Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

I absolutely love all activities organized by the Fabrika workshop community center. It was my second one and I highly recommend to choose them! They are high professionals, knowledgeable and very attentive. You'll enjoy not only a workshop itself but the whole atmosphere created by the interior, decorations, people serving tea and coffee, by everything! I love coffee and know quite enough information about it. But doing practical things with Faruq I learned some new important details.

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

Es war sehr schön sich an einem regnerischen Tag mit diesem kreativem Workshop zu beschäftigen. Super Service! Kadir hat uns kontaktiert und vom Treffpunkt in Fatih bis zum Standort in Üsküdar begleitet. Bintan und Ihsan waren während des Workshops für uns da. Bintan hat alles klasse erklärt. Auch die Stimmung war 1A! Klare Empfehlung!

Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

Inmejorable experiencia. Nos ha encantado!!!! Hemos hecho el taller con Kubra y la verdad es que lo ha hecho súper bien, es muy atenta y se nos ha pasado el tiempo volando. Hablaba inglés perfectamente. Nos han dejado degustar delicias turcas, otro tipo de café, té... y luego nos han regalado un set para tomar café en casa. Calidad-precio inmejorable. Vale muchísimo la pena. Tienen otros talleres en el mismo sitio (lámparas, perfumes...), aunque como era nuestro último día no pudimos probar otro. RECOMENDADÍSIMO.

Perfume Making Workshop review

We had so much fun in this class. It was very well organized with many options for scents. Our instructor was very good at getting a sense of what we liked and helping to shape our final perfume to be exactly what we wanted. The final product was packaged beautifully and I cannot wait to use it!

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

One thing to be aware of. This tour shows a starting point in Faith on the European side of Istanbul but the workshop is actually located on the Asian side and the pickup location is on the European side. The cost of the ferry or tram to the Asian side is included in your ticket to get there and if you time it right you can walk back with your guides but the return route is not part of your activity. We ended up getting a taxi back because we couldn’t wait 30 minutes after getting the lamp to wait for the guides to walk with us back. Also be aware that this activity does not include drying time of 1 hour. I would recommend you planning on 4 hours plus travel time and having a meal at a nearby restaurant while you wait for your lamp to dry. The workshop itself was very fun and the guides were very nice and if you are okay with the above comments on location and actual activity time then I would recommend it.

Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

Der Workshop war super. Da dieser auf türkisch stattfand, waren wir nur zu zweit :) Die Geschichte über den türkischen Mokka fand ich superspannend, aber auch die Tipps und Tricks bei der Zubereitung waren top. Großes Lob und nochmal ein dickes Dankeschön an Taner und Kübra, die den Workshop zu etwas Besonderem gemacht haben. Lohnt sich, allein schon auch wegen der Location.
