We had an amazing time making our lamps! The team was friendly, and we really appreciated the guide helping us navigate to the Asian side of Istanbul via the metro. The atmosphere during the workshop was cozy and warm, with tea and snacks provided. It's also a great opportunity to explore Üsküdar on your own afterward. We would highly recommend this experience!

Great course leader

Bintang and the team at Istanbul Workshops were so amazing and friendly. We really appreciated the guide arriving on the European side and getting us through to the Asian side of Istanbul for our workshop (this was an added bonus as we then felt confident using the metro system afterwards). The guide was so helpful and guided us so well as we made our creations. We weren’t sure what to expect, but we’ve walked away having really enjoyed the experience. So much so, that one member of our group - who chose not to attend - wants to go back (and to be honest, I think we’ll all go back and do it again). Would highly recommend!

Host - Mustafa was very nice, open and communicative

我覺得這個活動非常有趣，老師不僅很有耐心，工作人員都很好，可以帶回獨一無二的紀念品。等作品乾作品需要一些時間，所以我就去附近逛了一下。拿作品的時候，想說先喝杯咖啡再走，結果他們居然幫我免單，真的很感謝🥹 我覺得就算英文不太好也沒關係，因為步驟都很簡單，老師也會一步步講解，是很棒的體驗。 I found this activity really interesting. The instructor was very patient and kind, and it was great that we could take home such a unique souvenir. While waiting for my piece to dry, I took a stroll around the neighborhood. When I came back to pick it up, I planned to have a cup of coffee before leaving, but they surprised me by treating me to it for free! I think it’s perfectly fine even if you don’t speak much English, because the steps are simple, and the instructor explains everything step by step. It was truly a wonderful experience.

Es war traumhaft! Entspannend, abwechslungsreich und herzlich, vor allem die Mentorin. Dankeschön!

So much fun making our own Turkish mosaic lamps. Highly recommend you do this when visiting Istanbul.

The place itself was wonderful with awesome vibes. The instructor and all the staff in the cafe were friendly and welcoming. The workshop itself was fun and gave us a chance to chat with others and taste some delicious coffee.

Great guides and great class! So happy with our choice!

Er staat drank en hapjes. Dit is sterk overdreven. Je krijgt 1 keer water of Turkse koffie en heel kleine koekjes. Voor elk 1. Voor de rest heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam voor de workshop op zich. Een absolute aanrader! Er vlak naast kan je ook eten en dit hebben we niet gedaan. Niet echt vriendelijk.

Es war wirklich einzigartig. Wir waren zu viert dort und es war sehr schön das erleben zu können. Die Menschen waren sehr lieb und die Parfüms sind super geworden

Tolle Atmosphäre, jeder kann sein eigenes Design umsetzen, man hat kein Zeitdruck. Ist mal was ganz anderes und man hat ein tolles Souvenir.

Very worthwhile experience! Whilst it was a long trek to get there, all staff were very helpful and we have come away with a unique souvenir.

We loved the workshop and the result so much!

Very fun and entertaining and we got to make beautiful lamps

good

Nous avons passé un excellent moment avec Ali. Il nous a parfaitement expliqué comment créer notre parfum, nous a donné d’excellents conseils. Nous avons eu du thé, café, gâteau, eau fraîche … à volonté pendant toute l’activité. À la fin, nous sommes reparties avec notre bouteille de parfum. À faire sans hésiter !!

Thank you for teaching us and the certificate

A great experience this morning learning about the history of coffee in Istanbul, grinding our own coffee beans and learning all about the art of making coffee ☕️ A lovely atmosphere, a well informed host - would highly recommend as a great way to spend a morning as it was great value for money too!

We are brought to a workshop In the Asia side. Plenty of different colour pieces to choose from to create a pattern. And it turns out beautiful when light is on. Workshop is In a nice area with coffee shops to wait for the glue to dry.

Unser Guide war sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Es wurden keine Fragen offen gelassen und sie hat sich super um uns gekümmert, mit Ideen und ehrliche Einschätzungen was die Umsetzung angeht. Die Location sowie die dort arbeitende Personen waren sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Ein Besuch ist es definitiv wert. Vielen Dank an alle!

The turkish coffee making activity workshop was not only fun and entertaining but also informative. We learned a lot and the instructor was very approachable. We highly recommend it.

It was a great experience. I’d recommend it to anyone visiting :)

Had so much fun will learning about perfume making. we all got a chance to make our signiture perfume choosing what we liked under the guidance and expertise of Ali. highly recommend it
