    Il workshop è ben strutturato, soluzione perfetta per trascorrere un pomeriggio in maniera tranquilla, a contatto con le persone del posto. Ottimo il servizio di trasporto incluso così come gli snack, tè, acqua e caffè. Staff professionale e gentile. Dopo l’introduzione e la spiegazione abbiamo creato ognuno la propria lampada, una volta finita abbiamo aspettato 45 minuti prima che abbia finito di asciugarsi. È stato bellissimo portarla a casa come souvenir. Ps: nello stesso locale fanno anche altri tipi di workshop interessanti

    Perfume Making Workshop review

    We attended Perfume creating workshop. It was a fantastic experience. We were offered plenty of seducing scents to chose from and were guided perfectly to create our own fragrance. Yunus has a deep knowledge, he is fun and communicative person. It was also nice to be taken on the other side of Bosporus and feel the atmosphere of the traditional wooden house. Highly recommend!

    A instrutora Zainab foi muito amável, amamos a aula. Tudo perfeito! Somente reocmendariamos que a atividade tivesse limitação de idade, pois tinham crianças muito pequenas que atrapalharam o andamento da aula. Tirando isso estava 100%.

    Totally new knowledge to me, and I like my perfume. Excellent guide with excellent English and teaching skills. I did join from the Kadiköy side, the ad showed Eminonu side for meeting point. It should have been more clear that it actually was on Asian side.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    l'attività mi é piaciuta tantissimo, é stata un esperienza fantastica. ho solo una nota da fare, i pezzi per comporre la lampada sono pochi e talvolta non tagliati bene.. avrei preferito farla i blu e specchio, ma non c'erano abbastanza pezzi. Ad ogni modo ho scelto altri colori e portato la mia splendida lampada a casa

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    Amazing activity, learnt about the history of coffee which was very intriguing and we learnt the art of making different types of Turkish coffee. We then learnt the art of fortune telling and had our individual fortunes read. Overall its was a really great morning, the place was lovely with lots of character, the staff were very friendly and welcoming. We were given a beautiful gift at the end.

    Die Abholung am Treffpunkt auf der europäischen Seite hat super geklappt. Vor Ort haben die Guides super erklärt, unterstüzt und geholfen. Meine Eltern verstehen keinerlei Englisch und haben dennoch eine schöne Mosaik Lampe gestaltet. Uns hat der Kurs sehr gut gefallen. Wenn ich nochmal in Istanbul bin, werde ich den erneut buchen. Danke ans ganze Team. Wir haben jetzt 4 schöne Lampen.

    Chocolate Making Workshop review

    My family of 5 (three elementary-aged children, my husband and I) learned how to make chocolate and we just loved the experience! Borak and Fathi were kind and patient with our children making sure to incorporate them into the activity and allow them to be creative and have hand-on fun. On top of everything the chocolate was simply delicious — some of the best I’ve ever had. We appreciated being able to take a break from the waking and sight-seeing to learn and make great chocolate memories! Thank you Borak and Fathi :-)
