    Perfume Making Workshop review

    This is such a wonderful experience at low price! Our guide was very knowledgeable and attentive. The venue is quite beautiful and the drinks and snacks were very nice as well! The scents which we made into a beautiful bottle of perfume were excellent and I am so happy with mine! Really cannot give this enough stars! Highly recommended!

    Traditional Stained Glass Painting Workshop review

    Beautiful & Personal Stained Glass Workshop in Istanbul! We had such an amazing time at this stained glass workshop in Istanbul! The whole experience lasted just over two hours, and we loved every minute of it. After finishing our pieces, we had time to explore the area and then came back later to collect them – it was all super easy and well-organized. The workshop was small and personal, which made it even better. I believe our host's name was Ada (apologies if we got that wrong!) – she was absolutely lovely, so patient and helpful. She provided snacks and drinks, made everyone feel welcome, and really took the time to guide us through each step. Highly recommend this experience

    Perfume Making Workshop review

    What a great experience! We went with our 2 kids and we all had a blast. The staff were so attentive and made the experience so much fun. On a side note, if you choose the meet up option on the European side, the guide will take you over to the Asian side (where the workshop is held) via ferry or train. However, after the class, you are to make your own way back. It's not complicated, we were just surprised.

Beyzanur was an amazing and very friendly hostess and we appreciated the option for pickup on the European side which made getting there a breeze! if you're looking for a fun cultural activity this is a great option!!

    Perfume Making Workshop review

    This is the best experience ever! Ali was amazing! And he had nicknames for everyone; it was so awesome! They are so knowledgable and so so patient. Sadly I didn’t have time to make a second bottle. That’s how amazing this experience was: I wanted to make more scents. Getting to the place was a bit rough for my first time being in istanbul but if you’re brave, use the public transport. Don’t be afraid to walk around after as well. The cafe is in such a good place: it’s around the corner from what I’d call a promenade and it was so busy. Staff is great. Ali was great, Mustafa was gracious(because I showed up way early) and I’d totally do this again.
