From pick Up to drop off the whole tour was very well organised. The sights of Istanbul at night from the Bosphorus are breathtakingly beautiful. There is a taste of authentic Turkish culture served up with Swirling Dervishes and Traditional wedding dancing among the musical entertainment. And you can join in and enjoy live music that completes the evening. The food could have offered more variety but i think it being off season when i went, they maybe didn’t have the full array on offer. Apart from that one tiny hiccup, i would highly recommend this tour. It was an excellent evening and good fun was had by all.

"It was very nice to see the Bosphorus at sunset. There was a little wind in the evening hours. I would recommend it to everyone. The boat was a bit crowded, but it's normal in the summer season because everywhere is crowded.

"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!"

The trip was fun ,but inaccurate as it does not actually go to the Black Sea, but to the last bridge which was disappointing.The guide said the boat could not go into the BS, but this may not be true,maybe they got lazy,if they cannot enter the BS the this should be clearly stated.
