Amazing Bosphorus boat tour! Hassan was an incredibly kind and attentive guide, making everyone feel very welcome and cared for, always on top of every detail. The cruise itself was exceptional, with beautiful views and a very relaxed atmosphere. Honestly, the price was too low for such a great experience – outstanding value and highly recommended!

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.

Fantastic experience, and Osmar was an unbelievable waiter that just made our experience that much more valuable. Such a great service! Great food as well. On board you’ll find a professional photographer that at the end of the cruise will leave you a photo album of your portrait for an extra cost. The entertainment is good, but the best is the view from up top. Loved it

The tour gave us a much better perspective on greater Istanbul, away from the major tourist spots. The tour included some nice snacks, tea and coffee, which we appreciated as we had missed lunch. The woman who narrated the tour was very good with impeccable English.

It is a 2 hour tour on both sides of the Bosphorus (the European and the Asian ones) with a live guide showing the most important points of interest. There was only a small group of people and we had a half an hour stop on the Asian side where we got the chance to taste some local delicious yoghurt. Our guide, Murat, was excellent, giving us the right amount of information and anecdotal facts so as to make the tour interesting but not overwhelming. All staff on board were very polite and helpful. Highly recommended!
