Extremely well organised. With plenty of food, beautiful views and varied dance and musicals, the cruise was beautiful and a must do in Istanbul. There are photographers too onboard and they will print a personalized photo album for you if you would like to buy. However that seemed to be on the pricier side and we didn't buy it. Pickup and Drop at the hotel was hassle free and very timely

It was a good for information about the architecture and history of the area. However, the motor yatch was a little short on the luxury and it smelled like cats were in residence at night. Having said that the crew was great and kept us plied with snacks and drink.

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.

Our group in the yacht was quite small. So a lot of space to move around and plenty of photo opportunities. Our guide is excellent, giving us very good details of the sights along the way. Overall, the cruise is very comfortable.

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!
