    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    This workshop was amazing. It was so well organized with people helping to guide us to the ferry and back. The instructor was very patient and helpful. All of the lanterns turned out great.

    Perfume Making Workshop review

    Totally new knowledge to me, and I like my perfume. Excellent guide with excellent English and teaching skills. I did join from the Kadiköy side, the ad showed Eminonu side for meeting point. It should have been more clear that it actually was on Asian side.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    l'attività mi é piaciuta tantissimo, é stata un esperienza fantastica. ho solo una nota da fare, i pezzi per comporre la lampada sono pochi e talvolta non tagliati bene.. avrei preferito farla i blu e specchio, ma non c'erano abbastanza pezzi. Ad ogni modo ho scelto altri colori e portato la mia splendida lampada a casa

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    Amazing activity, learnt about the history of coffee which was very intriguing and we learnt the art of making different types of Turkish coffee. We then learnt the art of fortune telling and had our individual fortunes read. Overall its was a really great morning, the place was lovely with lots of character, the staff were very friendly and welcoming. We were given a beautiful gift at the end.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Die Abholung am Treffpunkt auf der europäischen Seite hat super geklappt. Vor Ort haben die Guides super erklärt, unterstüzt und geholfen. Meine Eltern verstehen keinerlei Englisch und haben dennoch eine schöne Mosaik Lampe gestaltet. Uns hat der Kurs sehr gut gefallen. Wenn ich nochmal in Istanbul bin, werde ich den erneut buchen. Danke ans ganze Team. Wir haben jetzt 4 schöne Lampen.

    Amazing experience! The mosaic lamp workshop was fun and relaxing, with unlimited cookies and tea. The team was very kind and helpful, and taking home the lamp I made myself was the perfect souvenir from Istanbul.

    Chocolate Making Workshop review

    My family of 5 (three elementary-aged children, my husband and I) learned how to make chocolate and we just loved the experience! Borak and Fathi were kind and patient with our children making sure to incorporate them into the activity and allow them to be creative and have hand-on fun. On top of everything the chocolate was simply delicious — some of the best I’ve ever had. We appreciated being able to take a break from the waking and sight-seeing to learn and make great chocolate memories! Thank you Borak and Fathi :-)

    trop trop trop long ...2h alors que l activité en elle même dure 15 a 20min. la personne pourrait donner moins d explications et les donner en même temps que l activité pour réduire au moins d une heure la prestation. sinon activité intéressante, agréable de faire et boire son propre café turc.

    One of the best activities you will find around. The organizers were experienced and knowledgeable and put together an experience enjoyed by every single participant. The location really good, the offer of constant coffee/tea/water generous, the staff professional. Huge congrats to our trainer, Mustafa, who was able to handle a large group of people, answered all our questions without fail, was clear, communicative, funny and personable. He helped us create our own perfume out of 70 different scents; it is as enjoyable and delightful as it sounds! I would highly recommend it!
