    Create a signature scent in Istanbul review

    I did this solo on a trip to Istanbul and it turned out to be one of my favorite experiences of the whole trip. The highlight is getting to create your own custom scent from scratch — you're guided through different fragrance notes, and by the end you walk away with a perfume that's genuinely yours. I loved how hands-on it was. Highly recommend!

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    Very interesting and thorough! She went into the history of coffee in Turkey and had interesting stories to share. The fortune telling seemed to be a bit of an add on to the end and wasn’t the best, but still worth taking the coffee making workshop. The business was very busy and well run, I also took a perfume making workshop here which I enjoyed as well. I’d recommend this workshop to others.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Nous avons apprécié cette activité, ma fille, mon frère et moi-même. Nous avons facilement trouvé le lieu. Les explications étaient claires. Le matériel adéquat. Nous avons même eu droit à des explications en français (pour ma fille de 4 ans et demi, c'était parfait). Il est préférable, si vous avez un peu de temps, de laisser vos lampes sécher sur place (après l'activité) pour revenir la chercher 2h00 (ou plus) plus tard. Je recommande cette activité qui est un vrai souvenir (fait main, par soi).

    Create a signature scent in Istanbul review

    This workshop was an amazing and unique experience for me! As a first-timer, I learned a lot about perfumes and how they’re created. The whole process was fascinating, and the best part was designing my own signature scent. The host was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive she really helped me create a fragrance that felt personal and special. I truly enjoyed every moment and would highly recommend this experience!

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Eşimin doğum gününde ona sürpriz yapma amacıyla götürdüm gayet keyifli bir etkinlikti. 3 saat biraz uzun gelmişti ama nasıl başlayıp bittiğini anlamadık çok eğlendik güzel bir anı oldu. Ağırlıklı yabancı olduğu için etkinliğin ana dili ingilizce ancak bilmeyenlere Türkçe yardımcı oluyolar açıklıyolar. Biz de o bilmeyenlerdendik :D

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Die Gruppe war bunt gemischt, und es hat großen Spaß gemacht, neue Leute kennenzulernen. Der Raum war authentisch gestaltet und hat die Kreativität angeregt. Der Guide war freundlich und zuvorkommend. Sie hat uns einen interessanten Einblick in die Historie gegeben und uns gleichzeitig praktisch sehr gut angeleitet. Es gab eine große Auswahl an Mosaiksteinen sowie Vorlagen mit verschiedenen Mustern für jeden Geschmack. Selbst für Anfänger war der Workshop dadurch sehr gut geeignet und ein rundum schönes Erlebnis. Das Beste ist, dass man das fertige Ergebnis – die Lampen – direkt vor Ort sehen und anschließend schön verpackt mitnehmen kann.
