Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

It was an amazing experience and a beautiful company ! We really enjoyed the workshop, all information was very interesting. We also appreciated the personal approach to every guest. Should we even mention that the coffee itself was wonderful ? Thank you very much for all the team, it added the real magic to our Istanbul trip. ✨ (It also gives you the opportunity to see the Asian side of the city, which we absolutely loved!)

Wonderful experience,highly recommended. Thank you so much for such an engaging and inspiring workshop. The three hours flew by in a warm, welcoming atmosphere - creating a unique souvenir, sipping tea and coffee, and enjoying lovely conversations. I truly appreciated the friendly vibe and attention to detail. I’ve already planned to join more of your workshops during my next visit - that’s how much I loved it!

Istanbul:Original Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop w/ Snacks review

Positivt: Meget flotte lokaler, dygtig og engageret underviser med humor og meget højt niveau af engelsk, og mega fedt at få at hurtigt indblik i et håndværk, og sådan set billigt nok, i betragtning af at man kan få en lampe med hjem. Der blev også serveret te, kaffe og vand ad libitum af venlige medhjælpere. Negativt: Det var oplyst, at aktiviteten startede kl 18, men i virkeligheden skulle man være ved mødestedet 17.30 og køre i metro til værkstedet. Så jeg fik pludselig travlt, da det først blev oplyst i en mail efter tilmelding. Var eneste tilmeldte og værkstedet kontaktede mig derfor for at høre, om jeg ikke ønskede at ombooke til en anden dag, men det kunne jeg desværre ikke. Jeg tilbød dem, at de gerne måtte aflyse, men det ønskede de ikke. Guiden, der hentede mige, forklarede at det ville ødelægge algoritmen på Getyorurguide, så de ville rangere lavere. Så det var lidt en kold skulder.
