    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    This was by far one of the highlights of my trip! Visited Istanbul for Mum’s birthday and we are both very creative, so doing something like this was right up our alley! Great service, met our lovely guide on the Europe side, headed over to the Asian side and enjoyed every second of this. Our lamps are proudly displayed at home as reminders of our fantastic time. Thank you Mustafa.

    Perfume Making Workshop review

    This was a very fun experience! At first it was a little overwhelming because they have so many options! However, this was a pro because you could really customize your scent to your desire. The host and helpers were really nice and useful. I would love to do this experience again sometime.

    Perfume Making Workshop review

    Wir hatten kurzfristig irgendeine Beschäftigung wegen des zu heißen Wetters an diesem Tag gesucht, und sind glücklich, diese gefunden zu haben. Es war total interessant, in sich hineimzuhören, welche Düfte man mag, und diese zu kombinieren. Auch Ali, den Gastgeber, in seinem Element zu erleben, war ein Highlight. Wir können es für Teenager und Erwachsene weiterempfehlen. Erwartet nur nicht zu viel vom "Gebäck" 😄.

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    Szuper kis program volt. A szervezés kifogástalan. A program előtt megkerestek minket, hogy Isztambul mely részéről megyünk, és ha igényeljük, akkor az európai oldalról lesz kíséretünk. A workshop helyszíne igényes volt. A program előadója lelkes és nagy tudású. Igazán élvezetes program, csak ajánlani tudom.

    It's an excellent program and well run. The people are fanastic. Took one star off b/c it's outside and really hot. They try to make you comfortable but in 90+ degree it's just too hot and should be indoors.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    We had an amazing time making our lamps! The team was friendly, and we really appreciated the guide helping us navigate to the Asian side of Istanbul via the metro. The atmosphere during the workshop was cozy and warm, with tea and snacks provided. It's also a great opportunity to explore Üsküdar on your own afterward. We would highly recommend this experience!

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Bintang and the team at Istanbul Workshops were so amazing and friendly. We really appreciated the guide arriving on the European side and getting us through to the Asian side of Istanbul for our workshop (this was an added bonus as we then felt confident using the metro system afterwards). The guide was so helpful and guided us so well as we made our creations. We weren’t sure what to expect, but we’ve walked away having really enjoyed the experience. So much so, that one member of our group - who chose not to attend - wants to go back (and to be honest, I think we’ll all go back and do it again). Would highly recommend!

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    我覺得這個活動非常有趣,老師不僅很有耐心,工作人員都很好,可以帶回獨一無二的紀念品。等作品乾作品需要一些時間,所以我就去附近逛了一下。拿作品的時候,想說先喝杯咖啡再走,結果他們居然幫我免單,真的很感謝🥹 我覺得就算英文不太好也沒關係,因為步驟都很簡單,老師也會一步步講解,是很棒的體驗。 I found this activity really interesting. The instructor was very patient and kind, and it was great that we could take home such a unique souvenir. While waiting for my piece to dry, I took a stroll around the neighborhood. When I came back to pick it up, I planned to have a cup of coffee before leaving, but they surprised me by treating me to it for free! I think it’s perfectly fine even if you don’t speak much English, because the steps are simple, and the instructor explains everything step by step. It was truly a wonderful experience.
