Create a signature scent in Istanbul review

Me and my girlfriend were in Istanbul for a few days and really wanted to do something special – and this workshop was just the right thing! Although it was a large group, our host took the time to advise and help each person individually. We had a wide selection of different fragrances, and it was really fun to create our own perfume. The interaction with the other participants was also very nice and relaxed. The atmosphere was great and the tea was very tasty. Highly recommended. Now we have something unique that reminds us of Istanbul! I'd love to do it again! ☀️

Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

We learned a los about the history of turkish Coffee making and its process. Our guide Tanner was so kind and patient, as my Mother doesn't speak English and he waited for me to translate for her so she was not left out. The only thing is that we were expecting bigger bags of Coffee in our gift pack, they were very little. The rest was perfect.
