    Istanbul:Original Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop w/ Snacks review

    The instructors were friendly and explained everything very clearly. The atmosphere was cozy, and you go home with something beautiful that you made yourself. A real must-do if you’re in Istanbul and looking for something different from the usual tourist activities. Highly recommended!

    Istanbul:Original Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop w/ Snacks review

    We loved the setting / room setup and the staff who were helping us during the activity and we liked that we made something Turkish and realized how difficult it is to make mosaic lamps and we the were appreciating them more in the shops where they are being sold. We enjoyed the hot drinks and cookies served.

    Perfume Making Workshop review

    My friends and I had a great time at the workshop. We had a huge traffic jam on the way and were running really late, but the organisation was great to let us catch up, when they really didn't have to. Our guide was knowledgeable and excellent at making everyone feel empowered in their own decisions about their scents. He explained everything in the process well and asked the right questions to help us decide what we were after. All in all, I'd recommend this workshop to anyone who's even interested in perfumes and would like an interesting activity in Istanbul.

    This class was one of the highlights of our trip to Istanbul! Not only was the staff super friendly, but they made the class simple and fun for people with all levels of artistic ability. The studio is really cool and we were provided Turkish tea, coffee, and little snacks. Overall, a wonderful experience and I hope to someday come back.
