Fantastic 5.0
worth the money, affordable price, full guidance. so relaxing and free flow coffee, tea and cookies. place is at uskudar, so need to take ferry from europe side, but still worth. place also so warm and comfy. there is a small cafe behind it.

I booked 3 workshops for the same day and all were amazing! This was my favorite part because I could create my own Turkish lamp!

Learning how to make Turkish coffee was so interesting! The part of boiling the coffee in the hot sand was very satisfying.

Overall a very pleasant experience. HOWEVER - do take note of the location. The instructor was experienced and friendly, and we had a good time trying different scents and blending them into a unique perfume. However - for the organisers, please update the klook listing to reflect the actual workshop location and timing (i.e. the cafe in Uskudar rather than the meetup place in Sirkeci). Note that you'll either have to meet at Sirkeci 30 mins earlier, or go to the workshop yourself.

We were lucky to have a private session just for us, held on a beautiful inner terrace filled with calm and peaceful vibes. The host was incredibly kind and shared the story and secrets of Turkish coffee making. After tasting the rich, aromatic coffee with sweet Turkish delight, we even had our coffee grounds read — a fun and magical touch that made the experience unforgettable.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Bosphorus Dinner Cruise Review We had a wonderful experience on the Bosphorus dinner cruise. The dinner was delicious, and the variety of dishes really impressed us. The Turkish shows were amazing — lively, colourful, and full of great energy. The waiters were attentive and very good, making sure we were comfortable throughout the night. And of course, the views were absolutely stunning, especially seeing Istanbul lit up from the water. Overall, a beautiful night with great food, fantastic entertainment, and unforgettable views. Highly recommended!

An unforgettable Bosphorus sunset experience! The Bosphorus Sunset Tour in Istanbul was an absolute highlight of my trip. Watching the city transform as the sun slowly dipped behind the skyline was nothing short of magical. The blend of soft golden light reflecting off the water, the silhouettes of centuries-old palaces, and the call to prayer echoing across the strait created an atmosphere I’ll never forget. The boat was comfortable and beautifully maintained, with plenty of space to enjoy the views from all angles. The crew were friendly, professional,and there is an audio guide available, from the Dolmabahçe Palace to the Maiden’s Tower and the impressive bridges connecting Europe and Asia. One of my favorite moments was cruising past the waterfront mansions and watching the city lights begin to shimmer as night approached. It felt peaceful, romantic, and incredibly scenic. It’s the perfect way to experience the city’s beauty, history, and charm all at once. Highly recommended! ⸻
