Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

Прекрасные, креативные ребята-организаторы. Очень уютное, атмосферное место, чем-то напомнило питерские заведения с атмосферой "для своих". Интересная подача материала и приятная беседа. Очень рекомендую к посещению! З.Ы. Фото своего "шедевра" выкладывать не буду, потому что такую красоту не каждый способен оценить :)))

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

A fun experience! They were great at delivering directions to the meet up spot and transportation was very quick. The workshop was awesome, they have a cafe inside. The class was real fun plus the unlimited tea made it even better. I would recommend it. The lamps are very easy to transport through the airport as well, don’t worry they bubble wrap the lamps.

We loved the entire experience. Appreciated our guide meeting us on the European side and taking us to the workshop on the Asian side. Our group all made beautiful lamps and had a very enjoyable time together. The tea, coffee and snacks was an added bonus. Highly recommend this workshop.

Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

В какой-то мере мне повезло - у меня был персональный мастер-класс. Сам процесс варки занимает не так много времени, в основном это рассказ о кофейной культуре в Турции, но надо отметить рассказ занимательный. Да и в целом, Азиз приятный собеседник. Рекомендую!

Perfume Making Workshop review

Ali was super funny and informative! He KNOWS his stuff and made it really easy to understand how to create your perfume. The assortment of scents has something for everyone. The unlimited coffee and teas and cookies were so nice. We love our perfumes and can’t wait to try them. We also did their Turkish coffee and fortune telling class and that was such a precious event. Aziz really knew his stuff and we learned so much about Turkish culture. We love this place and would recommend you take any class with them.

Hayatımda yaşadığım en güzel tecrübelerden biriydi. Gerek çalışanları (özellikle Beyza hanım) gerek atmosferi gerek diğer katılımcılarla olan etkileşim olsun gerçekten inanılmazdı. Kesinlikle herkesin tatması gereken bir tecrübe. Çalışan arkadaşlara teşekkür ederiz. :)))

Wir haben den Workshop super spontan gebucht und es war die beste Entscheidung und eines unserer Istanbul Highlights. Die Leute waren alle sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Wirklich alle Lampen sind wunderschön geworden und wir freuen uns ein selbstgemachtes Stück aus Istanbul mitnehmen zu können. Preis Leistung top. Insgesamt 10/10 sehr empfehlenswert!!!!! Danke ✨✨✨

Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

Потрясающий мастер-класс, Махмут потрясающе и интересно все рассказывал и показывал. Гадание на кофейной гуще просто в самое ♥️ сердечко, все было очень душевно. После мастер-класса почувствовали себя настоящими знатоками турецкого кофе. Подойдет людям, которые любят этот напиток всей душой и к тому же интересуются историей. Обязательно приходите чтобы узнать о турецких традициях и гостеприимстве.

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

The workshop was a fun experience and it was cool to design your own lamp. Important to note that the workshop was in Üsküdar NOT Fatih - Fatih was just the meeting point. Would be great if that was mentioned in the description before booking since it's not exactly convenient if you're not already staying in the area and you need to factor in extra time to get to and from. Also would be great if there was more staff to support the workshop, especially wrapping up the lamps in the end so we could all leave soon after the workshop and not have to wait around for 30+ minutes.
