Customer Reviews Highlighting the Experience

“Unforgettable Afternoon in Istanbul”

We had an amazing afternoon learning about traditional mosaic patterns and decorating our own Turkish lamp to bring back home. Everyone was so friendly, and our instructor was very helpful and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to complete their Istanbul cultural visit.

“Warm Memories in Istanbul”

I would definitely recommend this activity. This was my second time returning to Istanbul and doing this workshop. Beyzanur was an excellent host who explained everything clearly and shared the history behind mosaic lamps, which was fascinating. My first visit was hosted by Ali, who was equally amazing and hospitable. We had plenty of time to complete our lamps, which we could take home safely bubble-wrapped. Unlimited drinks and snacks were also provided. An incredible experience once again.

“Magical Turkish Mosaic Adventure”

The experience from start to finish was amazing. The guide met us and took us to the metro, which was included in the price. When we arrived, everything was prepared. We learned the history of mosaics, received instructions on how to make the lamps, and then began crafting. Drinks and snacks were provided, and the place was quaint and cool.
