Tours & Excursions in Istanbul

Nice evening, relaxing, it's a shame there wasn't a children's menu with fries/meat or burgers...

All very well organized. Very attentive waiters, I never had my glass empty for more than 1 minute. The food can be improved but it's not bad at all. The show a 10! In the end we all ended up dancing!! You can always go up on deck to take some photos with very top views!!!

Amazing experience and the snacks provided were absolutely delicious. Best tour of the Bosphorus that is available.

awesome experience! great view with even greater service. our guide, tuba, was very accommodating and friendly. she took nice photos, and offered us blankets so we were able to sit at the front of the yacht comfortably in the cold weather. super recommended~

Wonderful experience, the show and food was amazing I enjoyed it a lot.

Activity was amazing! Lots of performances, great views and the food was filling! our waiter was amazing!

Smooth sailing from Kabatas to Rumeli Castle and back. I booked just a few hours before, no problem. There were about 20 people in total and still plenty of room. Most of the sites you'll see and have explained are on the European side. The guide was knowledgeable and friendly. The snacks (nuts and fruit) plus tea were filling. The value for the price is worth it.

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.

Probably the best choice while in Istanbul. Loved it!

the entertainment was entertaining. the food was very nice and excellent staff. it was ridiculously good value for money

All activities were good. The troupe was talented. Food was delicious, boat was spacious, music was great. Loved it.

I liked the program, especially if it's my first time in Istanbul. A very clear organization of the transfer from the hotel and back. I wanted to underestimate the estimate, since the original start time was set at 19-30. A little cunning of the organizers, but the negative impression was smoothed out.

I went on the boat with a terrible migraine and ended up getting seasick. Gökhan, Nursah and Can took such good care of me. I wish that I had been fit enough to enjoy the snacks and views that the tour offered.

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.

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.

I highly recommend this yacht trip in the sunset hours from 6 p.m. It seems to me that the evening views of Istanbul from the Bosphorus will not leave anyone indifferent!

Excellent service and attention to detail. The team helped us plan everything perfectly. Istanbul from the water is a completely new perspective.

I really enjoyed this boat trip even though it was quite cloudy. Staff was very friendly and the audio guide was very informative. Initially we missed our original booking due to Istanbul traffic (dont take the buses), but we were offered to go the next day withouth any extra charge so special thanks for that and being flexible.

Spectacular, great knowledge of history and locations. Great way to see only a small part of the city from the water.

This was a great tour. The sunset views were pretty. The tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Snacks and drinks provided as stated. I would recommend 100%.
