The staff there were very nice and friendly. They even picked us up from the metro station if you’re coming from the european side, and the transport fee was on them. Our instructor Mehmet, explained everything very clearly. During the workshop, we had unlimited water, turkish tea and cookies. Even after I got back to my country, i had an issue with my lamp and i reached out to them for some advice. The staff were super helpful in getting it fixed. They even provided a video to make sure i fixed it properly. You can really see the effort they put in. Overall, i had such a nice experience there. Highly recommended!

Very friendly staff. They work quick so the experience itself is actually rather short, can finish within 10-20mins, or even shorter than that... They were kind enough to give us the digital copy, if we give them 5 stars on Klook though. But rest assured I think they deserve the 5 stars. I think this is the only place for you to get this kind of souvenir - a quality printed photo of yourself in traditional costumes. Do take note it doesn't come with a frame, frame requires add-on.

If you're Korean and feel like you've seen all the tourist spots in Turkey, you absolutely must try this. Honestly, I was hesitant at first because it was less than 30,000 won after a discount, and there weren't many reviews. But it turned out to be incredibly good value for money and very satisfying. When I went, one instructor taught a class of about 15 people in both English and Turkish. They gave detailed advice, like which scents wouldn't go well together, if a scent was too strong, or the best mixing ratios, which helped me create my own satisfying perfume. There was a good variety of perfume essences available, like saffron and milk, and the price also included refreshments such as coffee, tea, and snacks. Even during the class, if you just tell the staff what you'd like to drink, they'll prepare it right away. At the end, they even carefully packaged it with bubble wrap, so I didn't have to worry about putting it in my luggage. It's so affordable that you might wonder if there are any hidden extra charges, but there aren't; they even cover the subway fare from the pickup location to the workshop. Thanks to this, I'm taking home a very special memory :)

Iilham was a great guide. I booked a late coffee workshop so it was just me for that time. He was very friendly and informative. It was a fun experience. Would recommend for anyone's first time in Istanbul. Thanks Iilham for such a warm welcome. 🙏🏽

Ali took great care of us and was a great teacher. It was our first time doing a tufting workshop and we walked out with amazing artwork that we will cherish. Ali was very patient working with us and helped us make a beautiful piece of art. Thank you Ali!

Staff was super friendly. I loved every minute of it. It's best to do this activity first thing when you visit the area as the papers take up to 2 hours to dry. You can walk around and sightsee after the class, and then come back to pick up the finished papers.

The experience itself was quite short. Since I'm not very good at English, I was using a translation app to listen to the history of Turkish coffee. Perhaps noticing this, the speaker slowed down so I could understand better. I had seen it in videos before, but I was able to experience it freshly with various senses: sight, smell, and taste.
