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.

"An excellent tour. We didn't regret taking it. The guide has a great sense of humor. Informative information. It helps you get to know Istanbul better and look at the main attractions, especially if you don't have time to delve into the details of history on your own.
A very informative program, a professional guide, everything was enjoyable, I recommend it!"

We had a great time on the cruise. The organization was perfect. We chose the hotel transfer option, we were informed on the pick-up time via Whatsapp message and the driver picked us up from the hotel on time. Our waiter was very attentive, our glasses were never empty. He also showed us the best photo spot and took a picture of us. The food was delicious and varied. The performance was really good (both singers and dancers) and we can only recommend this dinner cruise.

The food is delicious and the volume is satisfactory. I was happy that Turkish wine and liquor were all-you-can-drink. There are so many kinds of shows that you don't have time to look outside. If you have something you want to see, such as buildings on both sides, you will have to be careful. There is Shisha as an option, but sales are not so persistent.

It was a beautiful boat cruise and we enjoyed it a lot. I was very impressed by the transportation services provided to us. I have used before too and their customer service is exceptional. The only reason I am giving 4 stars is that the entertainment was not that great

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.

Had an amazing experience on the yacht tour. Easy to purchase the tix online. The luxurious pick up and drop vehicle was very comfortable and convenient as it picked us up and dropped us off from our hotel. The guide was very knowledgeable and spoke Spanish and 4 other languages. The on board food and beverages were elegant and delicious but pricy alcohol (bring your own) Would defined recommend this amazing private tour!! :)

Beautiful sea, dolphins. The islands have a different way of life and houses despite their proximity to the mainland. For a change, if your feet are tired from walking tours, you can take a trip.

This tour is suitable for everyone. We went with a group for fun, and now we want to go as a couple for a romantic experience. You must go!

We boarded the ship as one of the last groups. We thought we would be sitting in a not-so-great spot. But it turns out a separate table had been reserved for us, next to the panoramic windows, which was a pleasant surprise. The party was a success.
