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.

Fantastic small yacht tour. The captain kept the boat close to the shore and you could see all of the sights up close. Great service from the crew and very good snacks

We had a lovely trip. It’s so worthwhile doing a smaller group tour as there was plenty of space on the boat. The guide was also where we were told to meet. Friendly host and guide. Highly recommend

Definitely need to go on this dinner cruise if you’re looking for great food and hospitality with a flare of entertainment! The dinner cruise turned into a club quickly after all the dancers got off the floor hahahaha!! Great way to spend a few hours with a significant other as well as enjoy these types of moments.

Good organization. We were picked up from several hotels by a mini bus. There was a very positive escort who was with us on the ship later, as well as a good driver. Everything is clearly organized on the ship. The ship was beautiful. Very clean, new. The service staff works perfectly, dirty dishes are immediately cleaned, new dishes are quickly brought. They ask about the hot food in advance, you could choose fish, chicken, beef or pasta with sauce. From dessert, everyone received a small cookie in honey for free, but for a fee you could order a fruit plate and cakes. The performance is excellent, the guys are also working 100%. There were national Turkish dances, belly dancing. For the last half hour there was a disco with European and Turkish songs. A photographer works on the ship, in fact, then you decide for yourself whether to take a photo or not. Additional money is needed (but this is optional) for photos, alcohol, dessert. They were taken back to the hotels in an orderly manner. I highly recommend this guided tour.

We’d like to share our impressions of the trip — it was simply amazing! 🤩 We booked the tour online, which allowed us to save almost half the price compared to buying the same tour from the shore. I went on both tours just a few days apart, so I can compare them. Our trip was on a comfortable yacht, with only 8 people in the group (probably because it’s not the high season in December). The guide met us exactly at the scheduled time. The wonderful Hasan offered snacks — nuts, cookies, fruit, tea… He literally said: “Dear guests, relax, lie down, dance, enjoy yourselves.” 😊😊 The audio guide told us about the sights. I highly recommend the time slot we chose — 16:15. This way, during the trip you can see magnificent Istanbul in sunlight, at sunset, and when the city lights come on at night. An unforgettable experience! ❤️

Awesome activity. now some details - they allowed us to come next day, as we reached late on our scheduled date, with the same ticket. i have seen videos saying ferry can replace cruise, but certainly not. snaks are drinks are also good and totally value for money
