Turkish Delight Workshop: History, Tasting & Making Experience

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.

I had a great experience with this Turkish Delight workshop! From the very first moment you are taken into the rich history of lokum. The story of more than 250 years old really comes to life and gives so much extra meaning to what you taste and make. The workshop itself is super fun and educational. You get the chance to taste three different, unique varieties of Turkish Delight, each with their own taste and character. In addition, it is extremely special to see the entire traditional preparation process step by step and to experience it yourself. The guidance of a local expert tops it all off: you notice that a lot of passion and knowledge is shared, which makes the experience even more authentic. As icing on the cake, you will also receive a beautiful gift from Hacı Bekir, Istanbul’s oldest pastry chef – a truly beautiful and meaningful finish. In short: an absolute must for anyone who wants to combine culture, history and good food in one unique experience!
