    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    Nous avons adoré cet atelier ! Mustafa est un excellent hôte, très pédagogue. Il nous a transmis son savoir avec enthousiasme, et nous avons appris énormément sur l’histoire du café turc et ses traditions. La lecture des marcs de café était une expérience amusante et surprenante. L’ambiance était conviviale et chaleureuse, ce qui a rendu ce moment encore plus spécial. Nous recommandons vivement cette expérience !

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Very interesting and relaxing to make your very own lamp, our guide Ali explained everything well and was very kind and chill. Making the lamps wasn't difficult at all, and the result was incredibly beautiful. Would recommend to anyone looking for a souvenir to bring back home from istanbul, this is something truly unique!

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    This class was so fun! The guides were extremely helpful and answered all our questions. Tons of materials were provided and we had such a fun lamp to take home and remember the experience. Even if you aren’t crafty this activity is great for anyone’s first time in Istanbul. The guides were trustworthy and genuinely wanted to teach and share their culture.

    The experience was fantastic. The guides were in contact with us before the activity and rang us to offer advice when we couldn’t find the venue. It was very relaxed from start to finish. The lamps are beautiful. Highly recommend.

    Perfume Making Workshop review

    We had such a fantastic time at this workshop and we can't recommend it enough. We are a group of 4 perfume enthusiasts and we have all created a gorgeous perfume that we are very excited to unleash on the population 😄😄😄 Ali was fantastic - knowledgeable and friendly. He really made it for us. Communication and instruction was great and the price is such excellent value. If we were here longer we would definitely have booked the lamp making as this looked fabulous too. get it booked!

    Perfume Making Workshop review

    Die Atmosphäre war von Anfang an angenehm und entspannt, sodass man sich direkt wohlfühlte. Die Mitarbeiter waren sehr freundlich, äußerst kompetent und hilfsbereit. Man hatte nie das Gefühl, dass einem eine bestimmte Meinung aufgezwungen wurde, es wurde viel Wert auf persönliche Kreativität gelegt. Die bereitgestellten Materialien waren qualitativ hochwertig und in ausreichender Menge vorhanden. Besonders beeindruckend war die Vielfalt der Düfte. Dazu gab es detaillierte und sehr interessante Erklärungen, sodass man nicht nur einfach herumprobierte, sondern tatsächlich viel über die Welt der Düfte lernte. Es wurde sichergestellt, dass jeder genügend Zeit hatte, verschiedene Kombinationen auszuprobieren. Die Tipps der Experten kamen zur richtigen Zeit und halfen dabei, das eigene Parfüm Schritt für Schritt zu perfektionieren. Zudem war das Miteinander mit den anderen Teilnehmern sehr angenehm. Am Ende durfte jeder sein eigenes Parfüm in einer großzügigen 50-ml-Flasche mitnehmen.

    Mustafa was amazing. We explored together the history of turkish coffee and made one on our own. He explained the entire process with patience and assisted us on every step. Cherry on top (we learned the fortunetelling tecnique which was very fun!).
