Customer reviews of tours in Turkey

I highly recommend this yacht trip in the sunset hours from 6 p.m. It seems to me that the evening views of Istanbul from the Bosphorus will not leave anyone indifferent!

Everything went great, a wonderful walk, for those who don't like noise and crowds. Excellent service, pleasant snacks. Thanks guys, I'll recommend it.

Wonderful views, tea, coffee, fruits, nuts are served on the boat. Friendly guys, taking pictures, telling us that we are sailing, but in English. You can take food on board. We were lucky with the weather, in the evening I advise you to take something warm with you, a hoodie, a light jacket, although there were blankets on the boat. Thank you very much.

It was an extraordinary journey at sunset! Incredible impressions that we received and discussed the next day, how fantastically beautiful it was! I will remember this magnificent painting for a long time. Excellent service on board. I recommend it from the bottom of my heart!

I really enjoyed the tour. Nice yacht. The Azan presenter is a very pleasant, friendly young man. The captains were also on top. It got cool, and they offered blankets. Treats- sliced fruit, buns, nuts- delicious, beautifully set. Azan courted me, offered me tea and coffee, and the language barrier didn't even bother me. Great music, beautiful views. I was with my daughter for 18 years, she was delighted.Thanks for the lovely walk.

Excellent organization - the guys described the meeting place on the embankment in detail, picked us up, put us on the yacht without delay. The yacht is comfortable and comfortable, and you can stay anywhere - inside, in the control room above, even on the bow. They were treated to fruits, nuts, coffee, and rolls. It's an interesting walk, it's very beautiful around, my wife and daughter and I brought a lot of cool photos and videos with us. The guys are very friendly, and the places are very beautiful. I recommend it, especially in good weather.

Istanbul at sunset is a fairy tale!!!! It's not a long, very easy and enjoyable tour. We just swam, admired the views, ate fruits, nuts, snacks. We had a very pleasant time, and then admired the sunset and Istanbul in the evening lights.

Review from my mom) "Istanbul! We fell in love with you! To your embankments, cafes, seagulls and cats. To your streets, architecture, and people! And one of the most vivid and unforgettable experiences was a yacht trip. Very friendly and helpful team! We were pleasantly surprised- we were treated, photographed, and given the opportunity to see the sunset! Istanbul, we are not saying goodbye, we are saying goodbye!!!"

Everything was great. The yacht is great! During the walk, the views were amazing. The staff did an excellent job. We returned with a sea of beautiful photos and impressions.

It's not the first time I've been swimming with the guys, great organization and stunning views both in winter and summer, special thanks for swimming as close as possible to the maiden tower, I highly recommend it.

The price is excellent, the yacht is comfortable, you can take beautiful photos, you are greeted in a separate place, the yacht immediately sails and immediately departs, thank you very much for the organization and impressions

Overall, the impressions from the walk are positive - the views are wonderful, the staff is attentive, there are no questions about the stated snacks and drinks. One of the nuances: it was suggested to pre-install the audio guide on the phone (download the application), but since there was no Internet, nothing could be listened to on the spot. The best views are below, on the open part of the yacht, where you can feel the Bosporus most fully. It was warmer on the upper part, soft windows were installed there, but the impressions were also appropriate.

The yacht was comfortable and the breakfast was delicious. The walk was very pleasant, and the staff at the reception and during breakfast were rated 5 stars.

The breakfast was very tasty and varied. It's also a great trip and pleasant service.

Everything is just wonderful! Excellent service and very tasty and satisfying food! I highly recommend it!v

We had a delicious breakfast/brunch and a guided tour of the Bosphorus. There is a lot of food, and the staff is very pleasant.

If you want to go on a cruise, I 100% recommend this option! It was magical, and the fact that we were in a limited group made the trip even better! The guide was incredibly helpful, and the breakfast was amazing!

It can hardly be called an excursion. There was no tourist information. Rather, it was a trip along the Bosphorus, in which we had a very nutritious breakfast, a pleasant atmosphere, and excellent musical accompaniment. All the team members are very friendly. If you have free time in Istanbul, I recommend you to visit.

I really liked the breakfast on the Bosphorus, the friendly team , all the amenities, a round-trip transfer was provided. everything was very punctual, the breakfast was incomparable , not limited in the literal sense, the views are gorgeous, live music , the only wish , the voiceover of iconic places on the coast so that we know what we see . Thank you so much for the positive emotions.

We were very satisfied with everything. We were picked up from the meeting point and brought back at the appointed time.

The guide met us and accompanied us throughout the tour! It was very pleasant, he was interested in how we were doing and made sure that we were always well provided for! I will be happy to come again!

We had a wonderful cruise. On the manager’s advice, we purchased a VIP table and were very satisfied. There was a beautiful view of night Istanbul outside the window, and the evening program was right in front of our eyes. Everything was very well organized for a fun evening.

