Definitely a MUST GO! Very nice experience in Istanbul, Nihal was so kind and so patient, gave a brief intro into Mosaic lamps and then was very good at explaining how to build it step by step, would recommend to anyone. Location is very convenient as well.Tine
I booked this lamp decoration, myself and my 17 year old twins. We all enjoyed it. I recommend everybody to do this, as the best homemade souvenir or gift to bring home. " I am keeping mine for myself." It was peaceful and the guide, a young lovely woman, was really pleasant. I recommend, and actually want to go one more time.Rebecca
Nihal and Selin were so fantastic they were friendly chatty and knowledgeable. We had a good laugh with them while we made the lamps and they helped us to realise our ideas we had seen online. We ended up free handing our designs thanks to their help This workshop was so fun to do but the ladies running it made it special You can upgrade your lamp to the hanging design for an extra fee which I chose to do but my partner kept hers as the standard one so we have a nice mixValentina
attività molto bella, le ragazze davvero brave e disponibili, ti porti a casa la lampada come souvenirPeyton
Such a unique activity- would recommend to anyone visiting Istanbul. You are able to design the lamps in any style of your choosing and keep your creation after.Alexis
Loved this activity making the lamp. A perfect keepsake to bring home. The girls in the shop were lovely! The snacks weren’t much, so don’t plan on skipping any meals. But the tea and coffee was very good. The lamp is the important part, and absolutely wonderful!
