Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

The whole experience was amazing. Beyond our expectations they communicated very well and told us the meeting point from there a guide took us on the tram from Europe to Asia side. It’s a quaint little coffee shop and they have other workshop. Fun activities is going on. Such as Making perfume and or bracelets. We attended the Turkish coffee making workshop with fortunetelling. It was very well organized, and Farouk was well prepared and educated us from the very beginning about coffee how it was imported into turkey how it turned into a delicacy and quite the presentation during an important events. We had fun, grinding the coffee and making it . it was delicious. The price was well worth it and at the end they give you a set to take with you, which was such a great keepsake so that we can try it at home on our own. It was such a great experience and we truly enjoyed our time. Thank you so much. I highly recommend this activity for anybody visiting Istanbul.

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

The Team were very engaging with the group, not only helping with the activities but also by getting us to interact with each other and helping to breakdown natural barriers between people who don't know each other. The snacks and drink were in good supply throughout and the atmosphere was great, very friendly. Best part is we are able to take our memories home with us,you keep what you create.

Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

This was such good value for money, and I don’t even like coffee! My friend is into coffee which is the reason we did this tour. Our guide met us at the metro station on the European side, which we then took over to the Asian side where their workshop was - and the metro fare was included. Even the evening before, the guide sent a WhatsApp to check where we would like to meet, & ensured we knew the location was on the Asian side - which was excellent because we had actually messed this up ourselves. On arrival, each place setting was ready for us, & the guide talked through a little bit of history before showing us how Turkish coffee is made, & then making our own. The activity took a couple of hours, & was really engaging the whole time. Would definitely recommend!

Very nice creative activity and it was fun to match all the colours and designs together. Better to have your own made Turkish lamp to buy one from the shop. Would definitely recommend.

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

This was such a great experience! It's really fun for artistic people, but also for people who feel like they aren't too creative - you get a few sample patterns that you can do, so it's not difficult at all. The instructors Kübra and Ümmü Ebiha were extremely helpful and kind, so it was a pleasure attending this workshop!

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

It was incredible!!! Had so much fun and lost track of time. The place was unique and the tools and the vibrant colors of mosaic with the backstory telling which was quite interesting and the instructor was very nice and friendly. The best thing is that you get to see the lamp come together and light up with all the reflections of different mosaic colors which you later once it’s done you get to keep and now it’s on my cupboard in my room having the Islamic sunset light. ALSO not to mention getting to meet cool people from all around the world. Since a great experience, highly recommend.

Whirling Dervishes Ceremony at a Real Mevlevihane review

Tarih ve manevi derinlikle dolu bir yer olan Kasımpaşa Mevlevihanesi, Osmanlı kültürü, tasavvuf ve geleneksel mimariye ilgi duyan herkes için gerçek bir gizli hazine. Turist kalabalığından uzakta, sakin, neredeyse meditatif bir atmosfer hakimdir ve ziyaretçileri oyalanmaya ve düşünmeye davet eder.

Whirling Dervishes Ceremony at a Real Mevlevihane review

Geçmişi ve bugünü harika bir şekilde harmanlayan bir yer! Kasmpaşa Mevlevi Hanı sadece tarihi bir bina değil; manevi derinliğe, Osmanlı kültürüne ve sanatsal başyapıtlara canlı bir tanıklık. Mimari, ince detaylar, Mevlevi Tarikatı'nın sanat eserleri - hepsi bizi gerçekten hayrete düşürdü ve derinden etkiledi. Burada tarihin nefesini hissedebiliyorsunuz, aynı zamanda kalbinize dokunan bir huzur da. Burayı ziyaret etmek, sevgi, müzik ve içsel düşüncelerle dolu başka bir zamana küçük bir yolculuk gibi. Mutlaka görülmeli! Ruh ve güzellik dolu bir yer - şiddetle tavsiye edilir! ❤️❤️❤️
