Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

L’esperienza inizia dal punto di ritiro dove la guida simpatica e gentile Himmet vi accompagna al luogo del workshop. L’attività è stata spiegata molto chiaramente da Beyzanur. Esperienza molto rilassante e divertente, accompagnata da dell’ottimo The caldo, dolci tipici e qualsiasi altra richiesta. Dopo l’attività si può sorseggiare una bevanda calda/fresca in un giardino privato riscaldato in inverno. Il tutto arredato in stile industrial, consigliato per un’attività insolita ma che riempie un pomeriggio.

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

It was one of the best experiences to make our own lamps. Very tranquil environment and very good vibes with music international and local artists. The initiation in the workshop was very inspiring about the history of Turkish mosaic lamps. I would definitely recommend it and do it again! Faruk one of the owners was also very friendly and keeps tradition in the modern day in its unique way.

Wonderful workshop. Our instructor Ali was very kind, he helped with all the questions we had. After we finished, we also bought home made kit. The workshop takes place on Asian side of Istanbul.

Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

Bardzo dobrze zorganizowane atrakcja. Od samego początku czyli transportu aż do końca wszystko było w porządku. Nauka parzenia kawy byłam bardzo ciekawym doświadczeniem. Naszym nauczycielem był Mustafa - bardzo dobrze poprowadził nasz kurs. Dodatkowo każdy uczestnik dostaje prezent na koniec doświadczenia. Jeżeli jesteś w Stambule to musisz tutaj przyjechać.

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 !

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!

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.

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.
