Misafir Defteri

This was such a lovely sweet activity! I wish we had booked all the classes that were offered. Fun and unique

Amazing experience with Mustafa! We met at the Sirkeci meeting point outside the Hafiz Mustafa promptly, before travelling across the Bosphorus to the Asian side at Uskudar which is a fantastic neighbourhood, full of independant, small family run businesses. It seemed like Istanbul's Art District which we were happy to stick around after our experience. Mustafa was incredibly knowledgeable and took his time to answer questions throughout, made the experience fun as well as the whole team's hospitality throughout. The only negative (which is a very small one) is that the Glass Mosaic Workshop takes place on the table next to us and there was a particularly loud group where at times I couldn't hear Mustafa's presentation or guidance. Nonetheless I left with a big smile on my face (not just because of the strong coffee!) but learned something new and important with the skill of making a Traditional Turkish Coffee. Thank you Mustafa!

Fantastic teacher Mustafá and great environment.

Th instructors Ali and Eda was so kind, friendly and patient! And super helpful! Such a fun activity to spend time in Istanbul! Would do it again :)

Absolutely loved this – the venue and host were incredibly welcoming! Highly recommend!

The people was absolutely amazing and so helpful, definitely recommend and will come again

Ходили на мастер класс с детьми 8 и 11 лет. Все остались довольны! Было не скучно, уютно и увлекательно всем. Лампы получились на хорошем уровне у всех, не то что бывает - у взрослых аккуратно, у детей кривовато-у всех вышло отлично! Рекомендую, не пожалеете!

Mustafa was a great host and made the whole experience very interactive and fun, great experience and would really recommend it as we learned so much! Thank you.

Amazing workshop with Mustafa! We learned so much about Turkey and its traditions, and got to understand how coffee is an important part of friendship. Recommend 100%. Thank you so much!

A fun activity!

I can just recommend to attend this activity! I took this workshop togerher with my daughter (13) and both of us had a perfect afternoon. Our guide/instructor, Ali was simply perfect: kind, informative, very communicative (you can reach him online anytime), caring and patient (even with us who unfortunately were significantly late😁). We got all info in advance and helped us how to get to the workshop. The work with the lamps was enjoyable and a huge success, watching all the other works, everybody could find her/his personality in the process. It is suitable for everyone, even for kids, help and good mood are guaranteed. Thank you! Good to know: whenever you take any programs in Istambul take the advice of your guide and check the traffic as travel time can change minute by minute!

Me ha encantado. Lo recomiendo encarecidamente.

Glass painting was excellent. Teacher was wonderful.

Very good and interactive!

We really enjoyed the experience! Thank you very much! Now we have beautiful memory at home about our trip to Istanbul. Нам очень понравился этот опыт! Большое спасибо! Теперь у нас дома остались прекрасные воспоминания о нашей поездке в Стамбул.

This was a five star experience in every way! Mustafa is just amazing with his kindness, knowledge, instruction, and hospitality. it's a coffee making workshop but I also learned so much about the history and culture of coffee! 100% would recommend in a group or solo! ♥️

Ήταν φανταστική εμπειρία μάθαμε ωραία πράγματα ,ο Μουσταφά ήταν άψογος ευγενεστατος υπομονετικός μας εξήγησε τα πάντα και είχαμε και τα δωράκια μας στο τέλος της δραστηριότητας

Ali was a great host and mini tour guide as he took the group from the European side by the Galata bridge to the Asian side to his business. He was great in providing a fun atmosphere, and the lamp creation was excellent. A cool expérience for all.

Я в восторге от этого мастер-класса! Теперь у меня есть свой Турецкий светильник! Все понятно, доступно, интересно и легко. Очень заботливые и доброжелательные организаторы! Спасибо!

Мне очень понравился мастер-класс и его ведущий! Было много интересной информации про кофе, его историю и значимость для Турции, как его готовить правильно по-турецки и зачем дают стакан с водой к кофе. Спасибо!

The experience was amazing, they are super friendly and attentive, me and my daughter enjoy this workshop so much that we want to do it again

I participated alone, but it was a very meaningful experience. I would definitely like to try this again when I come to Turkey. I would also like to recommend this experience to friends who are visiting Turkey.

It’s a small group activity in a nice Cafe setting. The organiser would got in touch to give clear options of accessing the venue. Our instructor Mustafa is very nice and explains everything clearly and guides us through the whole process. Drinks and refreshments are on the house and unlimited. You can use the motif provided or unleash your creativity and in the end you got to take home your beautiful design as well as a nicely printed certificate. There is also a stained glass painting workshop and I would definitely try that when we visit Istanbul the next time. Thank you Mustafa and all the lovely staff!

Ali was an amazing instructor. He was kind, engaging, funny, and patient. We’d highly recommend going to this workshop. Plus, the kittens were an added bonus.