Overall, the evening was a success. We were surprised that the program was scheduled to start at 8:00 PM, but the ship actually departed at 9:00 PM. We were supposed to be picked up at 7:30 PM, but they came at 8:10 PM. Throughout that time, the tour organizers stayed in touch with us via WhatsApp. Initially, we had booked the trip for January 4, 2026, but closer to the evening we were informed about a possible cancellation due to sea waves, with the option to cancel or reschedule for the next day. We chose to reschedule. On the ship, everything went well: service and show program. We didn’t like that only couples were seated at separate tables, while the rest of us — including us — were placed at long tables, sitting shoulder to shoulder with strangers, although some people might actually enjoy that. The appetizers were served in small dome-shaped portions arranged on a plate, along with a vegetable salad in a separate bowl. My family didn’t like the meat and chicken kebabs, but my sea bass was delicious. The evening ended with a mini disco featuring an energetic saxophonist. Besides him, we were entertained with national and ballroom dances, and a dervish demonstrated his art. Thank you.

What incredible delight I experienced from the Bosphorus cruise! It is one of the most beautiful places in magnificent Istanbul 😍 It was my first time traveling alone, and I decided to book this excursion on the Sputnik website (also for the first time) — and I didn’t regret it at all! The booking process was very easy and convenient, and the confirmation came almost immediately. The ticket was sent to my email, which was very convenient. The email also provided detailed instructions on how to get to the meeting point. I would like to express special thanks to the guide through whom I booked the tour. I was very nervous about traveling completely alone, but I immediately relaxed and felt safe thanks to the high professionalism of my guide. When I boarded the ship, I felt unreal excitement! I was escorted to my table right by the stage 🤩 While other guests were taking their seats, a girl was playing the violin in the background 🥹 Appetizers and drinks were offered right away. When the ship left the pier, an incredible show began! Live music, live performances by a talented singer in different languages! I was pleasantly amazed! There were also various dance performances, artist shows, a saxophone performance — I even danced! The staff was very attentive; seeing that I was alone, they invited me to the upper deck and showed me the magnificent view of the Bosphorus and the famous bridge 😍 I truly immersed myself in a Turkish fairy tale! I definitely recommend the Bosphorus cr...

The excursion was excellent! The ship was large, new, and beautiful. By the time we were invited to our table, the appetizers had already been served. For the main course, we could choose fish, meat, or chicken. The sea bass was very tasty. There was also a performance and a disco at the end. Very fun and interesting. Definitely worth the money 100%. If you go directly to the pier, the price will be higher than booking here.

Great dances by wonderful young Turkish dancers and a nice disco at the end of the tour for those who wanted to dance. Everything was at a high level. Many thanks to the organizers.

An amazing evening with wonderwul musical accompaniment. Stunning views of night Istanbul from the ship’s deck. At our request, everything was specially arranged for us (it was my husband’s birthday). Huge thanks to the organizers and performers!

We absolutely loved everything — the food was delicious, the views were beautiful, and the show program was fantastic! There was dancing and live saxophone music. There is a full restaurant on board. The cruise lasted about 2.5 hours.

It was a good tour. Not tedious. Even more like just a transfer than an excursion. We saw the Princes' Islands and had a walk through them. Have a nice lunch.

Good organization, beautiful views, in my opinion, not very well allocated time, the largest island needs more time. There was not enough information.

Thanks for the trip to the Princes' Islands! Everything went well and comfortably!

An interesting trip for those who want to take a break from the noisy, vibrant Istanbul. The islands have a quiet, measured life, lots of seals and seagulls. Each island is interesting in its own way. We had 45-60 minutes to explore each island, which was quite enough. There were no problems with the transfer, they were picked up from the hotel on time, ferry crossing, and return. Guides accompanied each stage, explained, and answered questions. Overall, the tour is very good, but I would recommend it to those who have already seen almost everything in Istanbul.

A lot of interesting things were picked up and brought from the hotel. We saw 3 islands. Very beautiful. The team was great. We were entertained and fed on the ship. I RECOMMEND IT!

I would like to note that this is not a full-fledged tour, but rather an organized transfer. We read the reviews and expected exactly this, so we were ready and satisfied. The road is very scenic, and every island is charming. I want to walk, explore the quiet streets and soak up the tranquility of the place itself. Many complained that they didn't give enough time on small islands, but in my opinion it was just the right time for a sightseeing tour. The lunch was simple, but satisfying enough.

Minus one thing, there was little time for walking on the first island (only an hour and a half). We need more time!!

A quiet and cozy place to relax your soul, contrasts with the hustle and bustle of Istanbul.

Overall, the tour was not bad, beautiful views, friendly guide. But for such a price, you shouldn't expect much from this tour. In fact, you are traveling on a ferry with a huge number of strangers, as I understand it, they were also people with a tour, but from different parts of the world. The description of the tour on the website is incomplete, as it turned out, there was an opportunity to swim in the sea, which we did not know about. The lunch included in the price is quite good, but the simplest. Overall, I liked it, but only because of the beauty around it, it overshadowed all the shortcomings of this trip.

A great island tour, a very competent and attentive guide. Stunning nature, beautiful views. Be sure to take an electric bus ride to the highest point on the big island and then there will be a gradual descent on foot with a guide who will show and tell you many interesting facts about the island and its inhabitants.

