    Perfume Making Workshop review

    This perfume workshop in Istanbul was an absolute gem. From the moment we arrived, Ali made the experience feel personal, creative, and incredibly enjoyable. His knowledge of fragrance was amazing – he shared so many useful tips about how different notes interact, and helped guide us through building something truly unique. Ali struck the perfect balance between being hands-on and letting us explore our own style. He offered great suggestions at just the right moments, and his passion for scent really came through. The space was lovely, and the whole atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. Taking home a 50ml bottle of my own custom perfume was such a special touch – something I’ll always associate with this trip. If you’re in Istanbul and looking for a meaningful, hands-on experience, this is it.

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    Very informative and fun activity! We even had goodies to take home. Coffee was delicious and the history is really interesting. The workshop is located on the Asian side though, so make sure to plan this ahead. However it's only 10 minutes walk from the ferry port and easy to navigate. Well worth the value and fun! Bonus point for the team - they were amazing!

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Realizzare la nostra lampada a mosaico con piccoli pezzi di vetro colorato è stata un’esperienza davvero piacevole e rilassante. Lo consiglio vivamente come attività da fare in famiglia: i bambini la adorano, e anche gli adulti si divertono moltissimo! È stato bello vedere persone di tutte le età sedute ai tavoli, immerse nella propria creazione, ciascuno con il proprio stile. Mia figlia di 10 anni era fierissima della sua lampada, e anche noi siamo rimasti colpiti da quanto sia stata coinvolta ed entusiasta. Una bellissima attività che unisce creatività, manualità e un pizzico di magia: da non perdere!

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Durch Beyzanur wurde die Stimmung ganz schnell angenehm. Beyzanur war sehr hilfsbereit, sympathisch und einfach total nett zu uns. Es war sehr interessant erstmal über die geschichtlichen Hintergründe zu erfahren. Uns hat die Location auch sehr gefallen, es sah sehr gemütlich aus und die alte türkische Musik hat alles noch magischer gemacht. Die Zeit verging wie im Flug, wir würden das jederzeit nochmal machen. Vielen Dank nochmal für das schöne Erlebnis!

    Ha Isztambulban jársz, feltétlenül el kell menned erre az eseményre. Nagyon különleges 2 órában volt részem, a házigazda nagyon figyelmes volt mindenkivel és rengeteg, de szó szerint rengeteg illat közül tudsz választani. Nagyon köszönöm négyszer innen is a lehetőséget.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    The reason this missed a star is because it is a open cafe and while we were having the lamp workshop, another parfume workshop took place just behind us, and cafe visitors chat as well so it was disturbing. I went to parfume workshop at another place and it was much more peaceful so we enjoyed it much more
