Istanbul at sunset is a fairy tale!!!! It's not a long, very easy and enjoyable tour. We just swam, admired the views, ate fruits, nuts, snacks. We had a very pleasant time, and then admired the sunset and Istanbul in the evening lights.

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.

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!

we liked the service. however the voice on the guide couldn't pronounce the name of the sultans & pasha's which was disappointing. wish it was a Turkish person who did the voice over. otherwise everything else was amazing!

A wonderfully coordinated experience from start to finish. Everything ran seamlessly: from the meeting point to the cruise itself and the return. The guides arrived early to organize participants and check lists, and since we were a large group, we were divided between two yachts. The cruise was fantastic, with engaging live commentary filled with interesting insights. The onboard service was excellent, and the light snacks provided were delightful. The stopover was equally enjoyable, I grabbed some yogurt and browsed a few charming artisanal pop-up stalls. Overall, it was a memorable outing that I’d happily recommend.

Great way to spend 2 1/2 hours during our first trip to Istanbul. There were 24 guests on the boat but there was room to spread out and the staff gave everyone individual attention. Beautiful sightseeing of both sides of Istanbul from the river. Snacks (fruit, nuts, sweets) were included in the price of the ticket. Drinks were extra. Highly recommend

We’d like to share our impressions of the trip — it was simply amazing! 🤩 We booked the tour online, which allowed us to save almost half the price compared to buying the same tour from the shore. I went on both tours just a few days apart, so I can compare them. Our trip was on a comfortable yacht, with only 8 people in the group (probably because it’s not the high season in December). The guide met us exactly at the scheduled time. The wonderful Hasan offered snacks — nuts, cookies, fruit, tea… He literally said: “Dear guests, relax, lie down, dance, enjoy yourselves.” 😊😊 The audio guide told us about the sights. I highly recommend the time slot we chose — 16:15. This way, during the trip you can see magnificent Istanbul in sunlight, at sunset, and when the city lights come on at night. An unforgettable experience! ❤️

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.

What a lovely way to spend a couple of hours relaxing on a cruise. The organisation was terrific, the ship sails at a leisurely pace and commentary is provided on the dominant sights along the Bosphorus.
Would highly recommend to all travellers to Istanbul.
