“Zeynep was such a wonderful instructor. She was very patient and attentive while teaching us. Also, shared a lot of local gems with us which we are excited to try. Would really recommend this activity for others to try instead of buying the lamps from the stores. Thank you Zeynep for a wonderful experience”

“Our guide gave us a very educational and interesting history of coffee making in Turkey. She was very hospitable and we were offered tea, coffee and water upon arrival. We enjoyed ourselves and they even provided us with a little gift bag which was a wonderful surprise. I highly recommend this activity.”

“I would like to leave positive feedback about two wonderful team members named Zeynep. The first Zeynep helped and guided me during my perfume creation experience. She was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what she was teaching. Her love for perfumery truly showed, and it made the experience both enjoyable and memorable. The second Zeynep inspired me during my visit related to glass painting. She shared ideas and encouragement that left me excited and motivated for my next visit. Her creativity and positive energy were truly inspiring. Both of these ladies clearly love and enjoy what they do, and it reflects strongly in the way they interact with…”

“We really loved this lamp workshop. Our family of 5 (including 2 college age kids, a high schooler)l, and a husband that doesn’t normally enjoy “arts and crafts”) had so much fun making our lamps. The workshop staffers were very friendly and helpful, and we’d highly recommend this as a fun stop during a vacation to Istanbul.”

“Absolutely superb workshop - guide and other staff of cafe were lovely, really fun, interesting and unique activity in a really cool cafe that we wouldn’t have otherwise been to - we had lunch here too (not included in workshop) and the food was excellent! cannot recommend this highly enough, you must do this if you are a tourist in Istanbul!!”

“This Turkish Coffee Making Workshop was an absolute highlight of my trip! Togrul, our instructor, was incredibly engaging, knowledgeable, and passionate about the art and history of Turkish coffee. The session was very interactive—Togrul made sure everyone felt involved and comfortable, whether you were a seasoned coffee lover or a curious beginner. He not only taught us the traditional brewing techniques step-by-step but also shared fascinating stories about the cultural significance of coffee in Turkey, which added so much depth to the experience. The atmosphere was relaxed yet enriching, and the thoughtful gift we received at the end was such a lovely surprise—it truly made the whole expe...”

“Fun activity and great for solo travelers. Took about an hour. You get to keep your lamp and they have adapters for different parts of the world…………………………………………………………………………………………………….”

“Esin was super helpful.and knowledgeable along with the other staff at the venue. thanks. An enjoyable couple of hours.”

“I had an AMAZING time. I met a mother and daughter from Maine and we had a blast. Our perfumer was HILARIOUS. He made the experience so much fun. We were mixing some crazy oils and he was able to help us balance everything. I can’t wait for my perfume to be set and ready to spray on. Hopefully it’s not too strong.”

“Fun couple of hours - favourite part was learning about Turkish coffee and making a great cup! The fortune telling part was a bit of entertainment but still enjoyable. And loved the gift we got at the end - will always remind us of this experience!”