It is very pleasant to walk on the islands, beautiful houses, lots of flowers and greenery. I wish they had given me more time to go to a small island, because there is an equipped sandy beach right by the pier, but there was little time to relax there. The lunch is hearty. We were pleased with the guides on the ship, entertained from the bottom of our hearts.

The boat trip is pretty good, but 3 hours of free time on the island is not enough for the beach, and there is a lot for walking around the island. There are no special excursions! They brought it , showed it, and took it away!

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.

Unique experience with tasty snacks and knowledgeable explanations.

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!

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

This was a nice sunset cruise with narrations of the scenery and buildings that we saw along the way. For myself the mosques and minarets in the sunset was worth the trip alone. I got some amazing pictures on this tour, and also had some fresh in season fruit and some amazing baklava.

Excellent service, friendly and helpful staff, a beautiful evening with a view of the Bosphorus. Everything is enchanting

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

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. ;)

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

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.

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.

Trust me this is the cheapest private (not government boat) you can find in Istanbul 2 hours on bosphorus with tea or coffee all for free? Wow!

For the price — top-notch. Free tea/coffee on board, beautiful views.

A very nice tour on a beautiful, comfortable boat at a pleasant price. It allowed us to enjoy the sea scenery and views of magnificent local landmarks. I would happily go again.

Excellent tour, spacious boat, caring staff — there are guides speaking all popular languages. As soon as I stumbled in English, They served delicious tea during the trip. I will recommend it.

Excellent tour, great weather. The audio guide is a bit “light,” but it comes with a map marking each site linked to an audio track.

For the price, the cruise along the strait is more than justified!

We really enjoyed the tour! Everything was very convenient, they explained and helped with everything. A very beautiful two-deck yacht with several areas (open and enclosed). There is tea, coffee, and food. Overall 10/10. Plus, you sail along both the European and Asian sides of Turkey, which allows you to see almost all of Istanbul)))

A beautiful golden sunset over the Bosphorus! We managed to take many amazing photos. The audio guide was simple and clear. The crew worked flawlessly.

A very cool tour, easy to understand in any language with the help of the audio guide. We had a very pleasant experience!

For a pleasant price we got a comfortable boat with an open deck and the opportunity to admire the sights from the bow. The audio guide doesn’t provide a lot of information, but it’s enough to understand what is located where. It would be nice to have a continuous playback option instead of switching from point to point on the website each time. We went on a rainy day and unfortunately couldn’t sit on the upper deck because all the seats were wet and there was no canopy. However, we could drink hot tea for free on the lower deck. Overall, it’s a good option to see the shores of Istanbul at an affordable price and learn something new. Honestly, we didn’t listen to everything — we were just enjoying the moment.

Beautiful views, periodically accompanied by commentary (you can also download the audio guide to your phone via the boat’s Wi-Fi) in various languages. On the first deck there are hot drinks (tea, coffee) included in the ticket price, and snacks and instant noodles are sold as well. A good tour, . I recommend visiting 👍

We enjoyed the boat trip. The boat has two decks: open and enclosed. Free hot tea and coffee were offered. The audio guide was available in several languages.

I really enjoyed this boat trip even though it was quite cloudy. Staff was very friendly and the audio guide was very informative. Initially we missed our original booking due to Istanbul traffic (dont take the buses), but we were offered to go the next day withouth any extra charge so special thanks for that and being flexible.

Great sunset tour - totally worth it ! Try to go early so you get the best seats on the boat. seat on left hand side (facing forward) as shore and attractions are on that side.

The boat tour was incredible! The attention was excellent, and the explanation throughout the trip was very clear and informative. Highly recommended!

It was amazing! Simply worth every penny. I would recommend it to anyone. We did not order any food but we had the hot drinks. The service was 10/10. The view is magnificent and definitely worth the price. Bring a jacket and scarf as it gets chilly in the deck. There is also an indoor sitting area if you wish to keep yourself warm. The view was very nice. Instructions were clear too.

The boat and the staff were absolutely incredible! Everything was perfectly organized, and the audio descriptions were fantastic—they really brought everything we were seeing to life. The views of the Bosporus and Istanbul were breathtaking, making the entire experience unforgettable. We loved every minute of it and highly, highly recommend it! 🌟🚤

The overall cruise experience was awesome, travelled about an hour each way, got to see a different view of the major buildings, voice over (english) would speak a little about each building as we got close to it. Free tea and coffee on the boat, food was offered too but I didnt eat anything. I saw other people have drinks too. There was seating inside and outside, 3 levels for the outside and 2 for the inside with good views wherever you were seated. It was a good experience, if you are in Istanbul for a short time or want to get your bearings.

the personal are really nice and the beverages are a plus! highly recommend it!

Fatih took care of us. He is very nice, good with kids, helpful and friendly. The boat cruise was a great experience and would recommend to others.

The best thing was the topic of our tour- archetecture accent of the guide. The tour was simply magnificent if you thing of valye for money. Nice boat with free turkush tea and prices for snaks were very good. if some ody needs to see Istambul in short time- this Bospbor tour is the best thing to start with- no traffic and amazing views. we had only one day in Istanbul and were very happy that we picked this Cruise. Staff was very polite!

