Tours & Excursions in Istanbul

A wonderful trip! It's a beautiful show! Delicious food!

This is a must do on your trip to Istanbul! The start of the journey was smooth and seamless. The team on board was also very approachable and friendly especially Mr. Blake. Totally worth every penny! Also, if you are looking to book with them in winters, feel free as it wasn’t very cold and was in fact very pleasant.

I’m so glad we booked this tour! It’s a great way to orient yourself to Istanbul and enjoy going to the Asian side. Lots of snacks!

Great tour that was well arranged. Transportation was clearly communicated and our guide was friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating to our needs. The tour was informative and well organised. The places we visited were interesting and lunch was delicious. Highly recommended!!

Lovely boat, really nice staff, great tour guide. Blankets available once the temperature dropped. Sunset was beautiful

I had the pleasure of taking the Bosphorus Sunset Cruise in Istanbul, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The yacht tour provided stunning views, from the Old Town to Dolmabahce Palace and Maiden Tower — absolutely breathtaking. The service was exceptional, with fresh snacks, fruits, and drinks provided throughout the journey. A special thank you to Tugba, our guide, whose warmth, energy, and professionalism made the cruise even more enjoyable. 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. It’s a perfect way to see the city’s splendor from the water while enjoying great service and a relaxing atmosphere. 5/5 stars!

Beautiful scenery. Crew was great. Nice snacks and service. Very informative guide.

This cruise was a fantastic idea! Even though it was chilly and windy, the views were absolutely stunning!

Not sure how they offer the service at the price they do. Was very pleased with the day out. Excellent value for money.

We really enjoyed this cruise. Staff friendly and helpful and good commentary. Refreshments served on board and we were well looked after. Just one thing to mention on getting there. The instructions for the meeting place were somewhat chaotic. We had to ask where we were meant to be and were told where and said someone with Valena board would be there - they weren’t. In the end we went to the ticket office and they weren’t about to call Velana when a guy suddenly walked past and they flagged him down. When we got back onto the hotel WiFi later I had a what’s app with a different meeting place. If this had been sent the day before I would have got it. I had no access to the Turkish internet and didn’t get it. Please remember this for tourists and send communications the day before, not on the day which was completely useless for us. I feel we found the boat by luck only.

The entertainment when we had it. The DJ did a great job with the music. That got everyone up and dancing after the belly dancer.

We would like to thank the waiter who served us for the excellent service. He was very polite, attentive, and quick to help with anything we needed. Thanks to him, we had a very pleasant experience on a yacht with a beautiful view.

Great tour. The guide was knowledgeable, the staff were friendly, the boat ride was great, they even gave out drinks, blankets, and snacks. Highly recommend.

Great experience, wonderful staff and services. Luckily, it was not raining and windy as the day before and after. We took awesome sunset photos!

The boat ride was beautiful and very private.

Thanks for a great excursion! Everything is organized at the highest level. Istanbul at sunset is wonderful !!

Cruising along the Bosphorus has been a unique experience! The boat is very comfortable, with plenty of space, and the service on board is great.

It was a wonderful night and I would do it all over again. The pick up was jusg a little bit late because of the traffic but once we were there they got us our table , we payed for better table to be able to see the show. The fopd was maybe average but we didn’t go there because of the food. The views at night are magical, the show was incredible and it kept us entertained! I would do it all over again

Boat was very nice. Crew was pleasant and courteous. We got some nice general info about Istanbul and what we were seeing, but the main thing is just enjoying the scenery and you can do that on other boat tours for less money. It was a nice tour, but next time I would opt for a cheaper ride.

Nice, comfortable and informative Bosphorus cruise. The guide, Robert is very informative. You get a chance to take some breathtaking sunset pictures. Sunset views of the city are incredible.
