    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Me and my sister had the most wonderful morning at Istanbul Workshops where we made our very own mosaic lamps! An amazing experience to be creative, learn more about the culture and make your very own souvenir. During you are provided with real Turkish tea and coffee! We want to thank Esma and Mustafa for being so kind during this fun experience! Our lamps turned out amazing even though it was our first time doing mosaic. Definitely a unique and recommended experience! Kind regards, Your new Dutch friends, Dulce and Lúcia

    One of the most fun workshops ever! Very friendly team and the host of the workshop, Mustafa, made the whole experience so fun! We got to make our own lamp from scratch and keep it as a wonderful souvenir. A cherished experience 😌

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Pretty easy to find. Our host was very helpful and in contact frequently before our arrival. We were in a group of 8 and setting was really pretty. Lots of bead colours and patterns to choose from. There is also a cafe with lots of choice. After the lamps were completed, we were told to pick them up in a few hours to allow them to dry. Also received a completion certificate. Amazing experience that I’ll definitely do again when next in Istanbul.

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    My husband and I did this workshop together during our stay in Istanbul. It was amazing!! We had an incredible time, learned so much, and cannot get over how friendly, helpful, accommodating, and knowledgeable the guides were. The staff were all so profession and nice! Thank you for a great memory!!

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    все просто здорово встретили, проводили до места, показали, рассказали об истории создания, и самое захватывающее: это сам процесс. конечно можно воспользоваться готовыми трафаретами, но можно и самому создавать свой дизайн, 3 часа пролетают как миг, затем оказывается еще и вручается сертификат. рекомендую для посещения, не пожалеете

    Great workshop, all involved were very helpful and knowledgeable and welcomed everyone. Service was second to none, would advise everyone to spend a morning in the workshop then venture out onto the Asian side of Istanbul. Mustafa the host was great and friendly along with the rest of the team.

    Traditional Stained Glass Painting Workshop review

    Highly recommended! If you're looking for a more relaxing (but also engaging) activity in Istanbul, you should try this! Our instructor was very nice and guided us through the glass painting techniques well. She was also very helpful if we got stuck creatively. At the end of the workshop you get your glass painting framed. They all turned out really nice! There's also nothing quite like making your own souvenir from visiting Istanbul. Once again, would highly recommend!

    Traditional Stained Glass Painting Workshop review

    We had the most amazing time at this workshop - it was one of our favourite activites of our Istanbul trip! Our teacher, Eda, was incredibly skillful and patient, and helped us create amazing designs. Everyone who works there is extremely friendly and made us feel at home! We were also supplied with non stop fresh tea and coffee for the entire 3 hours! Would highly recommend this workshop.

    Заранее, ещё перед заказом, писать информацию, где будет встреча или где будет проходить мероприятие. После оплаты может оказаться, что ехать очень далеко и это не подходит

    Traditional Stained Glass Painting Workshop review

    Eda was a great teacher and was very helpful while I learned this new art form. She was patient and gave me lots of tips. She also had the cutest kitten and we had a great time talking about our lives as well. The studio has a cafe attached and you can have refreshments while doing art. One thing to note is that the art studio is actually in Uskudar. You can either meet in Fatih and travel to the studio together (30 minutes) or meet directly at the art studio.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Such a fun thing to do in Istanbul. It allows you (as a tourist) to go to the Asian side and really gives you a fun, creative way to spend an afternoon. Our hostess was really the mostest. She was nothing but helpful and friendly. I cannot recommend it enough as an offbeat activity to do. While you’re creating your design the music is great too.

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    My husband and I absolutely loved the coffee making workshop! Mustafa was fantastic, he explained everything so well and gave us so much information about the history of coffee in turkey. Communication between ourselves and Mustafa was amazing, he messaged us to ask the options to get to the workshop. I would 100% recommend this to anyone visiting Istanbul! We would definitely be coming back to do the other workshops that are offered.

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    Our coffee instructor, Mustafa, was amazing! He made us feel relaxed and pricier a lot of intruding history on Turkish coffee-makinf and fortune-tellung. We loved the experience! The coffee and Turkish delight were delicious, great conversation, and we are excited to receive the gift to help us make our own Turkish coffee at home. We had a fast time-limit to get back on our cruise ship and the tour activity providers helped expedite our experience and provided information to help us find the ferry from the Asian to European sides of Istanbul to get on our ship in time. We would highly recommend this tour!