A brilliant cruise. 2 hours to see all the main sights. We picked with dinner and that was a great decision. There were 3 courses and all high quality food with generous portions. Plenty of included drinks and a very friendly waiter.

First of all, the activity provider was very accommodating thanks to Fatih. We missed the time, but he offered us to do it the next day at no extra cost. The cruise itself focused on the architecture on both the European and Asian sides of the Bosphorus. It was a nice touch.

Burak made the dinner and party very pleasant and confortable. hés doing his job very well 🙏ak

Really funny night. The service was incredible and our waiter Hasam was a legend!

Our waiter was so generous, kind and friendly. Very professional and thoughtful. Thank you so much for making this experience so special!

Wonderful evening with Bosphorus view, dinner and passionate Turkish music and dances :)

It was the best time we had in Istanbul!! the driver picked us up on time from our hotel. On the ship everyone of the stuff was very helpful and kind. we enjoyed a full menu with great tastes and an amazing show with great dancers. we highly recommend it!!

amazing service and really took care of our family. shout oht to cruise members especially chef ahmet. recommended!!

It was a nice tour with very good guys we could also buy an album with photos, we loved it and we took it

we really like the transport that took us to cruise, we love the food and performance we have a lovely evening

Everything was perfect, we really enjoyed our trip! We recommend to everyone ❤️

We joined the dinner cruise as a group of 12 and honestly had an amazing night. Everything was organized well from start to finish. The service was fast, friendly, and very attentive to our group. The dance performances were fun and energetic, and the live music created a great atmosphere throughout the night. The best part was definitely the Bosphorus view — seeing Istanbul lit up at night from the water was truly beautiful and made the whole experience unforgettable. Our entire group enjoyed it and we had a great time together. Overall, it was a wonderful experience with good food, great entertainment, and fantastic views. I would definitely recommend this cruise to anyone visiting Istanbul

Riham has been incredibly helpful since the very beginning of our cruise. She guided us and assisted with everything we needed. The experience on the ship has been amazing, we especially loved the night show with the professional dancers and the delicious food. Everything was perfect, and we truly enjoyed our time on board!

Very nice tour, good food & music. Thanks to Reham for the guide. ❤️

Convenient starting point, as it is close to public transport stops and easy to get to. Dinner with starters, main course and dessert, including tea and drinks – a fair price, although the quality is not the best. It would be nice to have a guide so we could get explanations about the route and the highlights; it would be better to book the shows after dinner. Approximately 2.5/3 hours on the cruise; overall, acceptable value for money; a pleasant evening.

We had such a great time, the cruise was so good, a lot of dancers and so much fun.

I had a very pleasant experience on the Bosphorus cruise with dinner and show. The food was good, the atmosphere was lovely, and the show was very enjoyable and entertaining. At the end there was also a mini disco, which made the evening even more fun. It’s an experience I would definitely recommend!

Great evening with nice food. Dancers were amazing. Mert was our waiter was very friendly and helpful.

What a perfect experience! The service was on another level, the ride was right on time, and the food was incredible. The show was the highlight - absolutely amazing. A big thanks to everyone for making it so special!

All activities were good. The troupe was talented. Food was delicious, boat was spacious, music was great. Loved it.

Turkish show was nice, the route of the boat is quite short and due to time it was circling in front of the harbour more than half an hour in the end, would have been better to drive a longer distance to see more from the city.

An evening that I will not soon forget. Thank you for the wonderful time spent on your ship!! great walk on the Bosphorus, the city at night is a story, food is 10, the atmosphere created by dance, show

Excellent dinner with a really incredible musical program in a clean and beautiful boat. The food was a lot of, and the taste was delicious. The staff was very kind and polite.

Excellent service. Must try, appreciate blake for an awesome service.

This is a must do on your trip to Istanbul! The start of the journey was smooth and seamless. The team on board was also very approachable and friendly especially Mr. Blake. Totally worth every penny! Also, if you are looking to book with them in winters, feel free as it wasn’t very cold and was in fact very pleasant.

The entertainment was classic cruise ship fun! Thank you very much! The food and alcohol were freely flowing

It was a amazing journey, Hospitality in the yacht was good. Value for money. Mr. Yasir and team did a great job. Appreciated.

The guide was very kind and the rest of the staff as well. The small group size was optimal for seeing the sites. Overall a great experience and I highly recommend.

We’d like to share our impressions of the trip — it was simply amazing! 🤩 We booked the tour online, which allowed us to save almost half the price compared to buying the same tour from the shore. I went on both tours just a few days apart, so I can compare them. Our trip was on a comfortable yacht, with only 8 people in the group (probably because it’s not the high season in December). The guide met us exactly at the scheduled time. The wonderful Hasan offered snacks — nuts, cookies, fruit, tea… He literally said: “Dear guests, relax, lie down, dance, enjoy yourselves.” 😊😊 The audio guide told us about the sights. I highly recommend the time slot we chose — 16:15. This way, during the trip you can see magnificent Istanbul in sunlight, at sunset, and when the city lights come on at night. An unforgettable experience! ❤️

Amazing Bosphorus boat tour! Hassan was an incredibly kind and attentive guide, making everyone feel very welcome and cared for, always on top of every detail. The cruise itself was exceptional, with beautiful views and a very relaxed atmosphere. Honestly, the price was too low for such a great experience – outstanding value and highly recommended!

