The overall cruise experience was awesome, travelled about an hour each way, got to see a different view of the major buildings, voice over (english) would speak a little about each building as we got close to it. Free tea and coffee on the boat, food was offered too but I didnt eat anything. I saw other people have drinks too. There was seating inside and outside, 3 levels for the outside and 2 for the inside with good views wherever you were seated. It was a good experience, if you are in Istanbul for a short time or want to get your bearings.

The boat and the staff were absolutely incredible! Everything was perfectly organized, and the audio descriptions were fantastic—they really brought everything we were seeing to life. The views of the Bosporus and Istanbul were breathtaking, making the entire experience unforgettable. We loved every minute of it and highly, highly recommend it! 🌟🚤

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.

Great sunset tour - totally worth it ! Try to go early so you get the best seats on the boat. seat on left hand side (facing forward) as shore and attractions are on that side.

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.

A brilliant cruise. 2 hours to see all the main sights. We picked with dinner and that was a great decision. There were 3 courses and all high quality food with generous portions. Plenty of included drinks and a very friendly waiter.

First of all, the activity provider was very accommodating thanks to Fatih. We missed the time, but he offered us to do it the next day at no extra cost. The cruise itself focused on the architecture on both the European and Asian sides of the Bosphorus. It was a nice touch.
