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 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.
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.
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!
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! :)
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.
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.
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.
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 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!
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.
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!
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.
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 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.
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 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 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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
We visited Istanbul’s main mosques and really enjoyed it. The guide was good. However, the boat trip was quite challenging — too crowded, and the tour took place during lunch… if you’re traveling with a child, much of the excursion happens past you. In the future, I will avoid tours like this.
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!
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.
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.
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 🌺
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!
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 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.
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.
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 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.
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!
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.
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!
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!
