It was a wonderful night and I would do it all over again. The pick up was jusg a little bit late because of the traffic but once we were there they got us our table , we payed for better table to be able to see the show. The fopd was maybe average but we didn’t go there because of the food. The views at night are magical, the show was incredible and it kept us entertained! I would do it all over again

A really good cruise with a small group which allowed everyone to a good choice for seating. Although, the snacks that was served was nice, I would say served as a taster portion and the fruit plater was 3 small pieces of a peach. The service throughout was friendly. Do keep checking your messages from tour/curise ompany as we received a message 2 hours before our booked time to say where to meet which was a different part of the port which wS futher away to what our original booking stated. This was okay for us as we had the flexibility in our day to accept the change. All in all, we would definitely recommend this cruise.

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.

We had the best experience ever with Yasin! He did a phenomenal job showing us all of Istanbul & giving us history lessons on all the areas we went too. We also got to skip the long lines for tickets which saved us so much time! He also took us to a incredible restaurant with authentic Turkish cussine! I highly recommend this for anyone trying to see Istanbul in one day!!

The guide Tubga was lovely, very attentive, always checking you was ok,,even went as far when the cruise finished she personally took us where we could get a taxi, got us a taxi and spoke to the driver to make sure we got back to our hotel. From start to finish we was kept informed and even when I messaged them because we was lost they said stay where you are and we will come and get you (after pinning my location).

Riham has been incredibly helpful since the very beginning of our cruise. She guided us and assisted with everything we needed. The experience on the ship has been amazing, we especially loved the night show with the professional dancers and the delicious food. Everything was perfect, and we truly enjoyed our time on board!

This was a nice sunset cruise with narrations of the scenery and buildings that we saw along the way. For myself the mosques and minarets in the sunset was worth the trip alone. I got some amazing pictures on this tour, and also had some fresh in season fruit and some amazing baklava.
