    Perfume Making Workshop review

    Can’t remember having an experience this wonderful! Seriously no comments at all!! Nothing but pure fun, joy, learning and uniqueness. Mustafa was very knowledgeable in-addition to the sweet lady who was assisting us as well. I believe she’s from Kazakhstan. She helped me take some nice shots during this unforgettable workshop. Value is 5/5 as an actual 50ml perfume might cost more than this entire amazing workshop. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

    We enjoyed the team effort to make this experience great. Everyone was welcoming and generous with their time and knowledge. The workshop space and atmosphere is very comfortable. The end result was fantastic and we both love our custom fragrance. Many thanks to Ali, Zainab, and the rest of the team!

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Tolle Location auf der asiatischen Seite von Istanbul. Wir sind direkt zur Location angereist und haben uns den Stadtteil angeschaut. Der Kurs hat uns sehr viel Spaß gemacht. Die gute Anleitung hat uns geholfen tolle Souvenirs herzustellen. Es gab ausreichend Getränke und ein paar Kekse.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    The experience from start to finish was amazing and I enjoyed it so much. The guide met us and took us to the metro which was included in the price (the way there). When we arrived everything was set up. We then had a lovely lady tell us the history of the mosaic. Then a brief talk about how to make the lamps and we began. Drinks and snacks were provided. The place was quaint and cool x

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Cóż za wspaniałe doświadczenie! nie mogę uwierzyć, że za tak niską cenę mogłam uczestniczyć w atrakcyjnym dla mnie doświadczeniu. Dzięki temu mogę zabrać ze sobą własnoręcznie ozdobioną lampę. Atmosfera, prowadzącą zajęcia, która też nas odebrała i zaprowadziła w miejsce warsztatów: wszystko to było super. Polecam każdemu, kto jest chociaż trochę kreatywny ;)

    Leather Crafting Workshop review

    I had an amazing experience at the leather crafting workshop! The instructor was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about his craft. He walked me through every step of the process, making it easy for beginners me to follow along and actually create something I’m really happy with and will use for a long long time hopefully! The premium quality materials used also made a big difference in the final product. His enthusiasm for leatherwork is contagious, and by the end of the session I felt genuinely inspired to explore this as a new hobby. You should also check out his leather accessories brand, Wabes, he creates stunning bags and accessories! Highly recommend this workshop for anyone interested in learning a new practical skill or just have a lovely creative afternoon.

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    What a disaster. They provided only part of what was offered. If the three types of coffee, we only did two. No water, tea or snacks were offered. This event takes place on the Asian continent. They meet you in the European side and take you over. They say they will return you back to the pickup point, as advertised. However, when the event was over they said It was up to us to get back. I filed a complaint with Viator that they never even responded to. Shane on Viator to not offer a refund based on the vendor failing to provide the excursion as advertised and not even getting back to Viator. Shows who more important to Viator, and that’s not you.
