I took a Bosphorus Sunset Cruise in Istanbul today, and the experience was absolutely wonderful. The service was excellent and highly professional from the moment of boarding to the time we returned. We were offered fresh fruits, snacks, and drinks everything was perfect. A special mention to Tuba, whose attention and kindness were exceptional. She is a highly competent professional who made the entire experience truly unforgettable. Thank you so much, Tuba! I’ll definitely recommend this sunset cruise to all my friends when they visit Istanbul.

We really enjoyed the sunset cruise. Our lovely guide Tuba is superb. She took very good care of us during the 2 hours trip. She’s also a fantastic photographer. We would definitely recommend this trip to our friends.

GREAT ACTIVITY, loved it they don’t fill up the boat too much and the staff are great. We even spotted dolphins. Your definitely thinking if this is worth it or go for the normal ferry, did both and do this honestly the best thing we did in Istanbul the pictures say it all!

I really enjoyed seeing Istanbul from the Bosphorus and the boat and food were very good. The audio guide buffered and was quite frustrating so I decided just to enjoy the view and check my Google maps if I needed to know what I was looking at. It was a bit chilly so we were given blankets which was nice. k

We had an incredible yacht experience, and a big part of that was thanks to Topa Bozmose. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, from her warm hospitality to her attention to detail throughout the trip. Her professionalism, friendly attitude, and genuine care truly elevated the entire experience. We couldn’t have asked for better service. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a memorable and well-taken-care-of yacht experience!

The cruise was very well organized. The team made sure I didn’t miss the trip — they even called to confirm everything, which I really appreciated. The tour itself was smooth and relaxing, with beautiful views and a comfortable atmosphere. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a pleasant and stress-free experience!

Incredible. The boat is small, and we were lucky that there were only 5 people on the trip. We had the whole of the front of the boat to ourselves (so romantic)! Drinks and snacks are provided. The staff are friendly, especially the lady, I forgot her name 😭
