Perfume Making Workshop review

This is the best experience ever! Ali was amazing! And he had nicknames for everyone; it was so awesome! They are so knowledgable and so so patient. Sadly I didn’t have time to make a second bottle. That’s how amazing this experience was: I wanted to make more scents. Getting to the place was a bit rough for my first time being in istanbul but if you’re brave, use the public transport. Don’t be afraid to walk around after as well. The cafe is in such a good place: it’s around the corner from what I’d call a promenade and it was so busy. Staff is great. Ali was great, Mustafa was gracious(because I showed up way early) and I’d totally do this again.

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 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.