Our tour guide Kaeir was very cool, telling us all about the historical landmarks and stories. It is also low season so the entire yacht had only about 10 people. Plenty of tea, cookies and fruit.

Best option with food and ground floor front deck seats is best place to enjoy couldn't recommend more

The cruise along the river was beautiful, and the snacks were plenty to hold us over until dinner. They even provided information along the cruise, which was a nice touch

It was a top experience! They gave us snacks and the staff were amazing! I recommend it!

Well spent money! The guide and crew were very friendly and informative. Great views during sunset. Highly recommended!

Wonderful activity! It was SO worth the price and more- and Kadir was an excellent guide! This was the highlight of our trip

Smooth sailing from Kabatas to Rumeli Castle and back. I booked just a few hours before, no problem. There were about 20 people in total and still plenty of room. Most of the sites you'll see and have explained are on the European side. The guide was knowledgeable and friendly. The snacks (nuts and fruit) plus tea were filling. The value for the price is worth it.

Great experience. Togba was a really nice person and very helpful. Highly recommended!

The guide Tubga was lovely, very attentive, always checking you was ok,,even went as far when the cruise finished she personally took us where we could get a taxi, got us a taxi and spoke to the driver to make sure we got back to our hotel. From start to finish we was kept informed and even when I messaged them because we was lost they said stay where you are and we will come and get you (after pinning my location).

The cruise was very well organized. The team made sure I didn’t miss the trip — they even called to confirm everything, which I really appreciated. The tour itself was smooth and relaxing, with beautiful views and a comfortable atmosphere. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a pleasant and stress-free experience!

I really enjoyed this trip! It was the best cruise I’ve ever had in Istanbul😍 totally recommend!!

Incredible. The boat is small, and we were lucky that there were only 5 people on the trip. We had the whole of the front of the boat to ourselves (so romantic)! Drinks and snacks are provided. The staff are friendly, especially the lady, I forgot her name 😭

We had an incredible yacht experience, and a big part of that was thanks to Topa Bozmose. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, from her warm hospitality to her attention to detail throughout the trip. Her professionalism, friendly attitude, and genuine care truly elevated the entire experience. We couldn’t have asked for better service. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a memorable and well-taken-care-of yacht experience!

Suma was very helpful onboard keeping everybody well fed and watered, and making sure the app with audio guide worked for us. Thank you Suma 😊

awesome experience! great view with even greater service. our guide, tuba, was very accommodating and friendly. she took nice photos, and offered us blankets so we were able to sit at the front of the yacht comfortably in the cold weather. super recommended~

GREAT ACTIVITY, loved it they don’t fill up the boat too much and the staff are great. We even spotted dolphins. Your definitely thinking if this is worth it or go for the normal ferry, did both and do this honestly the best thing we did in Istanbul the pictures say it all!

We had a wonderful boat trip! The boat was beautiful, spacious, and very new — we really enjoyed it. We were offered snacks, fresh fruits, tea, and coffee, which made the experience even nicer. The staff was amazing very kind and professional and we were really satisfied with everything. A special thank you to Tugba Bozmese, who took great care of us,she was wonderful, and we truly recommend her and this trip!

I took a Bosphorus Sunset Cruise in Istanbul today, and the experience was absolutely wonderful. The service was excellent and highly professional from the moment of boarding to the time we returned. We were offered fresh fruits, snacks, and drinks everything was perfect. A special mention to Tuba, whose attention and kindness were exceptional. She is a highly competent professional who made the entire experience truly unforgettable. Thank you so much, Tuba! I’ll definitely recommend this sunset cruise to all my friends when they visit Istanbul.

I had the pleasure of taking the Bosphorus Sunset Cruise in Istanbul, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The yacht tour provided stunning views, from the Old Town to Dolmabahce Palace and Maiden Tower — absolutely breathtaking. The service was exceptional, with fresh snacks, fruits, and drinks provided throughout the journey. A special thank you to Tugba, our guide, whose warmth, energy, and professionalism made the cruise even more enjoyable. She took amazing photos, ensured we were all comfortable, and shared interesting insights about the sights along the Bosphorus. Her kindness and enthusiasm really stood out and added a personal touch to the experience. I highly recommend this cruise to anyone visiting Istanbul. It’s a perfect way to see the city’s splendor from the water while enjoying great service and a relaxing atmosphere. 5/5 stars!

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.

The program matched the description. Everything went wonderfully.

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.

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!

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.

Very enjoyable trip in a clean, comfortable, not crowded boat. The refreshments were perfect and very well received and the crew were helpful and well informed. The wee stopover on the Asian side of the Bosporus was what it was. It was very brief but ticked a box and the yoghurt sold by the wee café really was delicious. There was just enough time to buy a pot of yoghurt or an ice cream and then we were off again. The only thing I would change was the music which for me personally, was a bit too loud and obtrusive. Other than that, it was a pleasant way of seeing the Bosporus and the Golden Horn. I would recommend this excursion.

