Customer reviews of tours in Turkey

Everything was great. View was spectacular. The waiter is very attentive and helpful. The performance was very good. It’s a very joyful experience all in all. It ended the cruise with many guests dancing happily.

The communication was good and the pick up times were well communicated. The transportation was also good. On the boat, there is plenty of entertainment and our waiter was attentive. The food however, is not the best, it was rather disappointing. The wine and the beer was also not the best. So improvements can be made on the culinary experience.

The cruise was excellent. We were picked up on time from the hotel and transported to the port. The boarding was smooth and quick. The starters are pre served on the table and order for mains were taken by the server. The evening was entertaining, packed with various shows and dances. The meals and drinks were good. Highly recommend this activity provider.

Great experience. A MUST for every Istanbul trip, otherwise you weren't there! Boat, food, white wine, entertainment / show, all great. The best: the shuttle pick up and drop off service, luxury!!! You drive the ship past 2 bridges, completely chilled, there are lounges and bar tables on the upper deck. really nice...

Kemal our organiser was really helpful, responded instantly. The entertainment was lovely and the crew we had was excellent. Luckily the weather was nice so we was able to get some great pictures from the open top deck. Definitely worth the experience if you want to see Istanbul at night.

great ship. Great atmosphere. professional dancers. Enjoy your meal. gladly again

Beautiful experience. Super attentive and attentive waiter, he pampered us a lot, he also helped us put the jacket on. Discreet food and really fun and very very nice entertainment. Having heard Bella Ciao gave an extra touch to this experience. Between one course and another we were on the upper bridge to see the landscape .. what about the very punctual transfer. Advise!

Extremely well organised. With plenty of food, beautiful views and varied dance and musicals, the cruise was beautiful and a must do in Istanbul. There are photographers too onboard and they will print a personalized photo album for you if you would like to buy. However that seemed to be on the pricier side and we didn't buy it. Pickup and Drop at the hotel was hassle free and very timely

Definitely need to go on this dinner cruise if you’re looking for great food and hospitality with a flare of entertainment! The dinner cruise turned into a club quickly after all the dancers got off the floor hahahaha!! Great way to spend a few hours with a significant other as well as enjoy these types of moments.

Good welcome, well-appointed boats, very nice little tour of the Bosphorus by night, really good shows with a good atmosphere. The level of the meal in accordance with the price.

It was a wonderful night and I would do it all over again. The pick up was jusg a little bit late because of the traffic but once we were there they got us our table , we payed for better table to be able to see the show. The fopd was maybe average but we didn’t go there because of the food. The views at night are magical, the show was incredible and it kept us entertained! I would do it all over again

We were a group of 12 people. They came to pick us up at the hotel, very punctual and after the cruise they took us back. Very kind , good dinner with unlimited drinks , excellent staff and beautiful show. All perfect

It was very good. Our time was 3.45PM but due to heavy traffic is Istanbul we missed that. But they organised the next 4.45PM ride for us with the same ticket for free. And the cruise was also awesome!!! The experience was amazing. Highly recommended!!

The tour was very well organized. All employees were very friendly, especially "Osi" helped us a lot.

THIS tour & the evening Bosphorus tour are any visitors must-do. Amazing sights; the bridges, palaces, academy and villas, are ALL screen-savers to say the least. Though the Istanbul heat in August is at a 10yr high. Upper-deck was at capacity. Social-distancing below could be had, but obviously for a reason. Loved it.

I think with better weather it would have been good and a boat a bit more comfortable and a tour also offered in English in the recording

Complete trip and exceptional treatment. They had the detail of inviting us to fruit and soft drinks

The cruise was not bad. I couldn't download the audio guide application because I couldn't find it in the AppleStore. Before boarding they offer you a free juice, coffee, water, or fruit. If it is cold it has a closed part in which you can be.

This was a special experience for me. I had no idea just how beautiful Istanbul really was until i saw it on the water. U can actually see Asia and Europe! I loved how the commentary spoke of the history as well; I learned a lot. The scenery was just amazing and the weather was perfect. I couldn’t ask for anything more. The manager of the tour was also the best. He assisted me with directions and allowed me to have the best possible experience. I recommend this tour to anyone visiting Istanbul. It is a must!!

