    Esperienza veramente bella e caratteristica. Non la solita cosa da turisti! Tutto ben organizzato, guida molto competente e simpatica. Ve lo consiglio anche per la lampada che gratuitamente potrete portar via. Da provare

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    A Must-Do Tour: Incredible Guides and Experience Our Mount Batur sunrise jeep tour was nothing short of magical, and we owe it all to our amazing guides and drivers, Masa and Darta. From start to finish, the experience was seamless, exciting, and full of unforgettable moments. The sunrise view itself was breathtaking, but what made this tour stand out was the thrill of riding in the jeep. Masa and Darta made it even more special by letting us stand at the back of the jeep during part of the journey, which gave us the most thrilling and unique perspective of the stunning volcanic landscapes. The visit to Black Rock—part of the active volcano—was another highlight of the tour. The scenery was surreal and felt like stepping into another world. Our guides were full of knowledge and stories, enhancing the experience and making us feel safe and cared for the entire experience What really touched us was how wonderful Masa and Darta were with our kids. They were incredibly patient, fun

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    Mustafa, wow incredible teacher Hope I can make Turkish coffee like him, certainly I will based on his guidance what he taught over 2 hours. It’s not limited to Turkish coffee but I also learnt a lot about culture, history and the way Mustafa explained was incredible. Highly recommended and would love to learn Perfume making and other topics which are present at the same place.

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    Una experiencia genial y diferente para hacer en Estambul. Se aprende mucho de la historia del café en Turquía y a preparar el café turco. Pero todo esto fue gracias a Mustafa que fue un encanto desde el principio. Sus explicaciones fueron geniales y me hizo sentir como si estuviera tomando café en casa. Espero poder volver y visitarles de nuevo.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Very friendly and kind staff. It presents a little history about mosaic and then gives you everything you need to become a mosaic artist. The only minus I had is that the workplace is a little cramped, and it is better to sit at the edge of the work table or ensure that you go to the toilet before sitting down at the table. The experience was very interesting and creative. It is really worth creating your own souvenir.

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    Absolutamente recomendo a todos. Aziz é um ótimo guia e conhece tudo muito bem. O workshop é muito completo, aprendi não só a preparar o café desde o início, moendo os grãos, mas também toda a história do café na Turquia. Adorei também o workshop de adivinhação, é muito impressionante como aprendemos a identificar e ler as imagens. E para fechar com chave de ouro, ganhei uma xícara lindíssima e os acessórios para preparar um café turco em casa.

    Perfume Making Workshop review

    j'ai réservé un créneau a 9h, je reçois la confirmation, mais 45 min avant la séance, plusieurs coup de téléphone des prestataires, pour déplacer la séance prétextant un rendez-vous personnel, se que je peux bien comprendre (mais pas a la dernière minute), et enfaite c'était juste pour remplir leur salle car trop peu de réservation a 9h, nous étions tous content de venir à cette atelier, mais très déçu de devoir déplacer notre rendez-vous alors que nous étions déjà sur place.