I’m so glad we booked this tour! It’s a great way to orient yourself to Istanbul and enjoy going to the Asian side. Lots of snacks!

Luxurious yacht, snacks and tea after embarking, tour guide commentary for coastal landmarks, enjoyable landing and side trip to yogurt cafe in Asia, then smooth sailing back to Europe. Great way to experience the beauty of Istanbul and it’s unique waterway.

We are blown away! It was a fantastic trip, well organized and generous with tea, coffee, sandwich, water, apple slices, nuts, Turkish delights! Beautiful yatch experience. Commentary was informative and humorous. Highly recommend

It is a 2 hour tour on both sides of the Bosphorus (the European and the Asian ones) with a live guide showing the most important points of interest. There was only a small group of people and we had a half an hour stop on the Asian side where we got the chance to taste some local delicious yoghurt. Our guide, Murat, was excellent, giving us the right amount of information and anecdotal facts so as to make the tour interesting but not overwhelming. All staff on board were very polite and helpful. Highly recommended!

Good value cruise with small number of guests. Covers most of the key sights along the Bosphorus. Can be a little windy so be prepared, particularly in the spring months when things are a little cooler. Very informative commentary.

Exzellent, very good guide, correct service. Ship convinient. Times had been hold. Nice experience! Q

A really good cruise with a small group which allowed everyone to a good choice for seating. Although, the snacks that was served was nice, I would say served as a taster portion and the fruit plater was 3 small pieces of a peach. The service throughout was friendly. Do keep checking your messages from tour/curise ompany as we received a message 2 hours before our booked time to say where to meet which was a different part of the port which wS futher away to what our original booking stated. This was okay for us as we had the flexibility in our day to accept the change. All in all, we would definitely recommend this cruise.

A great experience from start to finish. John was at the port when we got off the lcruise ship and we took a short ride to the pier and got on the yacht. A beautiful 2 1/2 hour ride up and down the Bosphorous including a stop in Asia would highly recommend. Great communication with the company.

"There were three vessels pull into the dock at the same time and there was some chaos allocating guests to each boat. This led to a slightly delayed departure and the snacks and drinks all came round more or less immediately, when it would’ve been nicer to have these staggered throughout the trip. The stop on the Asian side was nice, although there was no time to explore other than the immediate port area, which consisted of a busy café and not much else. The commentary from the tour guide was very basic, but the views more than made up for this. If you are lucky with the weather, this is a great trip. "

The phosphorus river cruise was a great experience. The boat was large, clean and comfortable. The crew provided exceptional service. Great and plentiful snacks. The information they provided about the historical landmarks was exactly the right amount. We also enjoyed making a stop on the Asian side of Istanbul.

Greit value for the money.Very frendly personal The guid profesional. Thanks for this nice .exoerience

Guide was good. Yacht was below expectations. Istanbul was awesome. Yacht crew was friendly. Sunset timing was perfect.

This Yacht cruise on the Bosphorus in Istanbul was one of the highlights of our week. The yacht was beautiful and accommodating. The staff was incredible with excellent information shared from the tour guide throughout the experience. There were good snacks provided along with water and juice and the opportunity to purchase wine and other drinks. The small group was great. We were blessed with beautiful weather and a gorgeous sunset. It was all fabulous.

What a wonderful cruise! Boat was perfect - only about 30 onboard. We were on upper level / half inside, half outside making for excellent photo ops. Staff wonderful - special shout out to Emre and Nahad. Emre served the perfect amount of light snacks and drinks. Emre shared history & details on the sights as we passed them. Very laid back & relaxed. Excellent views. Truly the perfect Bosphorous cruise.

Absolutely excellent. Great communication, fantastic service, and the tour guide spoke excellent English and Spanish. A must-see adventure for your time in Istanbul - there is no better way to see the city.

The Sunset cruise was very good and we enjoyed overlooking the whole Bosphorus- really nice experience !

This was a perfect introduction to Istanbul without having to contend with crowds of people and at a leisurely pace, being introduced to the city. Stunning sunset was a bonus

Great tour - friendly, helpful, enjoyable. Boat tour narrator informative and funny. He also provided great restaurant recommendations to escape tourist traps in Sultanahmet area. Highly Recommended!

Great experience, wonderful staff and services. Luckily, it was not raining and windy as the day before and after. We took awesome sunset photos!

Everyone was so nice and welcoming. Wonderful narrative of the Bosphorus and great service. Water, lemonade, tea, baklava, nd fruit included. Cocktails extra. And blankets for a cool night breeze.

Excellent experience. Very professional staff and great job by our guide. Great sunset votes. We had an awesome time. Highly recommended!

Spectacular, great knowledge of history and locations. Great way to see only a small part of the city from the water.

Beautiful cruise through the Bosphorus Straight. Good snacks, juice and water. Beer available. Gave us a menu but never came back for our order. Gave us blankets that really was a nice touch as it cooled down when the sun set. We couldn’t really hear our guide but we were outside. I would have liked to hear a little more in the history we were cruising by, but didn’t go inside! Overall we had a great time and would do it again.

