Great fun, perfect fit if you only have a couple of hours free while in Istanbul. - Fun couple of hours - favourite part was learning about Turkish coffee and making a great cup! The fortune telling part was a bit of entertainment but still enjoyable. And loved the gift we got at the end - will always remind us of this experience!

5-Star Review for... - 5-Star Review for Istanbul Turkish Coffee Making & Fortune Telling Workshop The Istanbul Turkish Coffee Making & Fortune Telling Workshop was a delightful experience! Benjamin, our presenter, was fantastic—his storytelling brought the history of Turkish coffee to life, making it fun and engaging. Learning to brew authentic Turkish coffee was simple yet special, and the fortune-telling from the coffee grounds felt like a magical touch. This workshop is a perfect blend of culture and connection. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Istanbul! ☕

Turkish coffee and divination reading - Two very interesting, informative, pleasant hours. Fatima is an excellent trainer, competent, prepared, empathetic. The introduction to Turkish coffee culture, the step-by-step guided preparation, the tasting and the reading of coffee grounds by the animator are the well-balanced elements of a successful recipe. To be recommended with eyes closed.
