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.

Hicimos el paseo de 2 dias por Isrambul. Nuestra guia Kubra nos acompaño los dos dias por los distintos sitios, con explicaciones claras y contestando a las multiples preguntas que haciamos en un español correcto. Ha sido una compañia util y muy agradable. Ha tenido en cuenta nuestras sugerencias e intereses (visitas no incluidas y lugares para comer). En el precio no esta incluida ninguna entrada (topkapi, cisterna, Dormebache, torre galata) ni transporte (tranvia, barco bosforo)

Excellent organization - the guys described the meeting place on the embankment in detail, picked us up, put us on the yacht without delay. The yacht is comfortable and comfortable, and you can stay anywhere - inside, in the control room above, even on the bow. They were treated to fruits, nuts, coffee, and rolls. It's an interesting walk, it's very beautiful around, my wife and daughter and I brought a lot of cool photos and videos with us. The guys are very friendly, and the places are very beautiful. I recommend it, especially in good weather.

This would be a great cruise if you are a smoker, which I am not.. There is no designated smoking area and lots of people were smoking all over the ship, upwind from other passengers. In fact, I felt like I had smoke in my face the whole time, no matter where I moved. Even the captain and crew smoked unabatedly upwind from guests. This pretty much ruined the beauty of the experience. Otherwise the information given, and music played was fine. The food seemed okay, but I lost my appetite from all the smoking. Seriously, if you are going to allow smoking, have a designated area at the back of the boat.

The boat is big and very spacious. The staff is very friendly. This is a perfect cruise for day time of dinner or for sunset or even a lazy afternoon for the whole family. It’s very conveniently located. Please book directly from the site to avoid missing out the seats.

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.
