Perfume Making Workshop review

We had a great experiece with our host Ali. he seems very well ecuated and passionate about perfume and gave us in detail and easy to understand lesson on how to make your own perfume. the workshop was well organize. they picked u up from a location and brought u to the place, the place is beautiful, they gave u unlimited free beverages and cookies, its chill and super fun. at the end of the day u will leave with a bottle of handmade perfume with your own choosen scent, a certificate, and a great time! i will suggest anyone to do this activity again. this is great to do with your children too! they will have so much fun! thanks Ali ! we had a great time!

Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

This class was absolute amazing. We learned the history of Turkish coffee and even made out own. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. We had a meeting point then the guide lead us to a train that went under the Bosphorus to the Asian side. We took the ferry back which was so enjoyable. I highly recommend taking this class.

Perfume Making Workshop review

War eine tolle Erfahrung und Preis Leistung völlig in Ordnung. Was mir nicht gefallen hat war keine Information darüber, dass dieser Workshop auf dem Asiatischen Teil von Istanbul stattfindet. Dafür war eine Fahrt mit der U-Bahn nötig, hin war kein Problem und der Guid hat die Fahrkarte bezahlt. Zurück waren wir auf uns selbst gestellt und eine U-Bahn Karte in Istanbul zu kaufen hat sich als Ausländer als nicht so einfach erwiesen mit den angefallenen Gebühren war der Workshop doch nicht mehr so günstig. Hätte mir gewünscht diese Tatsache vor der Buchung zu wissen.

Perfume Making Workshop review

Lovely activity, clearly explained and good feedback on the scents you choose. They even helped us out with finding a Hamam after the session. If anything, ‘snacks’ were some cookies but the experience was great nonetheless. Highly recommended.

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

It was so great!! Great instruction, snacks, tea and coffee. And so many designs and colors to choose from. It was fun and my lamp is really cool. Also, if you’re on the European side, they meet you and take you to the Asian side so you don’t get lost (which was super helpful because I am perpetually lost).

Perfume Making Workshop review

Bei der Herstellung des Parfüms gab es immer wieder Hilfestellung. Uns wurde empfohlen, was wir nicht mischen sollten. Bei zwei meiner Freunden wurde dadurch das Parfüm allerdings nicht so, wie sie es wollten. Es war trotzdem sehr interessant und spaßig! Für jedes Alter!
