I had a great time! Zeynep, our parfume specialist is amazing! She was so cheerfully helping us matching fragrances and was fun being around her. The workshop place has a great atmosphere, it’s vibrant and there is great music. They also treated us with endless tea, water and coffee. What a wonderful memory of Istanbul!It was so much fun! Clear instructions and a beautiful final product. Definitely recommend if you come visit Istanbul <3It was so much fun! Zayem is an expert when it comes to making the perfect combination of smells. It’s an activity I 100% recommend when in Istanbul!Good vibes, I went by myself and it was cool experienceIt was engaging and worth it!The best decision we made doing this workshop, the people who organised the workshop are so friendly and really helpful. The value for money with what you do is absolutely amazing! And there was a cute cat who wanted to be part of our workshop too🤣🤣🤣. I think it’s one of the best ways to get a taste of the Turkish culture! They even surprised me with a birthday muffin and sang happy birthday, made it even more special 🥰 Would recommend this to everyone! Thank you ALL for such an amazing experience ❤️what a wonderful experience with guides that were so helpful and kind, lots of laughter and learning, my favourite kind of activity!Ebru Tote Bag Art Workshop

It was brilliant, very relaxing activity, my daughter loved it so much and can’t wait to go back for more workshops! Our guide Aicha was so lovely & helpful and Zeynab helped us at the start as well was very nice Such a cozy and lively location, unlimited tea, great w a unique souvenir to take home It is i important to note that this workshop is on the Asian side (Uskudar)Very cool activity to do while in Cappadocia.. it’s awesome to learn how to make the Turkish coffee I love so much and will definitely try to make this when I get back home :))I attended a perfume workshop hosted by Zaynap, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. She genuinely cared for each and every participant, spending quality time with everyone to help refine the scents we wanted, from spicy to fruity or anything in between. Zaynap guided us through the process of creating balanced base, middle, and top notes, ensuring each fragrance was truly personal. She also gave a detailed and insightful explanation of the three fragrance layers, making the workshop both educational and enjoyable. It was one of the best experiences I’ve had in Istanbul. Keep up the amazing work, Zaynap.. I’ll definitely be recommending this workshop to friends and family!Wonderful coffee experience. Tener was our guide and you could tell how passionate he was about coffee. I throughly enjoyed making turkish coffee here!Atelier vraiment génial ! Nous avons passé un super moment à créer nos lampes en mosaïque turque. L’ambiance était conviviale et agréable, avec des boissons et une petite collation pour rendre l’expérience encore plus plaisante. Nous sommes reparties avec de magnifiques lampes et nous étions ravies du résultat. Une activité à faire absolument !Esperienza suuuper consigliata. La guisa gentilissima ci ha spiegato i vari passaggi da effettuare, e ci siamo divertiti tantissimo. Da un semplice vetro ne è uscita fuori una lampada bellissima. La consiglio veramente tantissimoHat wirklich Spaß gemacht. Alles wurde genaustens erklärt. Alles wie beschrieben. Einziges Manko: Vom Treffpunkt muss man noch eine knappe halbe Stunde bis zur Location fahren, das war mir im Vorhinein nicht bewusst.It was truly an amazing experience! From start to end. Literally everything was so much fun and very well organized. We definitely will be back !great that it included getting to the location and back. the workshop was very fun and a great souvenir to take home! incredible value for money. our guide and all the workers were very knowledgeable and helpful.È stato veramente bellissimo!Turkish Illumination Art Workshop

The lamp decoration process is a relaxing and concentration process. The outputs of all participants look amazing.Amazing workshop! Gonna do it again! Recommended!Hoca çok ilgiliydi ve çok keyifli bir etkinlikti falat vanilya, tütsü, deri, kashmeran, ambroxan gibi yaygın esansların olmaması bir puan düşürdü bende maalesefActivité incontournable. Accessible à tous, bon accueil et amabilité de tout le personnel. À refaire.We had a blast! I will always treasure having this memory of doing something beautiful and nice with my mom. Time flies when you enjoy what you're doing and this was exactly how we felt for those ~3 hours. The creative side of it made us feel like children. Who does like that feeling? 🫶 I can't wait for our next visit and looking forward to enjoying other workshops, the coffee making one, the perfume one and who knows what else. Ali and the team were great hosts and we felt like home, enjoying not only the experience of crafting, but also enjoying the drinks and nibbles they offered throughout our time there. Give this team and their creativity a chance, they will not dissapoint, no matter the activity that you choose!The course was in a nice café on the asian side of Istanbul, for a short walk from the metro, in a really nice neighborhood. Other workshops were running simulteanously (lamp, coffee), that made the first impression that they are professionals. Which they really were, our guide, Mohammed was wery professional, helpful, explained everyting.This was a fantastic workshop that my wife wanted us both to do, and I'm so glad that we did! we were met by our guide who took us across to the workshop and we were left in the capable hands of our leader for the workshop. she was extremely knowledgeable and patient with our group and explained everything brilliantly and simply, step by step which ensured that we had a great time, learned about how to make a traditional Turkish lamp, and best of all we got to take our creations home with us! We can't recommend this experience enough and recommend everyone tries it! thank you so much to everyone at the Istanbul Turkish mosaic lamp workshop for making it a great experience for us.Különleges, emlékezetes, jól szervezett program! Egy hangulatos kávézóban fogadtak minket, ahol Zeynep a workshop vezetője kedvesen, és segítőkészen vezetett minket végig. A programon belül teát, kávét és vizet is kaptunk ami még kellemesebbé tetté. Köszönjük ezt a csodálatos élményt!Esperienza molto carina. Il laboratorio è fantastico e molto accogliente. E il personale è molto gentile!Da provare per immergersi nella storia di questa bellissima città. Spiegazione chiara di tutto il processo.Traditional Turkish Calligraphy Workshop

Mustafa hat uns den Prozess super erklärt und es hat richtig Spaß gemacht, unser eigenes Parfüm zu erstellen. Seine Kolleginnen waren auch super lieb und haben uns komplett unterstützt. Außerdem wurden wir mit Cay und Keksen versorgt. Es war wirklich eine 10/10 :)The perfume-making workshop was an amazing experience! We sat together as a group at a long table with the different fragrance oils laid out in front of us. After a brief explanation about the composition of perfume, we were able to dive right in, smell all the oils, and choose our favorites. Because the oils were spread out across the table, it was easy to start conversations and get to know each other. Throughout the workshop, there was plenty of tea, coffee, water, and snacks available. Overall, I found the atmosphere very warm and welcoming, and I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone interested in fragrances or who enjoys crafty experiences!Great experience. The instructor was helpful in guiding us with our pieces. I just wish there were more colour options for the glass pieces.Got a question? We're here to answer!
