Farouk was extremely friendly. We learnt new things about coffee in general. We love our souvenir, which we received at the end of the workshop...Thank you Farouk for such an amazing experience 🙂sunum ingilizceydi ama egitmenim çok yardımcı oldu harikaydı Nihal hanıma teşekkürlerEnjoyed our visitEs war richtig cool!

Everything was wonderful! We are grateful we got to meet the staff, everybody was very nice and helpful, not to mention kind and sweet. It's worth every single penny. Do not miss this experience if you are in Istanbul.Amazing experience, the instructor (Ali) was helpful and kind. They helped us to find the workshop’s location from the European side, there was a meeting point and the collegue show us which public transport should we use. We were satisfied with the results also. First, I was confused about what fragrants should I use, but we had enough time to smell, think it over, and after we had chose, Ali helped us whether if it will fit or not. We are very thankful! 🥰Eszméletlen program, kötelező ha Isztambulban jár az emberDer Workshop hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Man konnte den Workshopleiter sehr gut mit seinem Englisch verstehen. Das Ergebnis war auch klasse. Es gibt nur einen Punkt Abzug, weil wir den Workshop gebucht haben in Fatih und er dann aber auf der asiatischen Seite von Istanbul stattgefunden hat. Den Hinweg wurden wir von einem Guide begleitet, der auch das U-Bahn Ticket bezahlt hatte. Am Ende des Workshop war aber kein Guide mehr da und wir mussten zusehen, wie wir wieder zurückkommen. Das hätte man bereits vor der Buchung erkenntlich machen sollen, einfach dass man weiß, was einen noch erwartet.Muy padre, todo súper bien explicado y al final te llevas tu artesanía y Bintang una increíble persona fue el que nos guió durante toda la experiencia y todo magnífico :)Super leuke ervaring, en je houdt je parfum eraan over! De begeleiding tijdens de workshop is professioneel en goed en je krijgt meer dan genoeg tijd om je geur samen te stellen.My friend and I loved the perfume making class. Zeynep was a great teacher! I would highly recommend!E’ stata una bellissima esperienza.. personalmente e’ stata la prima volta che ho fatto questo tipo di lavoretto. Inoltre le ragazze sono molto gentili e accoglienti.This is an excellent hands on activity to do something different while learning about the history and culture of Turkiye. Informative, entertaining and like a comfortable, relaxing visit with friends. You learn various methods that are used and then get to brew your own Turkish coffee and it is the best cup of Turkish coffee I've ever had! The fortune telling was fun and more in depth than I expected. There is a generous surprise to end the workshop. Istanbul Workshops offers more classes and while your there try the delicious tiramisu in their coffeehouse and explore the Asian side of the city. Highly recommended!Everything about this experience was amazing. We were given clear directions on where to meet our host on the European side and escorted, with the fare paid for, via the metro to the Asian side, Uskudur. We were then escorted to the workshop where we met our instructor, Bintang, who gave us an excellent tutorial on the design and construction of our lamps. Coffee, tea and biscuits were complementary and the atmosphere was friendly and fun. Best of all, we left with complete, beautiful lamps that will be a lasting memory of our visit to Istanbul!Traditional Turkish Calligraphy Workshop

sehr gutOur family had an amazing time — this was absolutely one of our top experiences. We travel all over the world with our two boys (boys; ages 11 and 15), and it’s not always easy to find something everyone enjoys. This hit the mark for all four of us. My younger son needed a little extra help with some of the pieces, and the instructor was incredibly patient and polite, taking the time to guide him through. Everyone involved was genuinely kind and thoughtful, which made the experience even better. The finished product was something we all loved, and it was well worth the money. I highly recommend this for anyone, especially families with different personalities and interests. It’s a rare find that brings everyone together — and this did exactly that.l'insegnante prepararissimo sia dal punto di vista pratico, che dal punto di vista comunicativo, attività molto particolare e carina che ti lascia un ricordo indimenticabileI had a lovely and relatively quieter time away from the Istanbul crowds in this coffee making workshop, which was a fantastic experience. Our instructor was charismatic and charming and took the time to explain to us the origins and history of Turkish coffee and what makes its production/qualities unique. We had our own go at making it and boy was it harder than I expected, but really good fun! The fortune telling portion was also really interesting and the group definitely learnt a great deal from our instructor. I also got to meet many new people as a solo traveller which I really enjoyed. Would highly recommend!A wonderful experience with having my own go at mixing different scents and notes and creating my very own perfume mix. Our instructors were lovely and enthusiastic and taught and even challenged many of us on our combinations to ensure we got the best possible product! As a solo traveller I also got to meet many new people which I thoroughly enjoyed as well. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for a quieter time away from the Istanbul crowds.Rehberimizin ilgi alakası ve mükemmeliyetçiği için teşekkür ederiz genel olarak dört dörtlük bir workshop oldu tekrardan gelmeyi düşünüyoruzwe really like this experience, it was on asianside in a really cute place. We could meet there or in European side and they took us there. in the end they gave us some gifts. you should do it in the morning and then spending the afternoon on asianside exploringEin absolutes Muss für Istanbul. Sehr freundlich absolut unkompliziert. Und ein tolles Erlebnis😃I highly recommend doing this on your trip, everyone was so kind and helpful, and the lamps we made are so pretty, thank you so much!From the moment we met on the European side and were guided to the Asian, to the perfume making, everything ran smoothly and was a very enjoyable experience. The host, Zeyneb, was beautiful and kind and definitely knew what she was doing. It was a warm and friendly environment. Great place to meet like-minded people from all over the world. my perfume turned out great too. Id definitely come backGot a question? We're here to answer!
