Perfume Making Workshop review

Ha Isztambulban jársz, feltétlenül el kell menned erre az eseményre. Nagyon különleges 2 órában volt részem, a házigazda nagyon figyelmes volt mindenkivel és rengeteg, de szó szerint rengeteg illat közül tudsz választani. Nagyon köszönöm négyszer innen is a lehetőséget.

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

The reason this missed a star is because it is a open cafe and while we were having the lamp workshop, another parfume workshop took place just behind us, and cafe visitors chat as well so it was disturbing. I went to parfume workshop at another place and it was much more peaceful so we enjoyed it much more

Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

The presentation, small group size, hands on activity and tastings, plus the cultural context of the art of drinking coffee and telling fortunes was excellent. Huge bonus were the implements to make the Turkish coffee at home!

Our host Mustafa was very knowledgeable and entertaining. He made sure everyone in the workshop was comfortable and made the effort to get to know each other. It was a cosy environment and everything was provided with unlimited complimentary tea and biscuits. We really enjoyed making our own perfumes including the children. I’d highly recommend it while in Istanbul.

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

The workshop is an incredible experience. The guide gives you the option to meet if you’re on the European side so you don’t get lost getting there. We were served tea, coffee and biscuits. Workshop is easy to follow, all materials are included and you get to bring such a fun souvenir home and they even give you a certificate at the end. 10/10!

Perfume Making Workshop review

My friends and I were absolutely delighted with the time we spent together at the perfume-making workshop. We managed to create unique scents tailored to our personal preferences, and just as our instructor explained, after a few days the perfumes smell absolutely divine! The guidance we received throughout the workshop was incredibly helpful and made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. I highly recommend this as a lovely way to spend time with friends — over coffee, creativity, and beautiful fragrances!

Activité que je recommande ++++, moment de partage convivial avec des personnes de différentes origines . L’accueil des représentants de l’atelier était incroyable (du point de rendez-vous jusqu’à la remise de la lampe.) J’ai déjà envie de refaire l’atelier et partager à nouveau ce moment extraordinaire.

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

A ritkábban látogatott ázsiai oldalon volt a program, így a város ezen oldalát is láthattuk. A workshop helyszíne nagyon hangulatos, ahol kedves kiszolgálást kaptunk. Maga a workshop egy nagyon élvezetes, kreatív tevékenység. Az oktató nagyon figyelmes és segítőkész.
