Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

We really enjoyed every aspect of the activity. Great value for money and a lot of fun. All done in the time it said. I would recommend this to anyone. The only thing that could be improved is that the Europe and American plugs were provided with lamps but not British which is fine as we have adapters.

Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

It was a rainy day in Istanbul, so spirits were low, we got off the metro and went through the whining streets and alleyways, arriving at a very cosy and welcoming café. Aziz showed us to a nook, where we learned about the history of coffee. It was charming and fun and everyone should go to this workshop.

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

This activity was super chill, and a really relaxing way to spend the morning! The guides were funny, spoke excellent English to explain the steps, and left you alone to enjoy and relax the experience of choosing your designs and colours and just stepped in when you needed support or guidance. Would 1000% recommend and would do again if I were in Istanbul again!

Her şey çok güzeldi.Etkinlik çok keyifliydi ve rehber Beyza Hanım çok ilgiliydi.Sadece etkinlik alanında yan tarafta parfüm yapımı atölyesi de aynı anda yapıldı alerjimiz olduğu için biraz zorlandık tek mekân tek etkinlik daha iyi olabilirdi.

Very interesting and entertaining. The instructor was really good at English, interesting to listen to his history about the culture of coffee. I think two hours workshop was not too muchand the time flew by. At the end got very nice presents with which we can make turkish coffee at home.

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

Anfangs fand ich es schade, dass nicht genau mitgeteilt wurde, dass der Workshop im asiatischen Bereich ist. Ich fand es aber echt amüsant und interessant, dass wir eine multikulturell geprägte Gruppe waren. Wir bekamen von der Kursleiterin Tee, Kaffee, Wasser und salzige Kekse. Es hat wirklich großen Spaß gemacht und es war ein unvergesslicher Tag. Wir durften sogar im asiatischen Bereich spazieren gehen und später die Lampen abholen. Nur zum Beachten von Fluggästen: man darf die Lampen im Handgepäck im Flieger nicht mitnehmen. Wir mussten unser Handgepäck deshalb abgeben und haben die Lampen schön gepolstert, sodass sie nicht beim Hin- und Herschmeißen des Gepäcks kaputt gehen. Die Lampe an sich ist heile angekommen und sie ist echt ein Hingucker 😍. Würde es gerne nochmal machen.

The most unique activity I've ever done somewhere, I absolutely loved it! Ali gave us precious information about how perfumes are made and being able to choose from over 60 flagrances to make our own perfume made the whole experience unforgettable!
