Perfume Making Workshop review

This workshop was worth to follow....very interesting to make your own scent, your own perfume.....We had in the past already 2 workshops here and we recommend this location for sure...as we stayed on the Asian side of Istanbul we went with taxi to the location....In these 3 times now taxi driver had always problems to find the exact location....First time taxi dropped us somewhere and had to find our self what was not so easy....Now and the second time we insisted to drop us of in front of the location....We had a good time here and when we come back in Istanbul we will explore for sure other workshops here to follow....

Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

Było fantastycznie, dowiedzieliśmy się bardzo dużo ciekawych informacji, los chciał że trafiliśmy tak iż byliśmy jedynymi na poranne zajęcia przez co prowadzący mógł nam poświęcić dużo więcej czasu i podejść do nas indywidualnie, ogólnie to serdecznie polecam 😁

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

Super expérience. Je recommande cette activité qui permet de se reposer un peu loin du tumulte de la ville. L ambiance est tres conviviale dans une salle sympa avec un petit café attenant. C est tres satisfaisant de repartir avec sa lampe créée par soi même.

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.

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!
