    Perfume Making Workshop review

    A great experience to develop your own unique scent that lasts very long, if you're into fragrances. Mustafa is very friendly, and does a great job of leading the workshop and explaining everything in detail. The vibe is relaxed and it's also a good activity to meet other tourists and locals, potentially making new friends. A must do if you're visiting Istanbul.

    Perfume making was great, I enjoyed the atmosphere and being able to do something interactive on our holiday. Good way to spend time winding down the holiday. I would recommend Mustafa and the team to fellow travellers.

    Superbe activité !! Le staff est vraiment sympa, explique bien, le seul petit défaut est qu'il n'y a pas assez de temps entre deux sessions et on se sens un peu poussés, on ne peut pas vraiment prendre le temps... Mais vraiment génial, belle expérience, de beaux souvenirs. Merci :)

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Schöne Örtlichkeit vom Workshop, gute Erklärung und Hilfestellung. Man konnte alles von Softdrinks über Tee oder Mokka bekommen und auch so oft wie man wollte. Dazu gab es kleine cracker. Wir waren 7 Kursteilnehmer wobei die Geschwindigkeit von der Wahl der Mosaik Steine bis zum bekleben des Glases variierte sodass die Trainerin die weiteren Schritte seperat gezeigt hat. Mir hat es sehr gut gefallen und ich würde nochmal einen Workshop machen sollte ich wieder in Istanbul sein.

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    A Must-Do in Istanbul! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This was hands down one of the best experiences we had in Istanbul! Exploring the Asian side of the city was incredible, and our guide, Mustafa, was absolutely phenomenal—knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging. The entire experience was well-organized and full of surprises, including thoughtful gifts at the end. We loved learning the art of Turkish coffee making, and my love for coffee has only deepened! I’ll be using the Turkish coffee technique everywhere now. Amazing company, great value—highly recommend this to anyone visiting Istanbul!

    Es hat uns super gut gefallen. Die Kursleiterin Eda war sehr nett und hat uns viel erklärt und es gab auch eine kleine Türkisch-Nachhilfe obendrauf. Tolle Erfahrung, sehr empfehlenswert. Nebenbei eine sehr tolle Erinnerung die Glasscheibe.

    Perfume Making Workshop review

    Great way to spend time in Turkey. Definitely would bring friends here on next visit to Turkey and add some of the other workshops back to back. I'm not a coffee drinker and was introduced to a coffee that I will definitely purchase. There are hundreds of different combinations possible for the perfume you choose to make. You are given a breakdown of what goes into the perfume then you have an hour to smell many scents and decide what will go into your unique blend. I also met the guide at the meeting spot on the European side which was nice otherwise I probably would not have taken the subway by myself and it was an extra nice touch to have that as an option. Commutation with everyone before trip was excellent.

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    Everything you need to know about Turkish coffee, entertaining and interestingly explained by Fatih. Once classic and a flavoured version with milk and pistachio. Delicious! When reading coffee grounds, fatih may not be able to foresee the future, but very good insights into the now and what could come. You just have to want it. thank you for the Experience
