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.

Our tour was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The meeting point and communication were seamless, and we had the flexibility to optimize the tour to our preferences. The service, quality, and luxury were top-notch, making the experience truly special. Exploring Istanbul at midday, with its vibrant and shining atmosphere, was unforgettable. Great experience at a great price—highly recommended!

We joined the dinner cruise as a group of 12 and honestly had an amazing night. Everything was organized well from start to finish. The service was fast, friendly, and very attentive to our group. The dance performances were fun and energetic, and the live music created a great atmosphere throughout the night. The best part was definitely the Bosphorus view — seeing Istanbul lit up at night from the water was truly beautiful and made the whole experience unforgettable. Our entire group enjoyed it and we had a great time together. Overall, it was a wonderful experience with good food, great entertainment, and fantastic views. I would definitely recommend this cruise to anyone visiting Istanbul

Excellent organization - the guys described the meeting place on the embankment in detail, picked us up, put us on the yacht without delay. The yacht is comfortable and comfortable, and you can stay anywhere - inside, in the control room above, even on the bow. They were treated to fruits, nuts, coffee, and rolls. It's an interesting walk, it's very beautiful around, my wife and daughter and I brought a lot of cool photos and videos with us. The guys are very friendly, and the places are very beautiful. I recommend it, especially in good weather.

Perfect! Especially I loved our guide, Jay, who was extremely friendly and enthusiastic and knows almost everything about Istanbul. The transport from/to hotel was really good and safe, yacht comfy, and we even receive some snacks and sweets, and also lemonade and great Turkish tea. There also is a chance to buy anything from the bar. Overall, great experience.

The yacht tour provided stunning views, from the Old Town to Dolmabahce Palace and Maiden Tower — absolutely breathtaking.

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.