Great experience!!! We had a great guide Mehmet and I really recommend this tour to everyone who wants to hear something about real Instabul.. Great tour and Thumbs up!!!

This trip is really good value for money we highly recommend it. We were met straight away by the tour organisers and we were given really good advice about the food offerings on the boat . The speed of the boat was so relaxing. All in all it was a really nice experience.

Delightful evening, perfectly timed to see the sights with the sun up and to watch the sun set and turn the old city orange.

I went on the boat with a terrible migraine and ended up getting seasick. Gökhan, Nursah and Can took such good care of me. I wish that I had been fit enough to enjoy the snacks and views that the tour offered.

I highly recommend this tour! It match the description. Our guide Can gave good information, and his English was very good. The boat was clean and the food was great. The time was perfect to watch sunset.

Great way to start off a vacation in Istanbul. You get to see different points of interest along both sides of the bosphorus. The tour is done by an actual person, not a recording. There was enough room to sit comfortably and move around. The hosts were very accommodating, providing plenty of snacks and drinks. We even got to see a pod of dolphins. A beautiful view of the sunset. Definitely worth the time and money.

Great tour with Göckan and the rest of the crew! You really get to learn a lot about the city and with great views. It's also a nice little escape from the busy city for a few hours where you can reIax with the sea air. I would definitely do this tour again if I come back to Istanbul!

They do what they promise in the description. It was a very nice experience and a pleasant time on the ship. You got to see the city of Istanbul from various angles including the sunset and the golden horn. At the End you got to hear the Muezzins of all mosques while cruising along the Galata bridge. Perfect Timing! But better be early! They don't have much time for docking!

The tours was terrific and I would highly recommend it! The crew and Jello were so attentive and kind and served us with delicious treats cheerfully! We had a bowl of nuts each a selection of sweet and savoury baked goods a little selection of fruit and tea. We opted to buy a glass of wine and beer which were normal prices. Jello gave a great commentary and with humour ( ask about Galata Tower!) . We learnt a number of new things. The length of the trip was great. We did the sunset tour and they waited near the end so we could see Istanbul bathed in a golden coat. Great photo opportunities. The yacht was very comfortable. They gave us blankets in case we got cold. There was plenty of room for great snapshots from different angles. There is a lot of building work around that area. They gave great directions where to meet but we missed the sentence that said look on the other page and saw the meeting place was marked on a map. I would highly recommend this trip.

The program matched the description. Everything went wonderfully.

We enjoyed the entire route, and the guides were excellent. They managed groups speaking different languages and found a way to communicate with everyone. We were lucky that the cable car was operational. I also want to highlight your skilled drivers — navigating narrow streets with heavy traffic was impressive! Overall, everything was fantastic!

Everything was great: timely hotel pickup, boat assignments, a satisfying breakfast, visits to Yıldız Palace and Çamlıca Mosque by bus, a return along the Bosphorus to the European side with a tasty lunch, a visit to the viewpoint, and return to our hotel. The experience was entirely positive. No extra costs or services were pushed on us. Highly recommended 👍 P.S. The cable car at the end was underwhelming: a short ride with a longer wait in line.

Everything was very well organized: breakfast and lunch on the boat, and everywhere we were met, escorted, and guided. The only downside was the weather, and the cable car wasn’t working. Otherwise, the excursion was good, and you wouldn’t likely visit these places on your own. In my opinion, the price is optimal.

We really enjoyed everything! We especially loved Çamlıca Mosque — truly grand! The boat ride was also impressive; we saw many landmarks along the shore and received concise, informative commentary. The excursion was very well organized. It was unfortunate that we couldn’t visit Beylerbeyi Palace because it was closed for Ramadan, but we are very grateful to the organizers and guides for their coordinated work. We will definitely use their services again.

The weather spoiled things a bit, but overall the excursion was fine. If you don’t like walking much, the bus transfers saved us from the rain. We saw everything stated in the program except the palace, which was closed on Monday. Instead, we visited Miniatürk Park, which wasn’t an equal replacement in my opinion. Breakfast and lunch were simple — bread, cheese, jams, cucumbers, tomatoes for breakfast; soup and rice with meat for lunch. Breakfast included an individual large teapot, which was excellent in such weather.

