Better than expected! - Petek was a delight. Prior to the start of the workshop I was lost. She was very understanding and patient. She is very knowledgeable, about the origin of coffee in Turkey. She provided very clear instructions on how to grind, roast and make Turkish coffee. Her jovial energy added a nice touch to a morning class. I definitely recommend others to take this workshop.

Highlight in Istanbul: turkish coffee history, tradition, workshop and fortune telling - This experience was the highlight of our trip to Istambul! Petek very enthusiasticly introduced us to turkish coffee history and the tradition around it, we learned how to make our own turkish coffee at the workshop. The fortune telling was a fun addition to this experience and a way to connect with everybody in the workshop. We felt very welcomed and even got mugs as a gift so we could continue with the this wonderful tradition.

Fabulous Workshop - Husband and I did this workshop with Petek while we were in Istanbul. We highly recommend it! It was informative and the guide, Petek was personable and helpful. We loved learning the history & culture around Turkish coffee, and we will use our new found knowledge of how to make it when we return home! Loved the fortune telling as well, that was a lot of fun. Overall, a great value and perfect amount of time. A must do if you love coffee or would love to learn more about Turkish culture!
