I highly recommend this tour! It match the description. Our guide Can gave good information, and his English was very good. The boat was clean and the food was great. The time was perfect to watch sunset.

Delightful evening, perfectly timed to see the sights with the sun up and to watch the sun set and turn the old city orange.

Great tour with Göckan and the rest of the crew! You really get to learn a lot about the city and with great views. It's also a nice little escape from the busy city for a few hours where you can reIax with the sea air. I would definitely do this tour again if I come back to Istanbul!

I went on the boat with a terrible migraine and ended up getting seasick. Gökhan, Nursah and Can took such good care of me. I wish that I had been fit enough to enjoy the snacks and views that the tour offered.

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.

They do what they promise in the description. It was a very nice experience and a pleasant time on the ship. You got to see the city of Istanbul from various angles including the sunset and the golden horn. At the End you got to hear the Muezzins of all mosques while cruising along the Galata bridge. Perfect Timing! But better be early! They don't have much time for docking!

The tours was terrific and I would highly recommend it! The crew and Jello were so attentive and kind and served us with delicious treats cheerfully! We had a bowl of nuts each a selection of sweet and savoury baked goods a little selection of fruit and tea. We opted to buy a glass of wine and beer which were normal prices. Jello gave a great commentary and with humour ( ask about Galata Tower!) . We learnt a number of new things. The length of the trip was great. We did the sunset tour and they waited near the end so we could see Istanbul bathed in a golden coat. Great photo opportunities. The yacht was very comfortable. They gave us blankets in case we got cold. There was plenty of room for great snapshots from different angles. There is a lot of building work around that area. They gave great directions where to meet but we missed the sentence that said look on the other page and saw the meeting place was marked on a map. I would highly recommend this trip.
