The communication was good and the pick up times were well communicated. The transportation was also good. On the boat, there is plenty of entertainment and our waiter was attentive. The food however, is not the best, it was rather disappointing. The wine and the beer was also not the best. So improvements can be made on the culinary experience.

A great option for seeing the Bosphorus at night, though the focus is more on dinner and dancing. I would only recommend people bring extra cash, in case a photographer offers to take a picture, and keep in mind you’re on a boat - seasickness is entirely possible, so if you don’t know how good you are on a boat, take pills just in case, and bring a warm jacket to go outside and enjoy the scenery.

"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.

The cruise was excellent. We were picked up on time from the hotel and transported to the port. The boarding was smooth and quick. The starters are pre served on the table and order for mains were taken by the server. The evening was entertaining, packed with various shows and dances. The meals and drinks were good. Highly recommend this activity provider.

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.

Fantastic day with Çağlar in Italian. Tour at Aya Sofia and Sulejmani mosque with interesting explanations and anecdotes. Saw the Grand Bazaar It helped us a lot to orient ourselves and what to do in Istanbul. Optimal!

Great way to start off a vacation in Istanbul. You get to see different points of interest along both sides of the bosphorus. The tour is done by an actual person, not a recording. There was enough room to sit comfortably and move around. The hosts were very accommodating, providing plenty of snacks and drinks. We even got to see a pod of dolphins. A beautiful view of the sunset. Definitely worth the time and money.

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.
