Traditional Stained Glass Painting Workshop review

Guiden var super sød og inspirerende og der var god stemning og ingen stress i de 3 timer workshoppen varede. Efter endt workshop kunne man gå i kvarteret eller sætte sig i gårdhaven og nyde en kop kaffe indtil maleriet var tørt. Så ialt varede workshoppen + 45-60 min mere pga tørring af materiale. Det var rigtig fint.

Overall I would say this was a great experience. The initial host was a bit absent, but the other assistant was excellent! Especially as he helped my daughter make her perfume and was great with his advice and helped me shuffle my combinations. Really enjoyed it.

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

This was by far one of the highlights of my trip! Visited Istanbul for Mum’s birthday and we are both very creative, so doing something like this was right up our alley! Great service, met our lovely guide on the Europe side, headed over to the Asian side and enjoyed every second of this. Our lamps are proudly displayed at home as reminders of our fantastic time. Thank you Mustafa.

Perfume Making Workshop review

This was a very fun experience! At first it was a little overwhelming because they have so many options! However, this was a pro because you could really customize your scent to your desire. The host and helpers were really nice and useful. I would love to do this experience again sometime.

Perfume Making Workshop review

Wir hatten kurzfristig irgendeine Beschäftigung wegen des zu heißen Wetters an diesem Tag gesucht, und sind glücklich, diese gefunden zu haben. Es war total interessant, in sich hineimzuhören, welche Düfte man mag, und diese zu kombinieren. Auch Ali, den Gastgeber, in seinem Element zu erleben, war ein Highlight. Wir können es für Teenager und Erwachsene weiterempfehlen. Erwartet nur nicht zu viel vom "Gebäck" 😄.

Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

Szuper kis program volt. A szervezés kifogástalan. A program előtt megkerestek minket, hogy Isztambul mely részéről megyünk, és ha igényeljük, akkor az európai oldalról lesz kíséretünk. A workshop helyszíne igényes volt. A program előadója lelkes és nagy tudású. Igazán élvezetes program, csak ajánlani tudom.

It's an excellent program and well run. The people are fanastic. Took one star off b/c it's outside and really hot. They try to make you comfortable but in 90+ degree it's just too hot and should be indoors.
