    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Wir wurden pünktlich am Treffpunkt abgeholt, der Workshop war wundervoll! Ali hat sich Zeit genommen, uns alles zu erklären und wir haben sehr schöne Lampen gemacht. Wir waren eine kleine Gruppe, sodass wir uns nett unterhalten konnten. vielen Dank für die tolle Erfahrung! Es lohnt sich!

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    My partner and I loved this experience. The workshop was quite structured and easy to understand. The host was very patient and hospitable and made sure that everything is clear. The coffee and snacks were quite good. And this whole experience gives you unique and nice vibes. During the workshop, you feel relaxed and superb about doing something creative. We were very happy about our lamps, that's truly a splendid experience and the memories of the workshop and Istanbul will be with you forever. Although, our host was late, there is only positive things in the end.

    Это одно из самых приятных занятий который вы можете выбрать в Стамбуле. Организаторы молодцы, все продумали и предусмотрели. Очень приятная кофейня , где еще можно перекусить, пока ждете чтобы ваш светильник подсох. Большое спасибо Азизу! Все было наивысшем уровне!!!

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Paja oli todella hauska. Meillä oli vaikeuksia löytää paikka, koska seurasimme GetYourGuiden ohjeita ja olisi pitänyt seurata sähköpostissa järjestäjältä saamiamme ohjeita. Pajan ohjaaja oli mukava ja avulias. Saimme tehdä omat mosaiikkikuviot lamppuihin vapaasti, mosaiikkipaloja oli paljon valittavana. Sai tehdä valmiin mallin tai oman tahdon mukaan. Lampuista tuli kauniita. Teetä, vettä ja kahvia sai juoda. Mukava kahvila muutenkin.

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    It was truly a most delightful, educational and fun experience - there is something for everyone. From learning about the history of Turkish coffee, to grinding the beans for your brew, to reading your fortune, it is a thorough and engaging workshop. Ali, our tutor, is very knowledgeable and catering for all guests. And his colleagues are kind and generous, enriching the experience. Highly recommend !

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    Wir waren nur zu zweit, trotzdem oder gerade daher haben wir sehr viel über die türkische Kaffeekultur gelernt, alles in einem schönen, modernen, lockeren und offenen Setting. Wunderschöne Location und dazu unglaublich höfliche, freundliche und engagierte Mitarbeiter. Es geht weit mehr um den Kaffee als um das Wahrsagen. Dadurch bleibt der Workshop ausgewogen und macht allen Spaß. Eine absolute Empfehlung. Wir sind selbstständig an den Veranstaltungsort gereist, unser Guide hat sich dabei ausführlich versichert, dass wir keine Hilfe benötigen. Wir sind mehr als zufrieden !!! :)

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Really great activity to do while in turkey. Advice: make sure you look at some ready made lanterns in the bazaar before you go. We left space between tiles and would’ve looked better without spaces. Host was a lovely lady and very good with my 6 year old son. Only small niggle is the lamp was smaller than I was expecting. But would’ve cost more if had they been bigger so don’t mind.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Ali war mehr als zuvorkommend und freundlich, der Workshop war von Anfang bis Ende gut organisiert, toll gestaltet und verständlich aufgebaut. Ein MUSS für alle kreativen Menschen :) die Ergebnisse werden wundervoll, auch bei Motiven, bei denen man zuvor unsicher war. Das Angebot ist mehr als günstig und sein Geld absolut wert. Eine herzliche Empfehlung 🤗 Wer schlecht zu Fuß ist sollte die Option wählen selbst (zB mit dem Taxi) anzureisen, wenn man sich auf dem europäischen Teil abholen lässt muss man ein kleines Stück (ca. 4km) mit dem Guide zurücklegen. In unserer Gruppe hat der Guide aber auch viel Rücksicht auf eine Teilnehmerin mit Krücken genommen.

    We had an amazing experience led by Benjamin.. he collected us from the European side and took us to his workshop area on the Asian side. He was very friendly and approachable and happy to answer any questions we had. We had a nice wander around and lunch nearby and then collected our lamps and made our own way back to the European side. Very relaxed and calm atmosphere to have some creative fun and a wonderful personal souvenir and memory to take home. Thank you so much Benjamin!

    Здравствуйте! Хотела бы поблагодарить организаторов за очень интересный мастер-класс. У нас была большая компания из 7 человек. Мы сделали подарок-сюрприз нашему другу. Все материалы были подготовлены к нашему приходу. Нам все подробно рассказали и показали. Три часа пролетели незаметно. Мы все получили огромное удовольствие от процесса. Будем вспоминать этот день и любоваться подарком, сделанным своими руками. Фонарик очень надежно упаковали и мы без проблем привезли его домой.

    Ходила в экскурсию с дочкой (15 лет). Мы остались очень довольны! Создали два красивых фонарика своими руками и привезли их домой в качестве сувениров! Сам мастер-класс завораживает! Уютная и атмосферная мастерская, приятный ведущий! Нас окружили вниманием и дружелюбием! От всего сердца рекомендую этот мастер-класс!

    Fantastic experience. The hosts were super helpful and informative. You can either stay in the cafe as the glue sets or wander the local area and grab a bite to eat or do a little shopping. Would really recommend this experience as we got to take a handmade souvenir back home that reminds us of our trip.
