Very enjoyable trip in a clean, comfortable, not crowded boat. The refreshments were perfect and very well received and the crew were helpful and well informed. The wee stopover on the Asian side of the Bosporus was what it was. It was very brief but ticked a box and the yoghurt sold by the wee café really was delicious. There was just enough time to buy a pot of yoghurt or an ice cream and then we were off again. The only thing I would change was the music which for me personally, was a bit too loud and obtrusive. Other than that, it was a pleasant way of seeing the Bosporus and the Golden Horn. I would recommend this excursion.

Good value for money. The boat is clean and the food is acceptable. Our waiter was very attentive. I had two glasses of wine, and the alcohol was truly unlimited. Considering the price of alcoholic drinks in Istanbul, this was a bargain. The show was also very nice and entertaining, especially the belly dancer. I even have some really funny pictures of her with my teenage son—nothing inappropriate, just pure fun.

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.

Convenient starting point, as it is close to public transport stops and easy to get to. Dinner with starters, main course and dessert, including tea and drinks – a fair price, although the quality is not the best. It would be nice to have a guide so we could get explanations about the route and the highlights; it would be better to book the shows after dinner. Approximately 2.5/3 hours on the cruise; overall, acceptable value for money; a pleasant evening.

Had an amazing experience on the yacht tour. Easy to purchase the tix online. The luxurious pick up and drop vehicle was very comfortable and convenient as it picked us up and dropped us off from our hotel. The guide was very knowledgeable and spoke Spanish and 4 other languages. The on board food and beverages were elegant and delicious but pricy alcohol (bring your own) Would defined recommend this amazing private tour!! :)

Beautiful experience. Super attentive and attentive waiter, he pampered us a lot, he also helped us put the jacket on. Discreet food and really fun and very very nice entertainment. Having heard Bella Ciao gave an extra touch to this experience. Between one course and another we were on the upper bridge to see the landscape .. what about the very punctual transfer. Advise!

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!
