Fantastic cultural experience - The workshop was amazing. The technics, culture and fortune telling. Everything was amazing. I also asked for some travel tips after the class, the teacher’s suggestion was amazing. Mega appreciation and I’d mega recommend everyone this workshop. 強烈推薦來伊斯坦堡的旅客們， 如果對趣味的土耳其咖啡文化有興趣，一定要來參與這門課程。這門課既生活化又有歷史知識點，受益良多。

Unexpectedly brilliant! - I actually only booked this as I had a free afternoon, however, I was pleasantly surprised and it ended up being one of my top Istanbul activities. Aleyna was informative and friendly. 10/10

See, Do. Enjoy! - The presentation included a history of coffee as well as the traditions surrounding Turkish coffee and how to make it. Everyone had an opportunity to try their hand at making coffee and after drinking it, we each had our fortunes told. It was a great experience and I would highly recommend this activity! Oh and we also each walked away with the tools we need to make our own coffee at home!

Highly recommended - If you're in Istanbul, I highly recommend not just trying their Turkish coffee but also learn how to make it. Our host Aleyna was so nice to send me via text directions on how to navigate there. She is so wonderful, knowledgeable and really took time with each of us making sure that we got it right in making the coffee. And a plus, you take home a kit so you can make it at home (grinder not included, but you can find it at the market between 300 to 800 liras). You can buy the coffee grinded already all over Turkeyi. It was a very informative and pleasant experience while in istanbul especially with your partner.

My highlight excursion in Istanbul - This was one of my favorite experiences. We met in a 500 year old building in the Spice Bazaar. The room was refurbished to an authentic space. Top notch. The instructor Eve was so kind and gave a lovely overview of the history behind Turkish coffee. I learned quite a bit about Turkish culture- more than on an all day tour! I highly recommend this short and quality experience. I now can make Turkish coffee!!! A*

Poor delivery & let down - Very poor experience- the venue was very hard to find, the lady delivering the class was very nice but her English was very poor & it was hard to understand. She skipped through the video presentation fast forwarding large chunks & it was all over well within the hour.
