    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    Mustafa war ein super Guide. Unfassbar freundlich und sympathisch und hat sie sehr viel Mühe gegeben (sogar bei den unfreundlichen Gästen). Wir konnten viel über den türkischen Kaffee und seine Geschichte lernen. Es war sehr informativ und hat nebenbei unfassbar viel Spaß gemacht mit Mustafa. Klare Empfehlung für jeden der während seines Besuchs 2 Stunden Zeit hat und ein bisschen was anderes als 0815 Sightseeing sucht

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    We had a fantastic day making the lamps. Staff were amazing - so helpful (sorry I can't remember the lady's name). We were met on the Europe side of the Bosphorus and escorted to the workshop - then back to the station. Excellent value and brilliant staff. Very highly recommended.

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    Taking the Turkish coffee class with Mustafa in Istanbul was an absolute highlight of our trip! Mustafa is one of those rare gems who can truly elevate your entire experience. His generosity, kindness, and professionalism are on another level. The class itself was a perfect blend of fun and informative—it’s a must if you want to uncover the secrets and authentic art of making Turkish coffee. The workshop space was cozy and charming, with a homey feel that made it even more special. Honestly, I can’t recommend this experience enough—beautiful, unique, and unforgettable!

    I enjoyed a small group workshop. Able to learn culture while social a little with the group members over Turkish tea, coffee and cookies. Host picking us up at the Europe side which is a bonus point for first time traveller. The highlight is I get to own my Turkish Lamp!

    Perfume Making Workshop review

    Really good experience. Guide was very knowledgeable about perfume making and quantities and very friendly and welcoming. 64 varied scents to try to sniff as many as you can to select the combination desired. My partner and I both love our finished products, and endless tea and biscuits are an excellent touch. One thing I would have enjoyed would be a bit of information about perfume in Istanbul, but we were fully engaged for the full two hours without this.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    L’esperienza inizia dal punto di ritiro dove la guida simpatica e gentile Himmet vi accompagna al luogo del workshop. L’attività è stata spiegata molto chiaramente da Beyzanur. Esperienza molto rilassante e divertente, accompagnata da dell’ottimo The caldo, dolci tipici e qualsiasi altra richiesta. Dopo l’attività si può sorseggiare una bevanda calda/fresca in un giardino privato riscaldato in inverno. Il tutto arredato in stile industrial, consigliato per un’attività insolita ma che riempie un pomeriggio.

    It was one of the best experiences to make our own lamps. Very tranquil environment and very good vibes with music international and local artists. The initiation in the workshop was very inspiring about the history of Turkish mosaic lamps. I would definitely recommend it and do it again! Faruk one of the owners was also very friendly and keeps tradition in the modern day in its unique way.

    Bardzo dobrze zorganizowane atrakcja. Od samego początku czyli transportu aż do końca wszystko było w porządku. Nauka parzenia kawy byłam bardzo ciekawym doświadczeniem. Naszym nauczycielem był Mustafa - bardzo dobrze poprowadził nasz kurs. Dodatkowo każdy uczestnik dostaje prezent na koniec doświadczenia. Jeżeli jesteś w Stambule to musisz tutaj przyjechać.
