    Perfume Making Workshop review

    I followed this workshop with my 3 teenager boys (17, 15 and 13 years old). The class was explained in good English, which all kids could easily understand. Although we were in a rather big group (21 persons), it was still possible to have the right attention for all participants so that everybody could create their own perfume. My boys loved the explanation, and that we had more than enough time to discover the scents to select the ones for our own personal perfume. This is a workshop that I can recommend doing with a small group, and even if you are on your own, because every participant is united in making his/her perfume, it creates a natural way to connect with people from around the globe, we had e.g. people from Lituania, Kazachstan, France, Germany with us. We also saw the participants of the 2 other workshops (coffee brew workshop and lanterns making), while these activities were less attractive for my kids, it seemed they were also performed with the same professionalism.

    Super leuke activiteit! Heel fijne mensen ontmoet, goed gelachen en vooral prachtige lampjes gemaakt. Alles was goed verzorgd: water, koffie en thee mochten we steeds bijvragen. We kregen ook steeds hulp en advies bij het maken van de lampjes. Ik raad het zeker aan!

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    Ali war wirklich unglaublich! Er hat uns wundervoll an die Thematik herangeführt. Mit sehr viel Wissen und einer unnachahmlich angenehmen Art. Workshop war ein echter Volltreffer. Vor allem, da unsere Meinung nach, der türkische Kaffee eh der beste der Welt ist auch das Ambiente. Drumherum ist super. Von dem her volle Punktzahl.

    Great experience with plenty of details on perfume making. Nice activity if you have 1.5 hour to spend in Istanbul. Totally recommend a personalised perfume that you make youself. We were served tea coffee and biscuits throughout the activity.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Clear communication, there are many workshops, so the guide might be busy, but you just have to glue the lamp. We are really with our lamps, it priceworthy for 19€😌🤝 The only thing to improve is to immediatly add into the original descriptipn before booking, that the workshop is in Üsküdar and Fatih is just the meeting point.
