    The guide to and from the venue was awesome, very friendly and helpful. The activity was fun and educational regarding the history of coffee in Turkey. We received a cute gift at the end which was lovely. Overall a cool experience.

    Una experiencia para los sentidos! El taller de perfumes en Estambul es increíble. Te sumerges en el mundo de los aromas y creas tu propia fragancia. La instructora es una chica encantadora y con un conocimiento impresionante. Te guía paso a paso para que el resultado sea perfecto.

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    Superbe moment dans un endroit typique pour découvrir le café turc du côté asiatique d’Istanbul. Un beau moment de partage de la culture avec des guides qui ont une passion pour ce qu’ils font. Très agréable.

    Super activité ! Mustafa est très gentil et très pédagogue. Nous avons passé un très bon moment et repartons avec un petit souvenir fait main et typique de Turquie. Cela permet aussi de faire des rencontres d’autres touristes venu de tout horizon. Je recommande ! (Maitriser l’anglais est un vrai + pour profiter pleinement de l’activité)

    Perfume Making Workshop review

    I had such a great time learning how to make perfume from scratch with Zeynep!! She is very skilled and she explained everything in a way that was super easy to follow, and I ended up learning so much about how fragrances are created. The whole experience felt warm and welcoming, we even had cookies and tea while working 🤩. Zeynep was so patient and kind the whole time, which made it even more enjoyable. I left not only with my own perfume but also with a big smile. Highly recommend!l 👏🏼 👏🏼

    Eine wunderschöne Erfahrung, die einfach Spaß macht. Und dass man drin eigenes Parfum in den Händen hält, ist kaum zu toppen. Die Atmosphäre vor Ort war absolut angenehm und Zeynep ist eine absolute Spezialistin und macht den Workshop zu etwas besonderem. Vielen Dank!

    Gostei bastante, é uma atividade onde aprendemos não só a fazer o café turco, como um pouco da história também. E o melhor é tomar o café prepara por nós. Foi um grupo pequeno e bastante amigável. Recomendo essa atividade quando estiver em Istambul.

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    It’s not about fortune telling. It’s focused on coffee. It can be faster I don’t why it takes so long. I liked it but it should be shorter and I was expecting more things about fortune telling.

    Perfume Making Workshop review

    My family had a fantastic time creating our own perfume at this workshop. The host, Zenith, did a great job explaining the process and sharing the science behind crafting a unique scent. Everything we needed was provided, and the experience ran smoothly from start to finish. Zenith also made it fun and engaging! Our 11 yr old son really enjoyed participating, and it was wonderful to share the experience with a group of friendly people from all over the world. Highly recommend this workshop!

    Sehr war sehr schön und man hatte die Möglichkeit sich auszutoben. Ein Manko war, dass wir den Workshop auf türkisch gebucht hatten, leider jedoch das Ganze auf Englisch stattgefunden hat. Nichtsdestotrotz waren wir mit allem zufrieden und es hat uns sehr Spaß gemacht!

    Excellent value for money and a great workshop. Friendly and helpful staff and the person leading the workshop clearly knew what he was doing. Clear with instructions and definitely skilled. Unlimited drinks and snacks - could be a great way to try your first Turkish coffee or Turkish tea. Bottled water also offered. Would definitely recommend the workshop. I learnt so much about how to make perfume. On a personal front I would have liked to know some history about perfume and Turkey.
