    Perfume Making Workshop review

    It was an interesting couple of hours. I was disappointed we used synthetic essences. A cup of tea and biscuits that were dry and 5mm square dont really count as drinks and snacks. I was never offered water on a hot afternoon. I also suggest if you are going to lead us there that you return us to our starting point.

    Perfume Making Workshop review

    Making my own perfume was really fun, the instructor was very friendly and knowledgeable on the subject. If you want a unique experience, memorable time and a great souvenir I couldn't recommend this workshop enough! 10/10 I'd do it again.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    This was one of the cheapest but most enjoyable experiences I had in Istanbul. The guide met us on the European side to help us reach the destination on the Asian side, paying the fare to get there as well. Then they spent time explaining the activity and gave us time and so many different colours to design our lamps which we then got to take home! Also enjoying complimentary Turkish nibbles and tea! I love looking at my lamp in my home. So worth it!

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    We were met at the prearranged meeting point by our guides who navigated us through the metro system to arrive at the workshop here we were met with tea coffee and cookies and introduced to Beyzanur who guided us through the activity and gave us an insight into mosaic making and its history. The activity was fun, well organised and run by very friendly people!

    Impressive show with the projections and animations. I would have liked some more explanation and history about each story and the things/ people/ buildings rather than just telling the story like a fable.

    Legends of Istanbul: Live Show review

    Whether you’re a first-time visitor or born and raised in Istanbul, Legends of Istanbul hits differently.<br>It’s not just an immersive musical—it’s a multi-sensory time machine, blending storytelling, art, and atmosphere into something unforgettable. Every tale is told through a unique narrator’s lens, pulling you into Istanbul’s layered soul with a fresh perspective.<br><br>I’d recommend it to anyone who wants to feel the pulse of the city—not just see it. Right in the heart of Istanbul, you’re surrounded by magic, myth, and memory.<br>And when the show ends and the doors swing open, you're face-to-face with Hagia Sophia. History isn’t behind glass—it’s right there, alive and breathing.<br>And that moment when you realise you’ve been watching it all just above the Basilica Cistern?<br>Pure chills.

    Legends of Istanbul: Live Show review

    Such an amazing show!<br>I honestly didn’t expect it to be this impressive. The visuals, the sound, the atmosphere — it felt like stepping into another world. From Medusa’s tragic story to the flight over the Bosphorus and the conquest of Constantinople — pure goosebumps!<br><br>I especially loved the scenes with Hürrem Sultan and the whirling dervishes — beautiful, emotional, and truly magical.<br><br>If you’re in Istanbul and looking for something unique and unforgettable — go see it. It’s not just history, it’s an experience.