Thanks to the organizers! The transfer is clearly timed. The show program and disco are great! The menu is very tasty fish! The Bosphorus at night is beautiful! Be sure to make a wish when you sail under the bridge - to return to Istanbul once more!

It's very tasty, a wonderful program, dancing songs, in general it's a lot of fun, I'm already visiting for the second time, I recommend it.

Good organization. We were picked up from several hotels by a mini bus. There was a very positive escort who was with us on the ship later, as well as a good driver. Everything is clearly organized on the ship. The ship was beautiful. Very clean, new. The service staff works perfectly, dirty dishes are immediately cleaned, new dishes are quickly brought. They ask about the hot food in advance, you could choose fish, chicken, beef or pasta with sauce. From dessert, everyone received a small cookie in honey for free, but for a fee you could order a fruit plate and cakes. The performance is excellent, the guys are also working 100%. There were national Turkish dances, belly dancing. For the last half hour there was a disco with European and Turkish songs. A photographer works on the ship, in fact, then you decide for yourself whether to take a photo or not. Additional money is needed (but this is optional) for photos, alcohol, dessert. They were taken back to the hotels in an orderly manner. I highly recommend this guided tour.

Thanks for the tour. Pros, good organization, transfer, show, service, ship, interior. Cons: we didn't sail under the Bosphorus Bridge, but we really wanted to, there was no dessert, tea, or coffee. (Unless, of course, you count 2 pieces of apple and orange each)

Everything is well organized, both the transfer and the event itself on the ship.

I can simply say that I advise everyone, you won't regret it. The advice is to get ready for a photo shoot, the pictures are just great. The entertainment and service are top notch.

The evening was great. They were picked up from the hotel and returned. Delicious dinner, 2 glasses of wine or beer each . The show program is extensive, we danced with the actors. I recommend

I liked the program, especially if it's my first time in Istanbul. A very clear organization of the transfer from the hotel and back. I wanted to underestimate the estimate, since the original start time was set at 19-30. A little cunning of the organizers, but the negative impression was smoothed out.

We really liked the organization of the event, the entertainment program, the dinner, and the festive atmosphere. I'm impressed! Thank you!

It's just great, I recommend it to everyone, it's a great program.

It's an amazing adventure across the Bosphorus. Istanbul evening is beautiful. The food was delicious, the service was top-notch. I liked the entertainment program, it was a fascinating sight. We had time to dance a little. I recommend this tour.

Everything was really great, a very cheerful atmosphere and delicious food.

I really enjoyed the trip. A huge yacht that can comfortably accommodate 10 people. Comfortable seats upstairs. We took on four people. Perhaps the most vivid impressions of Istanbul.

We really liked it, the captain is a very cheerful and pleasant person. When we are still in Istanbul, we will definitely return.

Only positive emotions: The yacht is spacious, you can have at least 10 people and no one will be crowded, we saw all the significant sights, well, it's very beautiful. The captain is a cheerful and cool person, plus he gave us all the dishes for drinks and chilled drinks. We advise everyone. Thanks for the tour.

A very beautiful and unforgettable trip on the waves of the Marmara Sea. Unfortunately, time flew by quickly. But we even saw a dolphin.

Captain Metin showed kindness and hospitality on his yacht! He talked about the places we passed by! I treated them to tea and coffee during the tour.

The views are amazing. What to say Istanbul is a beautiful city. A walk together, what could be better.

I liked everything very much, both the yacht and the communication.

Excellent service, for a reasonable price, everything went great, I recommend it.

We decided to go for a yacht ride last night. We quickly agreed, we were met. Everything was great, the staff was cheerful and courteous. The yacht is large and comfortable. Everyone liked everything, I recommend it.

Great weather and a walk, we were lucky and the whole yacht was just for our family.

We are thrilled! The boat is excellent and the guide! We were lucky even with the weather, thank you!!!

All was fine, I really liked everything and I really liked the guide too! Thanks!

I really liked it, thank you! The yacht is good. I liked the transfer too.

Thank you very much! Everything is organized perfectly, very friendly and pleasant people participate. If I find myself in Istanbul again, I will definitely take another yacht trip.

Excellent fast organization. The yacht is gorgeous. Everything is clear on time. I recommend it!

Excellent service and staff on the yacht, the condition of the yacht, snacks.

It was well organized, they helped with the audio guide, but it had to be turned off because there was information on the upper deck.

I liked the boat trip. The ship has 2 decks: open and closed. Free hot tea and coffee were offered. The audio guide was in different languages.

I really enjoyed the tour! Everything is as convenient as possible, everything was suggested and helped. A very beautiful two-storey yacht with several areas (open and closed territory). There is tea, coffee and food In total 10/10. Plus, they sail through the entire European and Asian parts of Turkey, which allows you to see almost the whole of Istanbul.

Beautiful views, periodically accompanied by a story, you can download an audio guide to your phone via the ship's Wi-Fi, in different languages. There are hot drinks (tea, coffee) included in the ticket price on the ground floor, as well as snacks, noodles in glasses and other snacks. A good tour, I recommend you to visit.

A very good excursion on a beautiful comfortable boat at a pleasant price. It allowed you to enjoy the seascape and views of magnificent local attractions. I would love to swim again.

