The best thing was the topic of our tour- archetecture accent of the guide. The tour was simply magnificent if you thing of valye for money. Nice boat with free turkush tea and prices for snaks were very good. if some ody needs to see Istambul in short time- this Bospbor tour is the best thing to start with- no traffic and amazing views. we had only one day in Istanbul and were very happy that we picked this Cruise. Staff was very polite!

I really enjoyed the tour. Nice yacht. The Azan presenter is a very pleasant, friendly young man. The captains were also on top. It got cool, and they offered blankets. Treats- sliced fruit, buns, nuts- delicious, beautifully set. Azan courted me, offered me tea and coffee, and the language barrier didn't even bother me. Great music, beautiful views. I was with my daughter for 18 years, she was delighted.Thanks for the lovely walk.

I had the pleasure of taking the Bosphorus Sunset Cruise in Istanbul, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The yacht tour provided stunning views, from the Old Town to Dolmabahce Palace and Maiden Tower — absolutely breathtaking. The service was exceptional, with fresh snacks, fruits, and drinks provided throughout the journey. A special thank you to Tugba, our guide, whose warmth, energy, and professionalism made the cruise even more enjoyable. She took amazing photos, ensured we were all comfortable, and shared interesting insights about the sights along the Bosphorus. Her kindness and enthusiasm really stood out and added a personal touch to the experience. I highly recommend this cruise to anyone visiting Istanbul. It’s a perfect way to see the city’s splendor from the water while enjoying great service and a relaxing atmosphere. 5/5 stars!

Convenient starting point, as it is close to public transport stops and easy to get to. Dinner with starters, main course and dessert, including tea and drinks – a fair price, although the quality is not the best. It would be nice to have a guide so we could get explanations about the route and the highlights; it would be better to book the shows after dinner. Approximately 2.5/3 hours on the cruise; overall, acceptable value for money; a pleasant evening.

Good value cruise with small number of guests. Covers most of the key sights along the Bosphorus. Can be a little windy so be prepared, particularly in the spring months when things are a little cooler. Very informative commentary.

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.

The meeting point was easy to find, and the group size was manageable. The boat is beautiful and very comfortable, and the crew takes great care of you from the moment you get on the boat. The guide was very knowledgeable. The stopover is very short, but fun and allowed an opportunity to be on the Asian continent.

The guide was especially considerate of our kids and even arranged pizza for them, which made them so happy. That extra care and attention to detail really made a difference. Overall, a fantastic experience and highly recommended!
