Enjoyable experience - Lovely time and talk with the Young Gentleman :) They are very open to ideas, friendly and happy to share about their country and culture. The fortune-telling part was interesting (my favourite) and the coffee and sweets were good and original, thank you!

Amazing - must do! - A remarkable experience thanks to the host, İlker. This felt like more like a genuine experience and dialogue rather than a paid tour. İlker is a trove of information and beyond friendly. Do this at the beginning of your time in Istanbul because he gave us so many good ideas and tips about other activities but it was our last day. The location is super close to bustling tourism but hidden around the corner in a nice local building (with one of the better thrift shops in the basement). Enjoy!

Don’t miss out on this hidden gem - The location is super awesome with a bunch of very cool vintage stores around!
I subscribed to it by chance since it was the cheapest thing on TripAdvisor, but I can’t recommend it enough. The organizers taught me how to actually brew Turkish coffee, explained the history and culture behind it, offered a variety of coffee and sweets, and most importantly, taught me how to make divinations with the coffee grounds.
They explained the symbolism, were incredibly friendly, and even gave me a home-brewed sorbet! After drinking 4 coffees and asking all my questions about the future, I was so happy!

Delightfully surprised! - Amazing experience! My mom used to make me turkish coffee when I was a teenager and a decades later I got to experience the authentic taste, atmosphere and tradition. Cannot recommend enough visiting and diving deep into the culture of turskish coffee and fortune telling if you happen to be in Istanbul!
