    This is an amazing workshop and activity for learning more about Liitle Aya Sophia. The tiles workshop is also fun and very educational since you are using an ancient technique with ancient tools. Mr Burga is a great tour guide and shares many interesting historical details. His mother is super friendly and leads the tiles workshop. We had so much fun. Highly recommended!

    The experience of the experiential perfume lab in Istanbul was truly magical for me. Mr. Burak was extremely friendly, warm and explanatory, creating from the very first moment a space of security, connection and joy. Watching closely how lavender essential oil is created was deeply touching. Even more, the fact that I was involved in creating my first essential oil was an experience that touched something very essential in me. The process was not just technical; it was experiential, full of presence, knowledge, care and respect for nature and the art of perfumery. My association with Mr. Burak and the way he shared his knowledge and love for what he does filled me with joy, inspiration and gratitude. Thank you from the heart for this experience, which will remain deeply engraved for me. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for something authentic, substantial and truly special.

    A special and enriching experience! A high-level aromatherapy oil preparation workshop, with a knowledgeable, professional and fascinating person. A perfect combination of learning, scents, creation and connection to nature. An authentic experience and highly recommended for tourists looking for something local, deep and different from the usual. I left with knowledge, a personal oil and a wonderful memory from the visit.

    It was a wonderful experience that we could learn how to make "turkish delight". Everything spiced with less known stories about old times of Istambul and the history of the place. I warmly recommend to take this workshop.
