Excellent service, people are very nice thanks to chef Ahmed for his hospitality I highly recommend it ! This sunset was also beautiful we really enjoyed it !

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.

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.

This was a great experience. Had great communication over WhatsApp on where to meet and when with helpful tips on using public transportation. The tour was enjoyable with a knowledgeable guide and attentive staff. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Over the top service by our tour guide who walked us to the metro afterwards and instructed us on how to get back to our hotel. Great experience!

Turkish show was nice, the route of the boat is quite short and due to time it was circling in front of the harbour more than half an hour in the end, would have been better to drive a longer distance to see more from the city.

It was amazing! Simply worth every penny. I would recommend it to anyone. We did not order any food but we had the hot drinks. The service was 10/10. The view is magnificent and definitely worth the price. Bring a jacket and scarf as it gets chilly in the deck. There is also an indoor sitting area if you wish to keep yourself warm. The view was very nice. Instructions were clear too.

Excellence in every way. Satisfaction guaranteed. If because of tight schedule you only do this one cruise, you will leave Istanbul with a smile on your face. Seeing the city by night from the Bosporus is amazing! Very recommendable. The organization, the food and the entertainment was awesome.

Wonderful views, tea, coffee, fruits, nuts are served on the boat. Friendly guys, taking pictures, telling us that we are sailing, but in English. You can take food on board. We were lucky with the weather, in the evening I advise you to take something warm with you, a hoodie, a light jacket, although there were blankets on the boat. Thank you very much.
