    Traditional Stained Glass Painting Workshop review

    The perfect activity for spending a slow morning after a busy few days of exploring. Instructor Eda is the sweetest and was always ready to help. The tea, coffee and snacks are also such a nice touch. Very cozy and homey atmosphere.

    Turkish Tile - Ceramic Art Workshop review

    Chaïma est vraiment une personne exceptionnelle ! Gentille, bienveillante, elle fait tout pour que l’on passe le meilleur moment possible. Elle nous donne des idées aussi pour notre dessin et peinture. Une expérience au top, un beau souvenir placé dans un cadre à la fin et bien emballé. Je recommande et reviendrai très certainement insh’Allah

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    De las mejores experiencias que me llevo de Estambul. Mustafa fue un guía y profesor excepcional que se preocupa por tener claridad antes de la actividad y cómo llegar. Un taller ameno, informativo, con historia interesante acerca del café turco y te enseñan el singular método paso a paso. Fue una experiencia que recomiendo 100%! el kit para llevar el una maravilla!

    Turkish Tile - Ceramic Art Workshop review

    FYI - after we booked this activity we were contacted via WhatsApp and informed the workshop and activity is actually located on the “Asian” side of Istanbul. We were given two options and the first allowed us to meet a guide who assisted us by taking us on the metro to the workshop. Unfortunately after the activity ended we had to pay for the transport home/figure out how to get back to the European side which was really inconvenient at 6pm (rush hour). Overall, we really enjoyed the activity. Our guide was super lovely and helpful. We had unlimited tea and water and heaps of guidance. The entire thing was packed up beautifully and we couldn’t be happier with our souvenirs. We would definitely book this again and even try the other activities like mosaic lantern / perfume workshop. Just be aware that this activity is on the Asian side of İstanbul, NOT the European side (as it is advertised). I hope the activity provider updates the description so that people are more prepared.

    Everything was great! We started bit delayed as the table was not free yet. Would be great to avoid that extra waiting time. But outside that, it was a wonderful experience and would recommend and do any time again .

    Perfume Making Workshop review

    I don’t know from where to start. If you are reading this, then I’m writing this with full honesty. Let’s start with the location of the place, it was a long road that lead us to small beautiful town. We found the coffee shop and it looked small from the outside, but as soon as you enter, you will see how spacious and gorgeous the place is. Mr. Ali was our guide, and he was super nice as well as the other staff. He spoke English well and stayed with us through the entire process of making our perfume. They offer limitless hot drinks and water! As well as their delicious cookies! My fiancé and I were extremely happy with the experience and we would definitely try one of their other 5 activities! Really, don’t miss this opportunity with such a place and kind hosts! Thank you all, and for sure thank you Ali :)

    Perfume Making Workshop review

    The workshop was pretty interesting and Ali is a very nice host. We received coffee and cookies during the activity. I would suggest some improvements for future workshops regarding the organization. The process involved smelling all the perfumes individually, which was a bit overwhelming. It would have been helpful if the perfumes were grouped into categories (e.g. fresh, sweet, fruity?) to make the experience more structured. Additionally, having some guidance on which combinations work well based on our preferences would have been very beneficial.

    This workshop was so much fun . Everyone in our group enjoy it . However the address that is shown is only the meet up point , the actual workshop is located in the Asian side so we have to travel there so it kind of threw us off on the schedule.

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    The activity was phenomenal! Our guide was fantastic and really made all tourists feel included. It is GREAT value for money. You receive a pack at the end with fantastic momentos including Turkish coffee sample, jug and coffee cup. Then after, if you wish to stay for a tea or coffee it is also included in the cost. Unbelievable! Loved every minute of it.

    Traditional Stained Glass Painting Workshop review

    Es waren wundervolle drei Stunden, in denen wir künstlerisch aktiv werden konnten. Wir haben uns dafür entschlossen, unser eigenes Motiv zu kreieren. Die Workshopleiterin ist eine ganz lieber und hilfsbereite Frau, die bei kleineren „Farbunfällen“ ruhig und professionell helfen kann. Zwischendurch gab es immer wieder Tee und Gebäck. Wir sind absolut begeistert! :-)

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Beim Treffpunkt hat uns eine ganz Nette abgeholt (Esma) , (sie hatte uns auch einen Tag vorher angerufne und den Weg zum Atelier erklärt, )sie ist mit uns auf die andere Seite mit der Marmaray gefahren und hat uns paar sidefacts genannt. Im Café angekommen konnten wir uns erstmal kurz im Garten entspannen. Dann hat uns unsere Einweiserin (Beyza) abgeholt und uns alles ruhig erklärt und auch immer wieder geholfen, türkischer kaffe, Tee, Wasser und Kekse waren gratis dabei. Da die Gegend des Ateliers recht belebt war , waren wir essen und haben dann unsere getrockneten Lampen abgeholt. Alles in allem war’s echt schön und entspannend im ganzen Instanbuler Trubel

    There was a hitch and I couldn't leave with the group from the meeting point but I called Mr. Ali, he explained to me where to come and in the end they waited for me and my friends and we made it! The experience was fantastic, Beyza was fantastic and explained to us step by step how to create the lamp! It was a beautiful experience and in the end we were left with a fantastic memory!

    Amazing!!! One of the best things you can do in Istanbul! They picked us up from a cafe. Got free subway ride, free tee coffee biscuits. The trainer is amazing, very fun and energetic. Good english. The workshop is 2+ hours and you the to keep the perfume you make in the end! If anything I think the experience is too cheap for what you get! Recommended to all my friends who are visiting istanbul soon. Great work!