Excellent excursion, very well organized. Our guide Anar was wonderful! Breakfast and lunch were sufficient, water was unlimited. It was a combined tour, with both boat and bus segments.

We really enjoyed the excursion. We were a bit worried about booking without prepayment, but everything went smoothly. We were picked up from our hotel at the scheduled time and returned there afterward. The excursion and guides were excellent — everything was organized, clear, and perfect!

Thank you very much for organizing the excursion. My spouse and I were impressed by the sights, the history, and the overall organization of the tour. Everything was excellent — from the locations we visited to the lunch on the boat. We especially enjoyed the stories about Istanbul told by guides. We definitely recommend it!

A wonderful excursion. The daytime Bosphorus tour is much better than the nighttime one. Excellent guides. During the tour, they told us about all the sights along the entire strait. We also went ashore on the Asian side for a walk. Tea and cookies were served on the boat. Everything was great!

A nice Bosphorus cruise. We saw the strait at sunset — very beautiful. During the cruise, we had tea with cookies. We liked it and recommend the excursion.

A wonderful excursion. The transfer picked us up from the hotel and brought us back — everything went smoothly (I was worried at first, but it really went perfectly). The tour starts at 16:15, which is a plus: you listen to the guide while it’s still light, and on the way back you enjoy the beautiful evening city.

Everything was great: we were met at the hotel and escorted to the bus. We had to stand during the ride, but the driver drove carefully. On the boat, they didn’t refuse tea even though I asked for it much earlier than scheduled. The views from the Bosphorus were stunning — we took lots of photos.

We enjoyed the excursion! The guides provided commentary, and everything was convenient. Since it was cool, after the main part we stayed inside the boat. We also went ashore on the Asian side of Istanbul to buy souvenirs or have dinner. Thank you!

It was an excellent excursion. We were picked up from the hotel and taken to the boat. The views of Istanbul from the boat were absolutely beautiful. During the break, we were treated to tea with cookies. We spent a full hour walking around the Asian side of Istanbul and saw the Bosphorus at sunset.

Excellent organization of the entire trip. Bilingual guides told us about the history of each landmark along the route, and the views from the ferry were absolutely stunning! I took dozens of photos and videos during the cruise. A pleasant bonus — tea and cookies on board. Many thanks, and I sincerely recommend it! 10 out of 10.

The cruise left positive impressions. Guide Olga spoke about the history of the places we passed with interest and enthusiasm. Tea and cookies were served. The quality of the tour fully matches the stated price.

For its price, it’s a great excursion. In three hours, we saw a lot, were picked up, treated to refreshments, and taken back to the hotel. Thank you!

The excursion itself was good, with informative commentary in different languages and gorgeous views. We were given an hour to walk along the shore and were treated to tea with delicious cookies ❤️ BUT the transfer could have been better: it arrived late and left us locked in the car at the pier. We knocked on the window, but the driver didn’t notice us.

Thank you for the wonderful experience! Special thanks to the female guides — so kind and friendly!

A heartfelt cruise: wonderful views, tasty lunch, and a pleasant guide! Hotel transfer to and from the pier — what more could carefree tourists want on vacation? Highly recommended; you’ll have a great time!

Everything went perfectly! I was worried that without mobile service during my stay in Istanbul it would be difficult to communicate, but all requests were accommodated, and communication was handled via messaging with both the staff who booked the tour and the driver providing the transfer in a comfortable Mercedes minibus. The excursion itself was very interesting. there was a stop in a scenic spot for a short walk, and we got very close to the Maiden’s Tower. Overall, it was excellent! :)

I enjoyed the excursion; the lunch was delicious, and the guides were wonderful. Thank you 🌷

Good organization throughout. Well done. The lunch was ordinary, but the soup was tasty. The group was diverse, with many Indians, Arabs, and other Asians. The female guides did a great job.

I enjoyed the views of the city from the Bosphorus. Among the guides, I especially liked Camilla, who explained the landmarks well and interestingly

Everything was very well organized. Thank you for your care and attention!

I liked the excursion. There wasn’t complete clarity about the transfer to the boarding point for the boat. I would have appreciated more precise information about the direct organizer of the excursion on the boat. I will recommend it to everyone.

The excursion was very enjoyable. The organization was highly professional. Many thanks! We recommend it to everyone.

