I was picked up from the European side. The workshop took place on the Asian side. Very friendly staff, super welcoming and learned a lot! The coffee was amazing and I even got a present for home. Thanks so much! :)

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

Einzigartig, informativ und man hat ein tolles Mitbringsel (Im Preis inklusive!) Keine Verkaufsveranstaltung. Nicht einmal wurde irgendetwas zum Verkauf angeboten! Top Man wird warm empfangen. Bekommt wie versprochen Kekse und Tee - 5-10min Geschichte erklärt und dann wird selbst Hand angelegt. Nicht überfüllt. Wir waren nur 10 Leute. Unser Kurs war auf Englisch. Im Grunde waren aber 95% Prozent der Anwesenden deutsch. Schade aber kein Problem. Zeitlich wird man gut fertig es sei denn man ist zu perfektionistisch. Am Ende wird die Lampe von einer der Damen kontrolliert und nochmal geprüft, dass auch alles kleben bleibt und korrekt gemacht wurde. Wer geizig ist sollte morgens um 9 den Kurs belegen - oft etwas billiger. Preis Leistung top Danke!

Create a signature scent in Istanbul review

Poorly organised. The workshop was divided in two groups, English and Turkish speaking. The host spent considerable more time with one of the groups, while our group ended up just seated waiting for him to come back. The fragrance testing is also really disorganised. Lots of bottles moving around tables, people taking up to 5 or 6 bottles at the same time, etc. I don’t think it’s worth it

Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

I happened to be the only participant, which turned into an unexpected private session that could have been quite awkward, but it wasn’t at all thanks to my wonderful host! I sadly forgot her name but she was absolutely amazing! Very kind, welcoming, and knowledgeable. She explained everything clearly, made the whole experience feel natural and relaxed, and we had such a great conversation throughout. It genuinely felt like she enjoyed the experience just as much as I did. I’m truly grateful for how generously she shared her culture and knowledge with me. It made the experience feel very personal and meaningful. I would definitely recommend this activity to anyone. And of course, the coffee was excellent!

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

We had an amazing time at this mosaic lamp workshop! Everyone was so warm and welcoming, and the whole experience was really fun and enjoyable. The workshop was very hands-on and felt really rewarding from start to finish. We also got tea and homemade cookies, which were so delicious! The best part was definitely seeing our lamps light up at the end, such a satisfying and proud moment after making them ourselves. Would totally recommend this experience to anyone looking for something fun and creative!
