REVIEWS
Hear from our guests about their experiences in Istanbul Workshops. Personalized, engaging, and memorable.
It was an amazing experience and the team was so well organised. They gave really good information for the experience and they made sure that you understand everything. Very friendly, very engaging and helpful. It was really worth it, would definitely book again !!
Recommend this experience for anyone interested in perfumery.
It was a great experience attending this workshop. Kübra, who gave the Turkish coffee demonstration, was extremely knowledgeable, spoke excellent English, and was very helpful and informative. The workshop was not only about Turkish coffee; she also shared fascinating insights into Ottoman life, culture, history, and the geography of Türkiye. The entire experience was enjoyable, engaging, and educational. I highly recommend this workshop—you will not regret it. As an added bonus, the workshop takes place in Üsküdar, which is a wonderful area to explore, with plenty of great cafés, desserts, and local food options. Come and see it for yourself!Absolutely amazing, I’d recommend doing this to anyone who’s visiting Istanbul, the activity was so enjoyable and the instructors were wonderful, it’s also a 7 minute walk from the grand bazaar so you can do both in one dayit was so worth the experience! the staff was super nice and fun and helpful! the fact that we can bring home traditional lamps made by us is so special!It was wonderful. Mesmerising. Solemn but uplifting. The introduction was difficult hear - a combo of poor sound quality, rapid speech and a thick accent. Don’t know if this can be improved. But the dancing (spinning) was spectacular. Find your way here for a novel, non-commercial travel experience.The greatest experienceLeather Crafting Workshop

Definitely a MUST GO! Very nice experience in Istanbul, Nihal was so kind and so patient, gave a brief intro into Mosaic lamps and then was very good at explaining how to build it step by step, would recommend to anyone. Location is very convenient as well.War mein zweites mal, immer gern, danke an Bera für die Tolle Begleitung - SinanSuper experience! Time passed so quickly! One of the most favourite things I did in Istanbul!we absolutely loved it, so interesting and educational, I would recommend this to any coffee lover. my only note, we would have appreciated some help getting back to the meeting point afterwards or maybe even just a forewarning that we would be getting a guide to the workshop but would have to make our own way back to the European side, in the end it wasn't too difficult but as I mentioned; a little forewarning would have been appreciated 😊 other than that an absolutely lovely experience and such great value, I want to do all their workshops now!The workshop was very relaxing and enjoyable. The instructor was really helpful and made the activity entertaining. I would recommend the workshop.10 de 10. Súper recomendable. Taller muy bien pensado y organizsdoOur workshop leader was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. He took time to connect with each of us and made our group feel special. 10/10
Activité très interessante. La personne qui anime l’activité explique bien, est patiente, sympathique et souriante. J’ai passé un excellent moment. Je regrette presque de ne pas rester plus longtemps à Istanbul pour le refaire. Le petit porte-carte est très sympa.Mustapha is super professional, friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. I'm so happy with this experience and I love my perfume!I really enjoyed the activity, and the workshop instructors were incredibly kind and welcoming. just like everyone I’ve met in Istanbul. 💜”Turkish Simit & Breakfast Cooking Class with a Chef

attività molto bella, le ragazze davvero brave e disponibili, ti porti a casa la lampada come souvenirŚwietne watsztaty, super spędzony czas..Podobalo nam się dosłownie wszystko: miejsce, warsztaty, przygotowanie. atmosfera i mila prowadząca. Przygotowanie lsmp noe wymaga specjalnych umieǰetności. zdecydowanie warto umilić sobie zwiedzanie miasta taką atrakcją. polecam w 100%.We had a lot of fun as a group! Zai was super knowledgeable and engaging in helping us create our unique mixes.
I found the workshop very interesting and well guided. I can recommend it to anyone who wants to experience something special. Thank you very much for this experience 🙏
The activity was fantastic! We got a cute souvenir to take home with us and were able to get creative. It was much better than buying one. Our guide was great. I just wish she had shown us a video of the history of the mosaic lamps.Such a unique activity- would recommend to anyone visiting Istanbul. You are able to design the lamps in any style of your choosing and keep your creation after.The show was great. But the organizers should not allow to participate with small babies. There were 3 babies in the show and it was very difficult to focus on the show, as they were crying etc. for most time.Etkinlik cok eglenceli ve egitiyciydi. Yaptigimiz el emegimiz guzel bir Istanbul anisi olarak kalacak!I booked this lamp decoration, myself and my 17 year old twins. We all enjoyed it. I recommend everybody to do this, as the best homemade souvenir or gift to bring home. " I am keeping mine for myself." It was peaceful and the guide, a young lovely woman, was really pleasant. I recommend, and actually want to go one more time.Super activité effectuée en famille. Je recommande vivement.Woodworking Workshop for Kids (4–6) & Parents

Awab was great it we had a wonderful time
Der Veranstaltungsort ist recht abgelegen, am besten mit Uber zu erreichen. Der Saal ist hübsch, es gibt nicht viele Plätze, sodass man sehr nah am geschehen ist. Zunächst erfolgte eine Erklärung der Zeremonie auf Englisch und Türkisch, dann die eigentliche Zeremonie. Diese war für Touristen ohne spirituellen Hintergrund nur mäßig interessant: die Derwische laufen langsam umher, verbeugen sich mehrfach und drehen sich zur Musik im Kreis - mehr passiert nicht. Kann man sich anschauen, ist aber kein Muss.Superb experience. Would recommend this to anyone visiting Istanbul!Got a question? We're here to answer!
