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!

Moment de découverte très agréable, bonne ambiance, guide très sympa. Le nombre de personnes dans le groupe pourrait être un peu moins élevé (cette séance 16 personnes). Agréablement surpris du résultat. Nous repartons avec un joli souvenir !!!

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.
