Misafir Defteri

Sjovt og meget informativt. Ekstremt søde og kommunikative værter, og meget unikt lokale.

This was great activity to do! I did this class with a friend and we both had such a great time. Staff was friendly, kind and welcoming. They give you a little gift at the end and it makes for the perfect souvenir!

This was such a fun activity to do while in Istanbul! The host was super friendly and gave us recommendations for local places to visit and eat. The gift of the cezve and cup at the end was a cute touch.

Рады, что посетили эту экскурсию! Организатор предложил несколько мест для встречи, чтобы мы не потерялись для нас это было важно, тк были в Стамбуле впервые. Теперь мы в холодной российской столице по вечерам включаем сделанные своими руками светильники! Смело бронируйте места на мастер класс - не пожалеете)

We had a fantastic experience doing the Turkish coffee workshop and would recommend it to everyone who loves coffee and culture, Our host Ali was most knowledgeable and professional and gave us the best experience ☺️🙏 5 star activity☺️

This was a relaxing way to spend a morning.

Great way to spend an afternoon and learn more about the culture

I can’t praise this activity highly enough. The instructors and staff were very friendly and helpful, and the lamp decorating turned out to be the highlight of our trip. You can be as creative as you like, or follow traditional pattern templates. We found it very calming and peaceful, and a good break from the hustle and bustle of the city. Afterwards you have a lovely souvenir that is more special and meaningful than one you buy in a store. The workshop itself is in a beautiful location with a gorgeous café, and after you’ve finished (and waiting for the glue to dry) it’s a good area to walk around and explore.

The hosts were absolutely amazing and so helpful and kind. The experience itself was so relaxing and fun, definitely, a great activity to do while traveling.

I arrived late to the class (traffic in Istanbul is something else!) but Bunyamin and Ali were helpful throughout helping me to navigate to the venue. Real value for money and fun meeting people from around the world all visiting this beautiful city. Hosts were also kind enough to keep the lamp safe while I explored the surrounds and did some amazing shopping after the class.

It was really nice and the guide did a great job. 10/10 recommend!

This was a great way to start the morning on the Asian side of Istanbul! The workshop was relaxed and a lot of fun, it felt nice to make a lamp i could take home rather than buy one. lots of color options and we didn't feel rushed at all!

I was picked up on time at the location as well as others who had signed up. We followed Aziz to the metro and guided us to the location of the workshop where he introduced the activity and all the supplies. He was there in case anyone needed help. There was an endless supply of coffee or tea while you worked on your lamp. They even gave us cookies! After we decorated the lamp, a bulb and stand was supplied so it was a full blown lamp! Not just the part we decorated. I was very happy with the result. After the activity was over we made our own way back.

We booked this tour in Oct 2023 and had a wonderful fun evening with Ali and his team. Ali is a very pleasant young man who takes great care of his guests. My wife and I were met by Ali at the designated meeting point and he accompanied us from there to his workshop. We were joined by another Irish young lady. The 3 of us had a nice enjoyable and interactive presentation and a coffee tasting session where we were told the history and nuances of making Turkish coffee and it's cultural significance. We actually made some Turkish coffee ourselves ! In the end we were also given a nice surprise gift ! Ali is a great host who is ever willing to assist you with any kind of assistance you may need during your trip. He will also guide you back to your hotel or wherever you want to go after the workshop. Wish we had done it in the beginning of our tour but, nevertheless, it was the grand finale of our visit to the beautiful Istanbul. Highly recommended.

it was fun, relaxing, and a really interesting way to spend a couple of hours out of the hustle and bustle of the city. Ali was very helpful about the rest of our time here in Istanbul too

A beautiful workshop and cultural experience.

This was the highlight of our trip for my teenagers. We really enjoyed designing our own lamps. May I suggest showing examples of what lamps could look like and possibly offering more vibrant colors like red, purple or royal blue glass. Otherwise, great activity. Meeting up with the tour provider and taking the ferry over was ideal. If in doubt, make the lamps and create memories that will last a lifetime.

We had the best time making mosaic lamps at this beautiful cafe on the Asia side of Istanbul, both our guides were so lovely and gave great tips for perfecting our lamps and they’ve turned out fabulous! They even bubble wrap the lamp for safe transport and the endless cups of tea coffee and water were great too.

Ich war sehr zufrieden mit dem Workshop! Ali ist ein toller Gastgeber und super herzlich. es war auf jeden Fall ein Highlight meines Besuchs in Istanbul. Der Ort, an dem der Workshop stattfindet ist super schön und es läuft sogar eine Katze herum.

I went there with my mom and we both liked it very much! The instructions were clear, There were a lot of space and materials to be creative. Lamps turned out very cute

Fantastic very professional and enjoyable Highly recommend it

Ali was very knowledgeable, informative and very friendly. A great experience from start to finish, gifts were well received.

Bunyamin is a fantastic host who takes the time out to learn about you, share about his life, and genuinely makes you feel at home. They lamp making process is a matter of art and steady hands. They show you how to make a lamp without making it a hard process. While the lamp dries they treat you to amazing food that you can’t find in your home country. This is a must do activity when you’re in Istanbul.