This excursion fully justifies its cost: beautiful views, good lunch, and a duration that is just right to see the main sights without getting tired.

Thank you for the excursion and organization! We were picked up from the hotel by bus, a guide accompanied us during the cruise, and lunch was provided! We were lucky with the weather and could enjoy Istanbul in all its colors.

The boat was nice. The lunch was filling: salad, soup, a main course, and dessert. Free tea was available throughout the trip. The information was given in English, with repetition. We had transfers both ways; they messaged us on WhatsApp with an approximate time, and then the driver followed up in English with the exact pickup time. Overall, I agree that it’s harder to focus on the tour during lunch, but personally it didn’t bother me much. There was a one-hour stop on the Asian side—there’s not much to do there, but I went to a café farther away to get ice cream and enjoyed it. Overall, the impressions were positive. The tour isn’t very long content-wise, but it’s decent.

A nice Bosphorus tour with lunch and a one-hour stop on the Asian side of the city. Lunch on board was simple but filling. The stop on the Asian side seemed a bit boring to us, but if your goal is to buy leather goods (jackets, bags) at a good price, that’s exactly the place to do it.

I liked the cruise itself and the food. The organization of the transfer to the boat could be improved. The driver dropped us off, didn’t explain anything, and simply left us standing in line at the pier.

Everything was great, excellent guides—I definitely recommend it.

I enjoyed the tour, and the guide was very engaging! Thank you very much.

Thank you for the wonderful experience! Everything was top-notch! I will definitely come back!

I recommend this tour to everyone who has only one day in Istanbul. Exploring on foot or by public transport isn’t practical, and this cruise gives you a chance to see the main historical landmarks from the water. Having lunch organized is a big plus. Overall, I recommend this cruise—you won’t regret it.

A very interesting excursion with tasty food. We had a one-hour stop to walk around the Asian side of Istanbul.

Overall, I liked the tour. The only downside was that when the information was given in two languages, less was explained than could have been covered in the available time.

The transfer was very well organized (both pick-up and return). Lunch on the boat was excellent: salad, soup, meat with rice, and dessert. The food service was fast and well thought out. Everything was clear and informative. There was plenty of opportunity to take amazing photos and videos. I was very satisfied.

We had a great time, unforgettable experience!!! I highly recommend it, everything was top-notch!!!

A wonderful cruise. Beautiful boat, professional staff. Interesting show. Delicious dinner (appetizers, fish with the most tender salad). I took the tour without alcohol, drinking orange juice and tea. I got a great seat, and everything was clearly visible. At the end, there was an energetic disco. The tour started at 20:30 and ended around 22:20. No transfer. Overall, I liked it. I recommend it.

The program was very interesting, the dinner was delicious, and the views were simply amazing. I recommend it!

I liked that there was a stop near the Maiden’s Tower with a light show. I also enjoyed the dish I ordered—fried chicken—but my friend didn’t like the pasta. It was nice that tea and watermelon slices were served during the concert. The show program was good, and the dancers were excellent. Thank you.

An interesting Bosphorus cruise, the food was decent, the light show at the Maiden’s Tower was beautiful, and we really enjoyed the dancers’ performance. After their show, everyone danced—it was a lot of fun! A very worthwhile event for such a reasonable price 🌺

Everything was wonderful, the food was tasty, the waiters were polite and friendly, the show program was excellent, we had a great evening, and my spouse was even surprised with a birthday greeting—it was very unexpected and pleasant for her. I recommend everyone attend this event.

Thank you for the wonderful time spent on this trip; the show program and dinner were top-notch.

The tour started at 20:30 and ended around 22:20. No transfer. Overall, I liked it. I recommend it.

The food was very tasty—juicy fish and crispy chicken, salad, plus a small spread on bread before the meal 😍 The view was very beautiful. They even gave an extra hour as a gift.

Very good service and concert program. The food was tasty, and I liked that appetizers were served immediately since we were hungry. We didn’t encounter any trickery from the staff; everyone was very kind and welcoming. There were no restrictions on drinks. The light show was very impressive, as were the stunning city views. The only minor issue was that during the performance, I wished I had something to cover up with because it was windy, but hot tea helped. Otherwise, everything was simply wonderful!

