Excellent and pleasant experience absolutely recommended for those traveling to Istanbul even just a few days. It allows you to combine the moment of dinner with something more special: the excellent service from start to finish: they took care to contact us already days in advance to agree on the time and place of the pick-up, with direct and immediate communication, even with the driver. Impeccable and on time transfer service. The frugal but typical Turkish dinner served at the right times and the show was pleasant and fun!

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.

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!

Amazing katamaran style yacht, with an attentive crew and great guide. We enjoyed two hours of amazing views of the Bosphorus with a historical overview being narrated by our experienced guide. We enjoyed a good fish and meat dinner at sunset while admiring the eclectic beauty of private mansions along the banks of the Straight. We were also able to connect our phone to a big Bluetooth speaker so that we could have our very own soundtrack for this private cruise. I definitely recommend!

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.

"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.

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!! :)
