    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Etkinliği koordine eden ekip gayet profesyoneldi. Herkes yardımcı oldu. Workshop’a katılan insanlar da çok canayakındı. Gayet keyifli bir ortam vardı.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Goede uitleg. Fijne sfeer. Maar die koffie en thee en koekjes zijn er bijna niet. Je moet erom vragen en dan nog een kopje op twee uur. Dat is jammer. De hele lamp die je mee krijgt is wel mooi en het is door de makkelijke uitleg goed te doen.

    Very educational experience. I went with my 12 y/o son who also really enjoyed the workshop. A bonus was that it’s in the Asian side of Istanbul so we got to see that at the same time.

    Heute hat sich die Abfahrt etwas verspätet, aber das kann man bei der verrückten Stadt auch mal verzeihen. Danach haben sie sich ins Zeug gelegt und den Kurs mit viele Liebe umgesetzt.

    I went with my mum and sister. It was such a great experience. The explanation was good and everyone was very kind. We were all sad that we didn’t know about this place sooner. Definitely something we’d like to do again and we’d recommend everyone!!

    Chocolate Making Workshop review

    We had a brilliant time! Our host stayed with us throughout the experience, translating all the information and instructions from the chocolatier. I have a nut allergy and they were able to make substitutions for everything so I didn't miss out. The people were all very friendly and we had lovely chocolates to take home at the end.

    Perfume Making Workshop review

    The perfume-making workshop was such a great experience! Moustafa, our instructor, was incredibly helpful and kind—he explained everything clearly and made the whole process fun and personal. The guides who picked us up from the meeting point were also wonderful—very friendly, talkative, and made the ride feel like part of the adventure. Everything from start to finish was smooth, welcoming, and memorable. Definitely an experience I’ll never forget!

    Burak bey hat uns in die Welt der Schokolade mit einem tollen Vortrag eingeführt. Er hat die Schritte der Pralinenherstellung vorgeführt und uns dabei geholfen, unsere eigenen Pralinen zu fertigen. Seine Kollegin hat in perfektem Englisch übersetzt. Çok teşekkür ediyorum!

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Das Workshop war grandios. Die selbst gestalteten Mosaiklampen zusammenzustellen, bearbeiten und fertigzustellen hat sehr viel Spaß gemacht, weil man sein stolzes Endprodukt im Nachhinein mit nach Hause nehmen konnte. Ich habe an diesem Kurs mit meinen drei Jugendlichen im Alter von 12-17 Jahren teilgenommen. Auch den Kindern hat es sehr viel Spaß und Freude bereitet. Der Workshopleiter war jederzeit sehr nett, höflich und hilfsbereit.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Nous avons passé un bon moment. nous avons été bien accueillies (petits gateaux et thés), les explications étaient claires, l’activité était très intéressante et demandait attention et patience. Il faut savoir que l'activité ne se passe pas dans le quartier mentionné:, le guide nous mène dans le Marmaray puis à travers Uchisar . Par contre, nous avons été déçues par le manque de choix des couleurs des mosaïques( une dizaine) qui ne permettait pas de créer une lampe totalement à notre goût. C’est vraiment dommage.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    communication was great. they picked us up on the European side and took us via subway (that they paid for) to the Asian side where the class is. the instructions were super clear and they helped us with every stage of making the lamp. the only thing I'd have liked more was if they had a few more colours, especially of the transparent glass. they only had a few so I had to change what I wanted to do.