An opportunity to see Istanbul and almost the entire Bosphorus Strait in the evening, just as the heat subsides and all the lights turn on, the city begins to shine and looks completely different, as do the monuments (palaces, mosques, other cultural landmarks) 😻. Also, it’s a great chance to enjoy watching traditional Turkish dances!

Excellent excursion! Everything was very enjoyable! Hotel transfer to and from, very delicious dinner, and a great program!

Everything was very good, the food was excellent, the waiters were busy as bees, transfer was comfortable to and from the hotel. Pleasant atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Good program — I recommend it. Picked up from the hotel. The food was more standard than luxurious: vegetable salad, main course, three national appetizers. The waiter kept refilling water constantly — alcohol only upon request — by the end of the evening everything was cleared from the table. The program was national, not bad, for those who enjoy it — dance skills were average. Overall, a pleasant evening.

Probably the best thing we did in Istanbul during our 5-day stay))) There was a pleasant and fun group of tourists like us. Decent cuisine, which is rare for Istanbul. Friendly staff. I recommend it!

A gorgeous Bosphorus cruise, excellent dinner, great service. The organizer set the hotel pickup time, but the transfer was 1 hour late.

Everything was great — the menu, live music, performance, transfer, organization, photos.

Booked in advance before our trip to Istanbul. Everything went wonderfully. Transfer picked us up on time. Everything was precise. Very tasty food, beautiful ship, high-quality service. Everyone was very hospitable. Thank you very much.

Everything was good. Picked up from the hotel and returned there. The food was very tasty, more than I expected. It was my birthday, and they brought a cake with a candle. Sweet and pleasant!

Very tasty food, wonderful program, dancing and singing — overall, a lot of fun. This is my second time attending, and I highly recommend it.

The transfer was 40 minutes late. They were not aware that there were three of us, not just one. On the ship, they initially tried to charge the full amount again, forgetting the deposit we had paid. Otherwise, everything was lovely

I can simply say — I recommend it to everyone, you won’t regret it. Be ready for a photoshoot, the photos turn out amazing. The entertainment and service are top-notch.

The view was amazing, the show was fantastic, but the service was lacking. They just put wine glasses at our table that we didn’t drink and charged us at the end, even though the ticket clearly stated “no alcohol,” as we were on medication. There’s no way to argue with them; we ended up paying for pretty glasses with drinks on the table.

This is an amazing adventure along the Bosphorus. Evening Istanbul is beautiful. The food was delicious, and the service was top-notch. I really enjoyed the entertainment program — a mesmerizing show. We even had a chance to dance a little. I recommend this excursion.

Good afternoon! The event organization, entertainment program, dinner, and festive atmosphere were all very enjoyable. I’m impressed! Thank you!

The evening was wonderful. We were picked up from the hotel and returned afterward. Delicious dinner with two glasses of wine or beer each. The show program was extensive, and we even danced along with the performers. Highly recommended.

Everything was great, though it would have been even better if there were at least audio guides available for an extra fee, as there are many historical sites — no information provided.

At the end, the musical show seemed a bit too long, and the music was loud. The waiter’s service wasn’t great either; we had to remind him — rating: 4/5.

Good afternoon! Very well organized. We were picked up from several hotels by minibus. The guide accompanying us was very positive and stayed with us on the ship, and the driver was excellent. Everything on the ship was well organized. We paid directly on the ship and were seated accordingly. The ship was beautiful, orange in color, very clean and new. The staff worked excellently, immediately clearing dirty dishes and bringing new ones quickly. For the main course, you could choose in advance: fish, chicken, beef, or pasta with sauce. For dessert, everyone received a small honey pastry for free, but for an extra charge, you could order a fruit platter or cakes. The show was excellent; the performers gave 100%. There were traditional Turkish dances and belly dancing. If you weren’t sitting by the stage, there were TVs on the sides so you could watch. The last half hour featured a disco with European and Turkish songs. A photographer was on board; you could decide afterward whether to purchase photos. Extra costs applied only for photos, alcohol, or dessert. Transfers back to hotels were well organized. I highly recommend this excursion with this organizer.

The program was enjoyable, especially if it’s your first time in Istanbul. The hotel transfer was very well organized. I wanted to lower the rating slightly because the start time was initially stated as 19:30. A bit of trickery from the organizers, but the negative was softened by the overall experience.

