were very helpful and kind. We were a group of 7 and all of us had a lot of therapeutic fun. It was worth making it instead of buying a lamp, it was more special that way.

Istanbul:Original Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop w/ Snacks review

It’s a wonderful experience to do with family or as a couple. I personally took part with my brother and sister, and it was truly a beautiful experience to share together. The workshop was very well organized, and the instructions provided by our guide were very clear. She supported us throughout the entire workshop and made sure everyone felt comfortable and confident while creating their lamp. At the end of the workshop, we were able to keep the lamp we decorated, which makes a beautiful souvenir to remember this workshop and this unforgettable trip

We were guided to the venue on the Asian side of Istanbul, however, no guidance back to European side. I thought that was strange. What if we didn’t have a subway pass? It wasn’t even talked about.

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.

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 !
