    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Wir wurden super empfangen und betreut. Sei es die Abholung an der Metrostation, die Beratung bei der Gestaltung der Lampen oder allgemeine Fragen. Unser Guide Sehadet, war sehr freundlich und geduldig, wenn es bei der Gestaltung ein bisschen länger gedauert hat und hat uns bei der Auswahl der Farben unterstützt, sowie die Geschichte hinter den Lampen näher gebracht. Die Lampen sind ein echter Hingucker und viel individueller als Gekaufte. Ein absolutes must do in Istanbul:)

    Perfume Making Workshop review

    Zeynep a été très attentionnée et adorable. Quand au moniteur principal, il parlait très vite en anglais avec des termes que l’on apprend parfois pour la première fois. Un rythme de parole plus posé et moins rapide aurait rendu l’expérience parfaite.

    Perfume Making Workshop review

    Awesome experience. Met met our guides and the rest of our group near the train station and rode the train to the Asia side of Istanbul then walked to the location. Our guides were very knowledgeable about the scents and process and gave very clear instructions and guidance. They also let us make multiple bottles of perfume while we were there which was cool. They also provided snack and refreshment so that was nice as well.

    Perfume Making Workshop review

    Lovely experience for the whole family. They talked us through how to choose from 60+ scents to make our own personalised perfume to take away. Tea, coffee and water provided. Lovely welcoming staff with perfect English. A short walk from the ferry. Our six-year-old daughter loved it as much as we did.

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    This workshop was so nice! One of the best I did in Istanbul. It was very informative, we not only learned how to make Turkish coffee ourselves, but also the historical background in the history of Turkish coffee. The instructor was very kind and patient with us and also showed us how to read our fortune out of the coffee grounds, which was very fun. I can only recommend this workshop!

    Perfume Making Workshop review

    I must admit that in the beginning I was a little worried that the experience would be a touristic scam due to the very reasonable price, but in the end it resulted being one of the best things of my Istanbul stay. The activity takes place in a wonderful cafe in the Asian part of Istanbul, which may seem far to reach but in reality is not. Moreover the organisers were willing to wait and accompany us from the European part to the location. During the activity complimentary tea and cookies were served. Thanks to the very welcoming atmosphere during the event I had the opportunity to meet and share with a lot of wonderful people from all around the world.

    Highlight of our day. The workshop was educational and we learned a lot. The hosts were fun and had a cool way of explaining the theory. They helped us mix the essential oils in order for them to work together according to their ph levels and overall combination. We had a great time and we left with a precious memory.

    Perfume Making Workshop review

    This was such a unique and meaningful experience! The scent-making workshop was not only creative and fun, but also deeply human. Mustafa welcomed us with chai, snacks, and a bit of history, then guided us through the art of building our own custom fragrance. He was excellent. What stood out most was how he connected everyone in the room—people from Russia, Turkey, the UK, UAE, the US, all sharing stories and scents. It was warm, peaceful, and collaborative. Highly recommend! Think about it this way. Scents can tie your brain to memories and if you want a memory of your time in Istanbul, what better way to do it than over your own scent you created and can cherish for years to come.
