Istanbul:Original Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop w/ Snacks review

We had the best time and made beautiful lamps. The gals at the workshop were SO kind to us and got us up to speed despite being 30 mins late from a very bad taxi experience. Just plan ahead and take the ferry if coming from the European side of the river!! Cute kitten to pet and lovely tea during the experience too. I wish we had more time to do their other workshops.

Great activity to learn more about Turkish coffee culture. Good price for what you get. The teacher had such a great vibe. I wish I’d had more time in town to explore their other workshops.

Perfume Making Workshop review

We met with one of the organizes who took us to this Coffee Shop, there we met the guide and the expert perfume maker. The activity was pretty long, the guide presented us with the theory, then we had many options, so we took our time. Also being able to chit-chat with other members made it more fun. In the end, the scents were mixed and the guide made it into a usable form. We need to keep it in the fridge for 3 days though. All in all, fun activity. You should check it out!

Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

We met with a person organizing the event, who took us to the Coffee shop. There we met our guide, who is an expert in Turkish Coffee brewing and Fortune telling (not for real though). Great activity to have some fun and learn something new about the history of coffee and Turkey. I highly recommend it. Also, you receive a diploma!

Es war ein sehr schönes Erlebnis die Mosaiklampen selbst zu gestalten. Die Stimmung in der Werkstatt war sehr angenehm und schön. Unser Workshop Leiterin hat uns die Schritte sehr gut erklärt so das unsere 8-jährige Tochter es ebenfalls gut umsetzen konnte. Es ist absolut zu empfehlen!

Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

La actividad estuvo muy bien la chica muy enterada de la historia y el proceso del café, muy amable. No me gustó solo que la actividad dice que incluye lectura de la taza para adivinar tu futuro y en verdad cuando te tomas el café te dan una tarjeta con figuritas para que tú misma revises si ves alguna, en realidad arruinan la magia de la experiencia porque no se toman el tiempo ni de mirarte la taza

Perfume Making Workshop review

Today I had an amazing experience with perfume making, me and my 11 years old daughter. The most amazing part was the good and cute presentation from Zeinab & Zeinab the instructors 😍. Two beautiful ladies clearly showing us and assisting to know the direction and preferences for each person. The group was a multicultural group with lovely spirit. Recommending to groups and families from different ages, enjoying a fun time. Thanks ☺️

Perfume Making Workshop review

Une des activités que j'ai préférées à Istanbul ! Quartier et lieu très sympa, atelier super cool avec un très bon animateur et un très bon rapport qualité/prix. Le seul petit reproche pourrait être que nous étions un peu trop nombreux ce jour-là, ce n'était pas toujours évident d’entendre les explications, mais on nous avait dit que c'était assez exceptionnel.

Leider haben wir zuerst den Treffpunkt nicht gefunden und dann war der Guide schon weg. In der Beschreibung stand nicht, dass der Workshop auf der asiatischen Seite stattfindet. Das ist ein Minuspunkt. Der Workshop selber hat viel Spaß gemacht.

Kubra was Great! She was awesome at guiding the class and explaining the process, the history of Turkish coffee and culture. This is definitely a great way to learn about Turkish coffee and how to make it the proper way which honors traditions. We would definitely recommend this course for a fun experience!

Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

The experience of making turkish coffee such a good time! Kubra, our coffee making teacher was super fun and we had such a joyful time! She also so good as fortune teller, she was able to read all kinds of shapes in the coffee cup. We also tasted some special pistachio coffee, had sweets and received a kit for making turkish coffee at home. Water, tea and more coffee were available for us if desired. I think the experience is way more worthy of the price they ask for. The place where the workshop takes place is such a cool spot, very vibrant and every person working there is so welcoming and fun! Also the guy that picked us up (I think his name is Ali) has been a great host. People are so helpful and available for every question you have. It was a wonderful experience!
