    Perfume Making Workshop review

    Sehr interessanter und lehrreicher Workshop in einer schönen Location. Ali hat uns sehr gut die Grundregeln der Parfum-Kreation vermittelt. Aus 60 unterschiedlichen Essenzen konnten wir ein individuelles Parfum kreieren. Auch die Abholung und Rückfahrt mit Mustafa hat wunderbar geklappt. Zudem wurden wir mit köstlichem Türkischem Kaffee, Tee und Konfekt verwöhnt. Wir können den Workshop ohne Vorbehalt weiterempfehlen.

    Perfume Making Workshop review

    Ein absolutes Highlight! Ich bin ohne große Erwartungen hingegangen, aber wurde völlig überrascht und begeistert. Schon der Empfang war sehr freundlich, und wir wurden zum Workshop-Ort gebracht, der wunderschön und gemütlich war. Unser Guide Ali hat uns mit viel Wissen und Leidenschaft in die Welt der Düfte eingeführt, alles verständlich erklärt und uns jederzeit unterstützt. Die Erfahrung, meinen eigenen Duft zu kreieren, war unglaublich spannend – eine tolle Mischung aus Kreativität und Sinneserlebnis! Ich kann es wirklich jedem empfehlen!

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Mir (Patrick, 11 J.) hat es nicht so gefallen, weil ich meine kreative Idee (meine Skizze vom Mosaik-Sportauto mit Rädern) nicht aufkleben durfte, sondern Sterne uns Muster kleben musste. Obwohl mein Vater (Martin, 56. J.) der Kursleiterin meinen Wunsch erläutert hat, durfte ich meine Idee nicht umsetzen. Da musste ich weinen und fühle mich nicht ernst genommen und bloßgestellt. Obwohl das anderen Kindern in meinem Alter gewiss viel Spaß machen dürfte, finden wir, Ihr könnt ruhig mehr künstlerische Freiheit wagen und zulassen.

    Perfume Making Workshop review

    I followed this workshop with my 3 teenager boys (17, 15 and 13 years old). The class was explained in good English, which all kids could easily understand. Although we were in a rather big group (21 persons), it was still possible to have the right attention for all participants so that everybody could create their own perfume. My boys loved the explanation, and that we had more than enough time to discover the scents to select the ones for our own personal perfume. This is a workshop that I can recommend doing with a small group, and even if you are on your own, because every participant is united in making his/her perfume, it creates a natural way to connect with people from around the globe, we had e.g. people from Lituania, Kazachstan, France, Germany with us. We also saw the participants of the 2 other workshops (coffee brew workshop and lanterns making), while these activities were less attractive for my kids, it seemed they were also performed with the same professionalism.

    Great experience with plenty of details on perfume making. Nice activity if you have 1.5 hour to spend in Istanbul. Totally recommend a personalised perfume that you make youself. We were served tea coffee and biscuits throughout the activity.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    We met near the river we was ok - taken on the train to the Asia side of Istanbul, we had to walk a little to the place which was ok. Once we got there the guide explained the schedule to us and we started our workshop it was very therapeutic and very enjoyable experience we loved it!!! it bought out our creative minds, calming and intense. We were given lots of tea and little snacks I was well chuffed with my creation. The lamps are then left to dry, unfortunately, they did not give my lamp enough time to dry so when the bubble wrap was taken off it was stuff to the lamp... but other than that it was a brilliant! plan to stay on the Asia side while you are there get to see fish market eat nice fresh food! We got the ferry back cost 70 liras as we chose to stay back and not go with the guide. I would do this workshop again.

    Traditional Stained Glass Painting Workshop review

    This was a fantastic class. It was a very hands on workshop with a lot of room for creativity. Tea, coffee, and snacks were provided throughout. The cafe was in a very cool part of town with lots of food options nearby. It was a fun way to end a day in Istanbul and it gives you a unique and memorable experience with a souvenir to display in your home or give as a gift.