Overall, essentially, it was a transfer with general information about the sites. The hotel transfer worked fine. On the first island, you have an hour to choose either to walk around or visit the Greek temple. The English-speaking guide seemed informative (my subjective impression). On the second island, you have three hours of free time; the guide outlined possible routes and places to eat. This is not part of the excursion itself, but the food on the island was all terrible and expensive, with extra charges for options — the guide also warns about this. The donuts were okay.

The trip to the Princes’ Islands was wonderful. Everything was well organized — picked up from the hotel, escorted to the boat with a guide, on the first island the group went up to the monastery with the guide, who told the history of the monastery; on the second island, we explored on our own. After the walk, we were taken back to the hotel. Highly recommended — very beautiful!

Many thanks to the organizers, Nastya and Eva, for an excellent excursion.

Enjoyed the tour, there was English guides. Everything was very beautiful and interesting.

Everything was great; the tour was interesting with very beautiful views.

Excellent excursion, but we spent very little time on the islands; otherwise, overall a good tour 👍.

Just one word - AMAZING!!!! This is a MUST HAVE experience if you are visiting Istanbul. Watching the sunset at the Bosphorus was definitely one of the key highlights of my trip. The tour was well organized, the guide explained all the places we passed by during the cruise. It did get very cold but, thankfully the team offered us blankets and tea. ;)

Superb superb superb! We had an amazing time with the best possible crew! Everything is amazing and we enjoyed every moment! Don't miss it!

Unique experience with tasty snacks and knowledgeable explanations.

We liked it very much. Great service. Delicious snack. Fantastic views. Highly recommended

Great way to spend 2 1/2 hours during our first trip to Istanbul. There were 24 guests on the boat but there was room to spread out and the staff gave everyone individual attention. Beautiful sightseeing of both sides of Istanbul from the river. Snacks (fruit, nuts, sweets) were included in the price of the ticket. Drinks were extra. Highly recommend

Thanks for a great excursion! Everything is organized at the highest level. Istanbul at sunset is wonderful !!

My husband and I and our 2 teenagers took a sunset cruise down the Bosporus. Booking online was easy, we were sent the details of where to meet by WhatsApp and the boat was as described. There were a total of around 30 people on the cruise. On board we were provided with water, orange juice and some snacks including baklava, which was very nice. You could also buy alcoholic drinks. The cruise was a great way to see many of the key sights along the river and helped us get our bearings. We enjoyed ourselves and would highly recommend the trip!

This would be a great cruise if you are a smoker, which I am not.. There is no designated smoking area and lots of people were smoking all over the ship, upwind from other passengers. In fact, I felt like I had smoke in my face the whole time, no matter where I moved. Even the captain and crew smoked unabatedly upwind from guests. This pretty much ruined the beauty of the experience. Otherwise the information given, and music played was fine. The food seemed okay, but I lost my appetite from all the smoking. Seriously, if you are going to allow smoking, have a designated area at the back of the boat.

Amazing experience and the snacks provided were absolutely delicious. Best tour of the Bosphorus that is available.

Very nice sunset cruise, great way to see the Bosphorous. The organisation and communication was prompt and efficient. The yacht was modern and not too crowded. The guide and crew were attentive and informative. Snacks and drinks provided were okay.

An amazing experience to do in istambul!!! I fully recommended ! Everything was amazing

The cruise was amazing, we saw the beautiful parts of Istanbul from sea side wich you cannot see and experience from the groubd. The tour guide and all staff were very kind and welcoming. This is something you need to do if you want to experience the best of Istanbul.

Highly recommended! I had a wonderful experience the photographer was calm, creative, and full of great ideas.

Photographer is absolutely great! He did an amazing job! I highly recommend! Thank you so much for the wonderful time and beautiful pictures! You are rock!

The photoshoot was great. If you want to take lots of great photos, I really recommend!!

Everything was wonderful. Although the hot air balloon didn’t fly and we couldn’t capture the scenery from above, we were still able to take photos in various locations. They also listened to our requests, so we were very satisfied with the photo shoot. Highly recommended!

If you want an unforgettable photo shoot, ladies, you must rent one of the wonderful dresses here!
