The class was amazing, we enjoyed everything, we cocked best turksih delight i ever eat. The class was organized, professional . The instructor Ms lina was very keen to make us learn, we got also turkish turkish deligh and coffee cups as gift 😍
Really good experience with Lina :) She was very kind and helpful !
An absolutely wonderful experience, the most authentic I've had in Turkey. I am a american woman traveling with my mother and daughter, and while other tours guides can be hard to understand or condescending, our time with our tour guide Lina was wonderful. Lina had phenomenal English and was easy to understand, and understood what my family was saying immediately, even if we started talking fast or using american slang. We learned about the history of Turkish delight and how to make it on our tour, but I feel confident any other tour with this company would be just as wonderful as ours due to the staff. We got to have our first honest conversation with a woman in Turkey and hear what daily life in Istanbul is really like. For a affordable, delightful, and authentic experience, I would sign up.
Amazing experience, absolutely worth the money, you learn to make Turkish delights while drinking Turkish tea or coffee and enjoying the different kinds of Turkish sweets. Absolutely a must in Istanbul.
My husband and I loved this class! We always like to do cooking classes when we travel and we are very excited to make Turkish delights at home. It’s also nice because it was with a small group, it was hands on, and it lasted about an hour.
This is a great workshop. You first learn what the history of the turkish delight is. The guide knew all our questions. You can taste many different turkish delights! Then the best part: you make them yourself! The guide was suoer friendly and after you get a small gift! Over all a super nice thing to do when in Istanbul.
The Turkish delights workshop was so much fun. The instructor (Lina) is amazing and the international small group (4 in total) was super fun! I highly recommend this experience in Istanbul.
Absolutely loved the session held by Lina 😍 we learned how to make Turkish delights 😍👌🏼 and will definitely be back for more other sessions with them Thanks a lot ♥️
Lina was my guide for this excursion, she had the perfect personality for instructing a cooking class . Funny, patient and encouraging. She was also knowledgeable of the history behind Turkish Delights. This is one of those excursions that I almost glanced over but I’m glad I didn’t. Lina helped make my time in Turkey memorable
We enjoyed this workshop so much and the instructions were clear. Thanks to our instructor, we shared a great couple activity.
