The activity offered was absolutely wonderful, and the area it's located in is beautiful. They communicate with you to determine the meeting place and then take you to the workshop. There are three meeting points depending on the area your hotel is located in. The workshop is small and tidy, and they serve Turkish tea and sweets while giving you a brief overview of Turkish mosaic history, the manufacturing process, and how to work on your own candlestick. Upon completion, you're presented with a certificate of participation and the lamp you crafted yourself. The duration is 3 hours, but 2 hours are usually sufficient. There's a small café attached to the workshop where you can wait for your piece to dry before they wrap it for protection against breakage. I highly recommend this place."

Great! Fun and engaging activity and great mentorship throughout the activity!

Thank you to Aziz for a fun evening learning the secrets of Turkish coffee! Well organised from an enthusiastic and knowledgable host. Who knew there was so much to learn about coffee?! Special thanks for helping me get back to the metro and get my travel card sorted. I will definitely recommend to friends and family to try this out if they visit Istanbul! (If I had more time I would have done the mosaic lamp workshop too!)🙏🏼

Мне очень понравилось!!! Мастер класс оставил столько положительных эмоций, я бы сходила еще раз! Спасибо нашему гиду, он очень приятный молодой человек!

Great way to spend time doing something unique

Really fun - the only downside was they were also teaching a coffee making class in the same room so a bit noisy. Loved our lamps at the end of it!

È stata un esperienza assolutamente meravigliosa. Un workshop organizzato alla perfezione e con un insegnante unico.

Es war ein super schöner Nachmittag, man wurde toll begleitet beim Gestalten der Lampen. Die Location war auch süß und verpflegt wurde man auch. Ein total schöner Workshop, nachdem man auch ein ganz tolles Andenken hat!

Amazing 🤍 Even for people not super arty the templates/inspiration made it fun and easy to do Really nice few hours! Thank you!

Would rate this activity higher if I could -- Ali's presentation and workshop was enjoyable, charming, and very very hospitable. We actually overslept our morning booking and were lucky enough to switch to the afternoon slot, but Ali and his team were very kind and understanding. 10/10 recommend, walked away with nice gifts too!

Este taller ha sido la mejor actividad que hemos hecho en Turquiaaa! Super divertido, con un personal amable y super atento. Un ambiente inigualable. Muchas opciones para decorar tus lamparas , y un precio muy asequible teniendo en cuenta la experiencia y el recuerdo que te llevas a casa 🫶 Además tienen una cafetería con muchísimas opciones de comida y muchos otros talleres artesanales que merecen la pena. Sin dudarlo repetiría mil veces 😊

Aziz was great, a lot of ineteresting info

I thought it great it was done in small groups so you could do distinctive styles and see how each turned out. The guide Aziz and the others helping to advise was incredibly useful

Amazing experience, Ali was a good host and guide, funny yet informative. We even stayed longer to take part in their lantern making class. If in Istanbul, this is a must!

Fand alles im einen super locker und hat spass gemacht. Sehr respektfoler Umgang. Sehr schöne Idee als Workshop. Können auch andere kreative Workshops machen. Danke dem Team für alles.

Cute pverall

Aleyna’ya teşekkürler

L’esperienza è molto bella, istruttiva e divertente. Ali è molto cortese e preparato quando tornerò in città sicuramente ci ritornerò

It was an interesting and fun workshop. Aziz was very helpful and has a lot of knowledge about what he's doing. We created a memorable and meaningful souvenir at the end of the workshop. I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in Turkish culture, art and history. Thank you for the memorable experience.

I had an amazing time at this workshop! I learned a lot, enjoyed the Turkish coffee, and was able to create a masterpiece I’ll cherish forever. Thank you Aleyna!

We had a wonderful time at this coffee workshop! Thanks to Ali, we learnt about the origins of coffee in Ottoman culture and the history of coffee. We felt the finesse and warmth of Turkish culture :) I can highly recommend this workshop, even for a moment as a couple! And don't hesitate to have a cup of coffee and a pastry in his coffee shop - it's delicious!

Aziz was so knowledgeable and kind. The entire experience was so much fun and such a good way to learn more about the city.
