    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    Mustafa is a great host we pre booked our workshops and fortunate to go back to another workshop with them, the whole experience was whole some and it was a birthday surprise to my boy friend who love to learn new skills. It is definitely a great way to spend time, learn and explore the host are also friendly and get you to the workshop location. We have build a new friendship and are looking forward to visit Fabrika when we go back to IST

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    The cafe itself was popular with locals and extremely atmospheric. There was a hubbub that made it feel really fun. Mustafa and his team are all young people full of enthusiasm which is really infectious; he brought out the best in all of us and we classmates became BFFs for 3hrs. Making the lamps was almost an aside! But making those lamps was a triumph for us all and I’m proud to display mine at home. This was THE BEST day of my Istanbul trip without a doubt. I’ll be back to do the perfume class, or maybe the painting class. 10/10.

    Excelente actividad. Dos opciones para llegar desde el lado europeo un guia te lleva d entero (ticket incluido) hasta la actividad que será del lado Asiático. Materiales, explicación y ambiente acogedor. Resultado de una lámpara creada por ti mismo que te llevas para casa lista para usar y recordar tu viaje a Estambul. Recomendado!

    Perfume Making Workshop review

    Uns wurde erklärt, wie sich ein Parfüm zusammensetzt und wir konnten unser eigenes erstellen. Die Erklärung war auf Englisch, jedoch musste ich es meiner Tochter übersetzen und hatte kaum Zeit dafür. Es wurde alles sehr schnell erklärt. wir wurden am Treffpunkt abgeholt, jedoch mussten wir die Rückreise alleine antreten.

    Perfume Making Workshop review

    It was an amazing experience, we learned to make our own perfumes. We were instructed clearly about the theory of perfume making and we experimented by smelling the over 60 perfume oils they had and try to make our own combinations. The instruction also gave each participant special attention and advice on how to make a perfume we actually liked. For the end result, we both ended up loving our perfumes and we could take them home. Amazing value for money Another note: check out their other workshops , they are all INCREDIBLE

    Perfume Making Workshop review

    Amazing time spent on a rainy morning with Ali at Istanbul Workshop! The perfume making experience was incredibly unique, special and well organized. A group of us waited at the meeting point before heading to the workshop on the Asian side of Istanbul. It is held in the outdoor area of a very cute coffee shop, creating a wonderful ambiance, and they also host lamp making and coffee workshops! Unlimited tea, coffee and sweets as advertised. Ali was very friendly and knowledgeable, and he patiently explained the components of a perfume and recommendations for ratios. I came out with a personalized perfume that smells divine and is very me. Couldn’t be happier with experience; definitely recommend and hope to be back!!

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Beyzanur was amazing from the start till the end. She explained the history behind it all and made sure that we knew what we were doing by explaining everything step by step. On top of that all the snack and drinks provided, all you had to do was ask and within 2 minutes it was brought to you. I cannot recommend this activity enough if you’re in Istanbul. If you’re worried about getting there, they will meet you on the European side to take you over to the Asian side which is one less thing to worry about. Everyone there is so nice and friendly, this made our trip. Beyzanur even gave us recommendations of where to go and eat on this side and it did not disappoint.
