    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    What an experience, loved the whole lamp making workshop. But the highlight for me was the warm hospitality and genuine kindness the guides showed me and my sister. We asked for recommendations for lunch, how to get around the city on public transport and other local hidden gems. They were more than happy to take the time and show me on Google maps where these locations are. Thank you so much.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Since it was a group of three, we all bonded with the instructor, and among ourselves. It was a great time laughing and appreciating each others lamp work. Loved the experience and definitely something I would attend again when I return Inshallah. 5 stars for Bin Tranh (The Star); Excellent guide and great company.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    El taller esta en Uskudar, pero nos recogieron en la parte Europea y nos acompañaron en metro al taller. El taller es pequeño pero suficiente. Ambiente familiar y la verdad, pensando que soy muy torpe con las manualidades, fue facil y sorprendentemente relajante. Te sirven el te o cafe que quieras mientras haces la actividad y justo dentro tambien tienen un bar donde si quieres tomarte algo mas, puedes. En cuanto a la actividad, lo veia muy complicado antes de ir pero una vez el profesor nos dijo como hacerlo, fue sencillo y el resultado muy bonito. Vine con mi hija y nos encanto. Lo recomiendo 100%

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Likely the BEST excursion we’ve had on our three country three week trip. The hosts were genuinely hospitable, preemptively helpful, and refreshingly- loved what they do. The site and snacks were great. The group size was perfect enough to mingle but not get lost. My daughter and I equally enjoyed our time. Thank you!!

    Perfume Making Workshop review

    Ein ganz tolles Erlebnis! Man sollte wissen, dass der Workshop auf der asiatischen Seite stattfindet und daher der Treffpunkt etwas eher in Sultanahmet ist. Die Location ist sehr schön und ruhig, ideal für diesen Workshop. Der Aufbau war gut und klar definiert und das Ergebnis ist noch cooler, als erwartet. Wir haben mit einem 6-jährigen Kind teilgenommen, das (mit unserer Unterstützung) auch einen eigenen Duft entworfen hat und sehr stolz darauf ist.