Great boat trip. Tea is free, and he talks briefly but informatively about the sights. 2 hours is enough to explore Istanbul from the water. I recommend.

For a pleasant price, we received a comfortable boat with an open deck and the opportunity to observe the sights from the bow of the ship. There is not much information on the audio guide, but it is enough to have an understanding of where and what is located geographically.

A great tour, a spacious motor ship, caring staff - there are guides who speak all popular languages. They provided delicious tea on the way. I will recommend it.

A wonderful cruise! A beautiful comfortable boat. The Bosphorus was impressive. Tea and coffee for free is excellent! Everything is great! I recommend.

A very cool tour, it will be understandable in any language with the help of an audio guide, we got a very pleasant impression!!!

We had an amazing time. Excellent organization, all responsive and attentive. Thanks! It was cool! Everything would be even better if the windows on the enclosed deck did not fog up. It was cold and damp outside and everyone was sitting on the closed deck.

I liked the tour. The price was reasonable and there was a guide.

Wonderful experience! The yacht was cozy and luxurious at the same time. Great for both family outings and a small group of friends.

Very friendly captains – they greeted us, offered tea and coffee, allowed us to play our own music and even steer the yacht. We were very pleased, thank you!

Fantastic experience! We felt completely taken care of by the crew. Delicious food and drinks ordered in advance made the trip extra special.

The views of the historical neighborhoods and mosques were spectacular. Loved cruising past the Egyptian Bazaar and feeling the fresh sea breeze.

The cruise was relaxing and very well organized. Loved the flexibility in timing and duration — we could enjoy the ride at our own pace.

Amazing combination of sightseeing and relaxation. The boat was clean, spacious, and well-maintained. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Istanbul.

Excellent service and attention to detail. The team helped us plan everything perfectly. Istanbul from the water is a completely new perspective.

The team made our trip effortless and enjoyable. From start to finish, everything was seamless, and the scenery along the Bosphorus was breathtaking.

Highly recommend this experience! The yacht was clean, modern, and comfortable. The Bosphorus scenery is simply breathtaking. Crew was courteous and professional.

Truly unforgettable! Watching the sunset while cruising past Topkapi Palace was magical. Crew was polite, helpful, and ensured everything ran smoothly.

Perfect way to celebrate a birthday! The yacht was elegant, the crew attentive, and the sunset over the Bosphorus was magical. A truly memorable experience.

We enjoyed every minute of the yacht tour. The crew was welcoming, and the boat was well-equipped. Perfect combination of leisure and sightseeing.

Fascinating look at both the European and Asian sides of the Bosporus with commentary and a short stop on the Asian side to sample some authentic Turkish yogurt. We also enjoyed some small snacks, Turkish tea, & Turkish coffee along the way.

The staff on board were warm and welcoming. The yacht was beautiful and the cruise felt like a little taste luxury.

Great trip along the Bosphorous! Learned several things about the history of different buildings on both the European and Asian side. Fun crew, great snacks too!

"A wonderful and relaxing Bosphorus morning cruise! The views were stunning, the pace was calm, and the food was excellent—fresh fruit, bagel sandwiches, Turkish delights, and drinks made the experience feel extra special. The guide and crew were informative, funny, and incredibly engaging with everyone on board, including a toddler traveling with another family. The short stop on the Asia side of Istanbul was a highlight, especially getting to try some really good Turkish yogurt. We went as a family with two teenage boys, and they were fully engaged and enjoyed every part of the cruise. Highly recommend this experience for families or anyone wanting a laid-back and memorable way to see Istanbul from the water!"

Very fun knowledge crew. We had a wonderful time with a small group enjoying the views of the Bosphorus

The staff members were very friendly. Tour guide shared interesting historical information along the way. Refreshments were provided with the option to purchase spirit drinks.

Great experience! Very easy to navigate and follow and book, the tour guides were very helpful and it was very easy to find everything especially the meetup points. They were very good at communicating and explained the history well. It was cold so they provided blankets and warm tea and lots of snacks. Everyone was very hospitable and inviting. Would definitely recommend this tour, the boat was also wonderful and the group size was perfect.

This was a very well organised trip, from before we were collected we were informed by WhatsApp of the exact vehicle picking us up (photos too) to how we were treated through the 2.5 hour trip. From stepping onto the boat we were given drinks and snacks and throughout the trip we received more drinks and snacks. Nahed gave commentary throughout the trip and she obviously knows her stuff, very informative and lovely and friendly; all the staff on board were. Highly recommended trip.

Great tour. The guide was knowledgeable, the staff were friendly, the boat ride was great, they even gave out drinks, blankets, and snacks. Highly recommend.

The tour gave us a much better perspective on greater Istanbul, away from the major tourist spots. The tour included some nice snacks, tea and coffee, which we appreciated as we had missed lunch. The woman who narrated the tour was very good with impeccable English.

The boat is beautiful and very comfortable. It is a lovely way to see the sights of the city and view both continents. We enjoyed it very much.

Very nice way to see this beautiful city. Away from the large crowds with a different perspective. Nice service on the boat and informative guide.
