    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Er staat drank en hapjes. Dit is sterk overdreven. Je krijgt 1 keer water of Turkse koffie en heel kleine koekjes. Voor elk 1. Voor de rest heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam voor de workshop op zich. Een absolute aanrader! Er vlak naast kan je ook eten en dit hebben we niet gedaan. Niet echt vriendelijk.

    Perfume Making Workshop review

    Nous avons passé un excellent moment avec Ali. Il nous a parfaitement expliqué comment créer notre parfum, nous a donné d’excellents conseils. Nous avons eu du thé, café, gâteau, eau fraîche … à volonté pendant toute l’activité. À la fin, nous sommes reparties avec notre bouteille de parfum. À faire sans hésiter !!

    We are brought to a workshop In the Asia side. Plenty of different colour pieces to choose from to create a pattern. And it turns out beautiful when light is on. Workshop is In a nice area with coffee shops to wait for the glue to dry.

    Unser Guide war sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Es wurden keine Fragen offen gelassen und sie hat sich super um uns gekümmert, mit Ideen und ehrliche Einschätzungen was die Umsetzung angeht. Die Location sowie die dort arbeitende Personen waren sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Ein Besuch ist es definitiv wert. Vielen Dank an alle!

    Bardzo ciekawe warsztaty prowadzone w nieformalnej, serdecznej atmosferze. Prowadzący znakomicie się nami zaopiekował, wszystko było znakomicie zorganizowane od początku do końca. Bardzo dobry angielski, nie za dużą grupa, przestronnie, naturalnie i swobodnie. Gratulacje i wielkie dzięki za serdeczność, profesjonalizm i zupełnie niezwykłe doświadczenie.

    Perfume Making Workshop review

    高校生2人で参加しました。他国からの観光客(ソロ、カップル、ファミリー)が同席の回でした。英語で香水の基本説明(トップ、ミドル、ラストの香り方や調合比率など)があり、その後好みのエッセンシャルオイルを探して香りを作っていきます。最後にはガイドの方が香りの調整をしてくれ、オリジナルの香水が出来上がります。ガイド参加証明書もいただけます。同席の方とお話ししながら楽しく参加できました。また機会があれば他のアクティビティも参加したいです!

    Overall the experience was great! The thing I liked the most about the workshop is that I get to take home a piece that will last a long time physically and in my memories. It was an artistic challenge but it was broken down to the point that anyone could do it.

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    Getting picked up from the European side and then taken on the train was an excellent start to the workshop, not only was it a lovely service but our guide also gave us some awesome information about places to visits & how to get to them via public transport after the workshop which was a great help if you haven’t used the public transport yet. The workshop itself was fantastic! Our host was extremely knowledgeable and engaging, and it was great to learn about the history of Turkish coffee making, as well as coffee beans in general, and then linking it all back to culture and customs of Turkish people. The coffee making itself was fun, in a great workshop space, and getting to take home the little kit to remember our experience by was fantastic!
