I was very good outing for me and my family as we are new to the country and mainly the language was the bigger loss we are not sure about the location and couldn't communicate with someone with the public in English. Otherwise we enjoyed the trip.

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

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.

It is a 2 hour tour on both sides of the Bosphorus (the European and the Asian ones) with a live guide showing the most important points of interest. There was only a small group of people and we had a half an hour stop on the Asian side where we got the chance to taste some local delicious yoghurt. Our guide, Murat, was excellent, giving us the right amount of information and anecdotal facts so as to make the tour interesting but not overwhelming. All staff on board were very polite and helpful. Highly recommended!

Incredible. The boat is small, and we were lucky that there were only 5 people on the trip. We had the whole of the front of the boat to ourselves (so romantic)! Drinks and snacks are provided. The staff are friendly, especially the lady, I forgot her name 😭

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.

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.

Kemal our organiser was really helpful, responded instantly. The entertainment was lovely and the crew we had was excellent. Luckily the weather was nice so we was able to get some great pictures from the open top deck. Definitely worth the experience if you want to see Istanbul at night.

What a wonderful cruise! Boat was perfect - only about 30 onboard. We were on upper level / half inside, half outside making for excellent photo ops. Staff wonderful - special shout out to Emre and Nahad. Emre served the perfect amount of light snacks and drinks. Emre shared history & details on the sights as we passed them. Very laid back & relaxed. Excellent views. Truly the perfect Bosphorous cruise.

The tour was well organized, the guide explained all the places we passed by during the cruise. It did get very cold but, thankfully the team offered us blankets and tea. ;)

"The boat turned up on time. Plenty space.
It was a wet and overcast day so boat had covers and we stayed dry.
Went up and down both sides of lake, saw 2 bridges and everything in between.
Snacks were ok. Drinks fine. Alcohol is extra. Arrived back on time"

What an experience. The best way to see Istanbul. We were picked up in an amazing yacht and taken along the European and Asian coastlines of the city. The crew couldn’t have been more attentive and friendly, providing us with wonderful hospitality. It is great to be able to see all the sights from a different angle that you wouldn’t appreciate if just walking. We had a lovely sunny day which made it even better. Highly recommended.
