Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

Activité très bien organisée, intéressante et ludique. Le lieu est sympathique et les organisateurs adorables. Je regrette seulement la palette de couleurs un peu juste, notamment pour les mosaïques transparentes. J'aurais aimé faire des nuances dans une même teinte mais ce n était pas possible.

Perfume making was great fun. Relaxed and a great teacher. Our four teenagers loved it. So did the adults. Over 70 scents so lots of fun choosing the right combination

Perfume Making Workshop review

Ali Bey'e ve ekibine çok teşekkür etmek lazım. harika bir deneyimdi. tek dikkatli olunması gerek konu: özel seans olarak ödeme yaparsanız Airbnb platformu için geçerli oluyor. diğer platformlardan size katılanlar olur. ama parfümler ve o tecrübe keyif vericiydi. parfümler çok kalıcı olmazsada herzaman tekrar yaparız. 5 / 5 Stars from Germany

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

Had a lovely time! Communication from the organiser was excellent - and they also arranged to meet those on the Europe side and walk with them to the building on the Asia side. The workshop itself was well run and easy for all levels to participate in. Really pleased with this experience and would fully recommend to anyone considering it.

Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

This was a really interesting and fun workshop! It was fascinating to learn about the history and preparation of traditional Turkish coffee — and the fortune telling part using the coffee grounds was definitely a highlight. Our instructor was very friendly and welcoming, and explained everything clearly and patiently. You could tell he was passionate about what he was doing, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this workshop to anyone interested in turkish coffee, culture, or just looking for a unique experience in Istanbul.
