My husband and I and our 2 teenagers took a sunset cruise down the Bosporus. Booking online was easy, we were sent the details of where to meet by WhatsApp and the boat was as described. There were a total of around 30 people on the cruise. On board we were provided with water, orange juice and some snacks including baklava, which was very nice. You could also buy alcoholic drinks. The cruise was a great way to see many of the key sights along the river and helped us get our bearings. We enjoyed ourselves and would highly recommend the trip!

Overall good experience, good organization, good staff. One caution: if the driver doesn’t come to pick you up by the appointed time, call the information phone number. We missed our scheduled cruise for that reason but they rescheduled. Also, pickup is designed for hotel guests so if you’re not in a hotel, also call the info number to arrange pickup. I think this event was a good value for the price.

GREAT ACTIVITY, loved it they don’t fill up the boat too much and the staff are great. We even spotted dolphins. Your definitely thinking if this is worth it or go for the normal ferry, did both and do this honestly the best thing we did in Istanbul the pictures say it all!

Had a great seat at the front, then plenty of opportunity to move around for pics as cruise went on. Nice snacks, friendly crew, just enough narrative about the sights. Best bit was sunset return into Istanbul.

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!

The overall cruise experience was awesome, travelled about an hour each way, got to see a different view of the major buildings, voice over (english) would speak a little about each building as we got close to it. Free tea and coffee on the boat, food was offered too but I didnt eat anything. I saw other people have drinks too. There was seating inside and outside, 3 levels for the outside and 2 for the inside with good views wherever you were seated. It was a good experience, if you are in Istanbul for a short time or want to get your bearings.
