    Leather Crafting Workshop with a Local Artisan review

    Honestly, this was the highlight of our trip. It was just the two of us, so we got tons of 1-on-1 time with the instructor, who really knows his stuff when it comes to leather. They actually met us on the European side and navigated us through the metro over to the Asian side, which took all the stress out of it (they even paid the fare). We were sipping on Turkish coffee and tea the whole time - just felt super welcomed. Definitely book this if you’re in Istanbul

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Zeynab and Eunice who helped us were the best! We messed up the location and they still let us do the workshop which was really great. They were also great working with our Iranian and American group, speaking some Turkish and some English.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Der Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop ist sehr toll und es hat super Spaß gemacht. Die Hosts sind sehr freundlich und erklären einem sehr detailliert und man merkt, dass sie Ahnung haben, von dem was sie machen. Kann ich jedem nur empfehlen und es ist eine tolle 10/10 Experience, die etwas Abwechslung in das klassische Touri-Programm bringt!

    What a fun activity - the guides were very informative and gave a great history lesson of it - definitely worth it, I would do it again. Recommend getting there about 10 minutes before the workshop. The place is really nice as well. As for the fortune…. I am still waiting for that billion dollar jackpot!!! Ha!!

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Ayşe was an absolute delight — so patient, kind, and attentive throughout the whole experience. She explained everything clearly and helped us create beautiful patterns with perfect proportions. This was a surprise gift for my mom, who loves DIY projects, and even she said it was an excellent experience. We were both very happy with the final result. Thank you so much!

    I absolutely fell in love with this experience. Mustafa is incredible - attentive, thoughtful, and truly knowledgeable about his craft. He guides you gently, helping you explore without pressure, which makes the whole process feel very natural. The atmosphere was calm, intimate, and deeply inspiring. It didn’t feel like a typical workshop, but rather a personal, creative journey. I left not only with a fragrance, but with a beautiful memory. Thank you!
