Great activity! - I have been wanting to own a Turkish Lamp for quite some time now. I was actually recommended by a friend before I came to Turkey to do a lamp making class. It is a great way to relax and unwind after a day of sightseeing. Their availability of hours are great, ranging from 8 AM to 11 PM. I took the 8 PM class and had a great instructor. All the materials you need to build the lamp are provided to you. There were only two other people with me in the class so we did not take up the full three hours. I was done by about two hours. Making the lamp itself is very therapeutic and you have a finished product that you are proud of by the end of the class. I did this class right before my flight back home and I was easily able to take the lamp in my hand luggage with no damage to it. It is recommended for the glue to drive for at least four hours. I now have a beautiful piece that I can keep at home forever and look back on my happy memories in Turkey. If you need an indoor activity and hand have time and space in your luggage for this I would highly recommend it.

Great vacation experience - The best experience from the time I booked to the time I went to my hotel with my beautiful lamp. The instructors are sweet, patient, and with great sense of humor. It was the perfect time to slow down my brain, share with others, be creative and take home a piece of art, my own lamp. They were kind and rescheduled my appointment when I encountered a time issue. I will do it again. Easy to follow instructions and it is for all ages.

A great way to spend time and learn - We had such a fun experience! The guide was very friendly and helpful. She was nice enough to put romanian music (I was the only romanian there). :))) Will gladly recommend further to friends!

Brilliant workshop - I attended the Turkish lamp making workshop with my husband and we had a wonderful time. The lamp making was lots of fun, there were lots of colours and designs to choose from and our teacher Enes was always helpful. I’d recommend this to anyone looking for something to do in Istanbul that’s creative and a little bit different. We’re so pleased with our lamps and can’t wait to use them when we get home.

A must do experience - We had such a lovely evening making our lamps! Our instructor Gaia was really friendly and knowledgeable. We had a small group of 4 so it was very relaxed. Very pleased to be able to take my lamp home and remind me of the fun times had in Istanbul.

Super fun and good value - a must do! - This experience is one of my favourite things I have done in Istanbul. I would reccomend it for couples , solo travellers or families. It’s incredible value considering you get to take home a Turkish lamp, have three hours of someone showing you how to do it , all the materials, and tea and Turkish delights. A really memorable way to see the city! Our instructor was Dina and she was completely fantastic. So helpful , fun and engaging. She made the experience 100/10 and is a credit to the experience.
