Fastastico! Bekier nos buscó puntual, se dio cuenta que hablamos español y él sorpresivamente también hablaba un poco lo cual ayudo a mejorar la experiencia! Llegamos una casa de ceramica que funciona desde 1800, nos explicaron todo en español también y pudimos vivir la experiencia de un alfarero. No tenemos palabras para describir la experiencia. Al regreso Bekier se tomo el tiempo de mostrarnos el valle rojo y blanco, dejarnos sacar fotos y recomendarnos comida local. Gran experiencia sin duda Translate this opinion into English.

Fantastic! Bekier met us promptly. He noticed we spoke Spanish, and surprisingly, he also spoke a little, which helped enhance the experience! We arrived at a pottery house that's been operating since 1800. They explained everything to us in Spanish, and we were able to experience being a potter. Words can't describe the experience. On the way back, Bekier took the time to show us the Red and White Valley, let us take photos, and recommended local food. A great experience, no doubt. Opinion translated. Show original.

Fue una auténtica mala experiencia!!!! No es un taller de cerámica. Es una charla de 30 minutos (no 2h como pone la actividad) en la que te cuentan como trabajan el barro y luego te llevan a su tienda, sintiéndote como obligado a comprarles algo. Llamar a esto actividad es de vergüenza. No entiendo como una empresa como civitatis permite tener esto entre sus actividades. Un poco de prestigio de marca por favor.

It was a truly bad experience! It's not a pottery workshop. It's a 30-minute talk (not 2 hours as the activity says) in which they tell you how they work with clay and then take you to their shop, making you feel obligated to buy something. Calling this an activity is disgraceful. I don't understand how a company like Civitatis allows this to be included in its activities. A little brand prestige, please.

Te recojen en coche en tu hotel, te llevan hasta la actividad y después te devuelven al hotel. En nuestro caso fue Bekir, súper simpático. En el taller haces una pequeña demostración con arcilla. Después te muestran diferentes técnicas que ellos usan y finalmente visitas todas las salas que tienen de exposicion. Pueden comprar cualquier cosa, te hacen descuento por ir, incluso te lo mandan a tu país sin coste añadido. Translate this opinion into English.

They pick you up at your hotel, take you to the activity and then return you to the hotel. In our case it was Bekir, who was super friendly. In the workshop you do a small demonstration with clay. Then they show you different techniques that they use and finally you visit all the exhibition rooms they have. You can buy anything, they give you a discount for going, they even send it to your country at no extra cost. Opinion translated. Show original.

Prise en charge et explication de la création de la céramique individuelle, ils nous ont accueilli malgré on avait anticipé et sans nous faire attendre il nous ont tout de suite offert un thé. La manipulation n’a pas été trop longue, mais ça a été suffisant pour comprendre et vraiment sympa ! Tous étaient très gentils, en particulier le propriétaire qui nous a accueilli et il nous a permis de garder nos créations Translate this opinion into English.

Support and explanation of the creation of the individual ceramics, they welcomed us despite our anticipation and without making us wait they immediately offered us tea. The manipulation didn't take too long, but it was enough to understand and really nice! Everyone was very nice, especially the owner who welcomed us and allowed us to keep our creations Opinion translated. Show original.

Es muy interesante. Beco nos recogió en el hotel y devolvió luego. Ibrahim nos contó detalles muy interesantes del arte de la cerámica. Para mi gusto la experiencia es un poco corta ya que apenas estás dos minutos por persona y tardamos 1h en vez de 2h. Aún así fue muy interesante y curioso y lo recomendaría. Translate this opinion into English.

It's very interesting. Beco picked us up at the hotel and returned us afterwards. Ibrahim told us very interesting details of the art of ceramics. For my taste, the experience is a bit short since you are only two minutes per person and it takes us 1 hour instead of 2 hours. Still it was very interesting and curious and I would recommend it.

Nos recogió en el Hotel Bekir Kaynak (excelente hablando el español y mejor aun como guía de turismo) para llevarnos a Havanos. Nos recibieron con Te Turco y una breve explicación acerca del barro y su historia en la región. Para luego pasar a una cueva y ver piezas de colección. Translate this opinion into English.

La experiencia no cumplió mis expectativas. La descripción decía que te quedabas con una pieza de cerámica, pero no recibimos nada. Además, la actividad debía durar dos horas y solo fue una. Sentí que básicamente pagamos por visitar un taller, lo cual no tiene sentido cuando puedes ir a Ávanos, recorrer los talleres y decidir si compras algo. No encontré valor en esta actividad, ya que esperaba algo más interactivo y significativo. No lo reco

The experience did not meet my expectations. The description said you were left with a piece of pottery, but we received nothing. Also, the activity was supposed to last two hours and it only lasted one. I felt like we basically paid to visit a workshop, which makes no sense when you can go to Avanos, walk through the workshops and decide whether to buy something. I found no value in this activity as I was expecting something more interactive and meaningful. I do not recommend it.

Pésima experiencia. De las dos horas el taller dura 30 minutos. Después te llevan a la galería para venderte cosas. Lo peor fue que durante el taller el “maestro” llamó a una de las integrantes del grupo para hacer una cerámica y moviéndolo para causar incomodidad en ella. Encima, el chofer que nos llevó ingresó a la sala a grabar ese momento bochornoso, por lo que tuve exigirle que borre esos videos. Pésima experiencia.

Terrible experience. Of the two hours, the workshop lasts 30 minutes. Afterwards, they take you to the gallery to sell you things. The worst thing was that during the workshop, the “teacher” called one of the members of the group to make a ceramic and moved it to make her uncomfortable. On top of that, the driver who took us entered the room to record that embarrassing moment, so I had to demand that he delete those videos. Terrible experience.

Muy buena, la guía explico perfecto. Lo único negativo es que no tuvimos el "momento foto" que indica la descripción ni paramos en ningún lugar con vistas. El resto perfecto Translate this opinion into English.

The host was nice and everything else was okay but the experience did not match the description on the page. The entire experience was said to be of 2 hours but along with the pick up and drop it ended in 1.5 hours for me. There's nothing I couldn't haveearnt just using Google. Not recommended.
