Cultural Journey with Turkish Coffee - I thoroughly enjoyed the Turkish coffee class with Ben, which offered a fascinating insight into the history and cultural significance of Turkish coffee. Ben and his sister were excellent instructors, providing detailed explanations of the coffee’s traditions and customs. They were attentive and engaging throughout the session, making it a must-try experience for anyone curious about coffee culture. Plus, the souvenirs received—a beautiful Turkish coffee cup and a fortune-telling guide—were a delightful bonus. Thank you for an unforgettable time!

Core memory from Istanbul - The coffee-workshop was one of our favorite experiences in istanbul. Bunyamin and Aleyna were lovely hosts and shared lots of knowledge in good english. Would definitely recommend! A very fair price as you also get gifts! It‘s a little tricky to find the location, but the locals are super helpful and the location makes it a very authentic experience.

A slow and chilled activity - Really worth a visit. The venue is very atmospheric and relaxing. The host was also very welcoming. We learnt a lot about the history of coffee. The fortune telling was a humorous little bit at the end. This is definitely a chilled out activity that takes you away from the holiday rush.

Lovely! - Incredible tour! Ali our guide was attentive, engaging and knowledgeable. There are multiple options for going to the workshop location. We did option 1 which I recommend. He meets you near the subway station and guides you to the workshop. Cost of public transportation was included which was an added bonus. After the workshop was complete we sipped our coffee and enjoyed good conversation. Felt like hanging out with friends! Ali answered all of our questions about good places to eat, sights to see, etc. (added bonus he's super attractive 🤭) Thank you Ali!!! 😉

Wonderful experience in Istanbul - Ali was our host for the afternoon. He graciously met us at a meeting point convenient for us and accompanied us to a very lovely neighbourhood in Istanbul for our workshop. My daughter and I enjoyed the workshop, and we gained so much knowledge about the origins, history, and customs of Turkish tea. At the end of the workshop ,Ali presented us with a beautiful gift to take home with us. I can highly recommend this activity. We noted that he offers other workshops like mosaic lamp making. Due to time constraints, we were unable to book this workshop. A visit to Istanbul is not complete if you do not attend this lovely activity.

A highlight of our trip - This was a great highlight of our trip! We learned about the history of turkish coffee, learned how to make it, drank coffee and also learned about fortune telling. It would be great if Bunyamin could collaborate with a fortune teller, I'm sure that would attract people even more! He was a great host and gifted us some very thoughtful presents. The workshop is a hidden gem and the location is definitely a highlight of this experience.
