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

Fatih was very knowledgeable, charismatic and showed us the wealth of Turkish coffee tradition! We did not only try to make our own coffee but also learned a lot about culture. Got also presents to remember as a gift. Very thoughtful and cozy workshop! 🍀

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.

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!

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.
