Misafir Defteri

It was incredible!!! Had so much fun and lost track of time. The place was unique and the tools and the vibrant colors of mosaic with the backstory telling which was quite interesting and the instructor was very nice and friendly. The best thing is that you get to see the lamp come together and light up with all the reflections of different mosaic colors which you later once it’s done you get to keep and now it’s on my cupboard in my room having the Islamic sunset light. ALSO not to mention getting to meet cool people from all around the world. Since a great experience, highly recommend.

This was such a great and unique experience! Zeynep was very kind and friendly, and of course extremely knowledgeable about all types of scents. And it's a great way to meet new people too. I would highly recommend this to everyone visiting Istanbul!

même si je ne comprenais pas l’anglais notre guide a su nous faire comprendre et apprécier cette activité. très fière de ma réalisation

Very well planned! We had lots of fun :) The garden cafe only had toast though their menu was quite long.

Es war eine wunderschöne Erfahrung, die Guides waren sehr kompetent und freundlich, den Kurs würden wir immer wieder besuchen.

Es war eine kleine Gruppe. Zunächst wurde uns die Geschichte des Türkischen Kaffees vorgestellt und danach die Zubereitung. Der Guide war super nett und hat uns alle Fragen zu dem Kaffee und dem Land beantwortet. Es war eine schöne Atmosphäre.

Everything is perfect organized!

Adoramos! Estimula a criatividade, fizemos amigos de outras nacionalidades e a equipe é extremamente atenciosa.

Es hat mega Spaß gemacht, kann ich nur weiterempfehlen. Dazu hat man auch gleich eine schöne Erinnerung.

It was fun, we enjoyed it and at the end you get a nice handmade souvenir from Istanbul.

Class instructor was great, easy to follow directions. It was a lot of fun and ended up with some fantastic lamps!

It was such a wonderful workshop. Both ladies who were our guides were the sweetest people ever and two girls who came for the workshop were also wonderful. The workshop itself was really interesting and made everyone wake up their creativity. The atmosphere of the whole group was immaculate and it felt more like girlfriends meeting up to chat and do something together but it was still very insightful when it comes to workshop itself. My boyfriend who was the only man in the group also really enjoyed the workshop and didn’t feel awkward or unwelcome. If you ever consider going for this workshop don’t hesitate becuase it’s worth the money not only for the activity but also for the wonderful people there who make those workshops happen.

Brilliant workshop, the staff were lovely. Lamp looked great!

Der Kurs für das Basteln der Mosaiklampe war sehr schön. Wir haben sehr viel lernen dürfen und haben schöne Inspirationen bekommen. Die Atmosphäre war wunderschön. Danke für den Kurs, die Erfahrung und die Gastfreundschaft! Ich hoffe auf ein weiteres Mal, wenn ich wieder in Istanbul bin! 🩷

Good

it was such a nice experience, everything was well organise and the place it actualy very chill. thank you!

Super, un bon groupe. Tout était très bien expliqué je recommande

We really enjoyed the workshop, learned a lot about not just Turkish coffee but also Ottoman history and culture. The guide was really knowledgeable and passionate. It was both informative and interactive. Strongly recommend it to anyone visiting Istanbul.

I really recommend, I went by myself and met new people there, also the woman who bring the activity was really friendly, coffee, tea, water and cookies are included

Wow, what an amazing experience. Really does it worth, the staff was very polite and patient with our group which include teens. The communication was great as the staff speak fluent english. Thank you so much.

The lantern making class was awesome. The instructor really broke the project into manageable tasks, was hands-on with help when we needed it, and kept the class pace moving so we would finish in time. It was a really wonderful experience! I would totally do it again.

Excellent, je recommande ! Le guide était super. L’accueil top. L’activité est intéressante culturellement et techniquement. Nous sommes repartie avec notre petit kit pour faire du café turque. C’était top !

Firstly, the communication from the team is very good. They got in touch via WhatsApp with precise details of the meeting point. from there we went to the Asian side via the metro for the activity. The workshop was super fun, therapeutic activity. They explain the history behind it and the step by step process to make and design the lamp. They served us cay (Turkish tea) with cookies. Once the lamp is ready, they need to let it dry for around 40 mins. During this time you can enjoy the cafe. They served complimentary Turkish coffee. I highly recommend to do this activity, but keep in mind the time. it took me total of 4 ish hours Note that you need to return back on your own. I took the ferry back to the European side.

great fun and such an interesting way to spend an afternoon. was also an excuse to explore the Asia side when I had only seen the European side so far. really grateful for the pick up and escort to other side, as wasn't familiar with public transport at all.
