Super activité créative, dans un cadre très agréable. L’amie avec qui j’étais et moi sommes très heureuse d’avoir pu confectionner cette lampe. Un grand merci à Sehadet pour sa douceur et sa gentillesse.

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.

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

Все было отлично, несмотря на языковой барьер. Но было мало выбора бусинок для покрытия самой лампы, хотелось синюю национальную, а цвета были только с розовым/золотым/зеленым цветом. Для узора много выбора, а вот для основного покрытия нет. Гид был супер!

A program minden elvárásunkat felülmúlta. Nagyon élveztük, minden percét. Jó volt az Isztambuli nyüzsgés után egy pár órára megnyugodni. Az ár érték arány kiváló. Ajánlom mindenkinek jó szívvel!

Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

The activity was fun. the meet up was a bit confusing. when we arrived to the workshop, it was very educational and we were given great detail of the history of turkish coffee. the demonstration could be improved if the instructor had his own set-up and not used the participants materials, it took away a bit of the hands on experience for me. all the others in our group were able to do all the processes hands on. overall it was really fun and they give you a bag with gifts which can be used to do this when you return home. 100% recimmend

Turkish Tile - Ceramic Art Workshop review

This was really nice. Timings and venue was changed last minute so we started off a bit late as they had to prepare for the activity. Guide was nice and friendly, only spoke Turkish though. Staff were nice and kind, Fabrikafa make & coffee is a cute, artsy place. Had a good time overall.
