    Perfume Making Workshop review

    改善する点はありません。 私は日本人ですが、英語ができない日本人にはわからない点があるかもしれません。 運良く私はマンツーマンでの香水作りでした。 アリさんがおすすめしてくれた、イスタンブールのスポットは全てよかったです。アリさんは日本に行ったこともあり、英語もしくはトルコ語ができれば、日本の話もできます。迎えに来てくれた男の子もとても頭が良く、楽しくお話ができました。 出来上がった香水も満足です。また行きたいです!

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    We had the most wonderful time at this Turkish coffee-making and fortune-telling workshop. The café was absolutely charming, setting the perfect atmosphere for the experience. Our guide Mustafa was the sweetest and made the whole session feel warm and personal. He was extremely patient with us through the process. We learned so much about the art of making Turkish coffee and the traditions behind it - it was genuinely fascinating! The fortune telling was also fun. We received some lovely goodies to take home, which was such a thoughtful touch. Overall, it was a fantastic and lovely experience that I’d 10/10 recommend to anyone looking to dive into Turkish culture in a brew-tiful way.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Beyzanur Kurtuluş was an amazing host I like her hospitality throughout I had to travel from the European side of Istanbul and her accomplice came all the way to pick us up and also ensure that I got dropped safely. The whole activity lasted for about three hours and was definitely value for money in terms of the food and snacks and also the take away lamp.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    BE ADVISED THAT THIS WORKSHOP TAKES PLACE IN ÜSKÜDAR (not Sirceci). This workshop was a great value for the money I paid. It was fun and engaging and leaves you with a nice, easily portable souvenir at the end of the workshop. The only thing I did not like was that the workshop was adverstised as taking place in Sirceci on European Side. I specifically booked my accomodation closeby so I dont lose any time in the morning and can get there stressfree by 9 AM. My departure flight happened to be the same day. After confirmation, it turned out that the workshop was taking place in Üsküdar on the Asian side, which made me lose 60min back and forth and cost me about 2 euros in transportation fees. Considering my departure flight was in the afternoon, I was left stressed and couldnt enjoy the experience so much unfortunately. Such a pity. I hope that the work shop organizer will learn from it and inform people in advance so they can organize themselves properly.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Totul a fost minunat, gazdă foarte primitoare, ne-a îndrumat pe tot parcursul atelierului, iar la sfârșit a fost totul verificat și retușat (dacă a fost cazul) de către gazda Nu vă faceți griji în legătură cu punctul de întâlnire (este ușor de găsit), va veni un ghid să vă preia până în USKUDAR la atelier Nota 10 ***** recomand cu încredere Urmăriți activitățile de la această gazdă deoarece are și activități cu crearea parfumului dorit și atelier cu și despre cafea (eu nu am știut și am rezervat în altă parte)

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    100% recommendable. They offer to pick youup at Farih and drivinh to Üsküdar as a group (even paid your metro ticket). I went with an earlier group bc I was earlier at the pick up point and got free tea at the coffee shop till my workshop began with my actually group. The ambience was super chill and nice. Our guide was super well informed, kind, funny, patient. He took time for the fortune telling of every person in the group and recommend so much places in Istanbul.

    Me and my 8 year old daughter spent some wonderful time at this workshop! Amazing girl artist Beyzanur met us at the European side of Istanbul ant took to the workshop. It took about 15-20 minutes to get to the place. Creating a lamp is a very interesting and satisfying process great for all, kids and adults! I sincerely advice everyone to go and try this, you will have a wonderful time and a great handmade souvenirs to bring home and remember your trip! The atmosphere at the studio is amazing! 😊♥️🍀

    Tökéletes program ha Isztambulban jársz. Nem csak kikapcsol de hatalmas élmény hallgatni a mozaikok történetét és közben elkészíteni a saját egyedi lámpásod.
