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.

"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.

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. ;)

The staff and excellent service, very friendly and charismatic, also the guide who knows the history and good explanations. The bad thing that they did not comply with the Spanish language, everything was in English and another detail that when I returned they did not leave me at my hotel due to the traffic.

Lucie B.

Excellent experience from all points of view. The guidance in all languages is clear. The only advice for those who want to experience it is to absolutely bring warm, almost winter clothes, even in summer, otherwise you will not enjoy the journey on the bridge and you will have to see everything from the inside.

Yunis in his own words was perfect service. Just a perfect night although it didn't end until about midnight so if you've had a big day out young kids you'll need to consider this. Delicious food. Great scenery. Fantastic entertainment. Perfect service. A must do but transport is recommended - we didn't have it and the taxi was no good.

The dinner cruise was one of the best experiences we have ever had. The performances were awesome and what can I tell about the service? the hospitality was out of the world, the driver, waiters and every staff at the cruise experience were too good and made our night a memorable again. Surely coming here again when in Istanbul and will recommend to book this Cruise to everyone.
