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.

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.

The best thing was the topic of our tour- archetecture accent of the guide. The tour was simply magnificent if you thing of valye for money. Nice boat with free turkush tea and prices for snaks were very good. if some ody needs to see Istambul in short time- this Bospbor tour is the best thing to start with- no traffic and amazing views. we had only one day in Istanbul and were very happy that we picked this Cruise. Staff was very polite!

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.

It was amazing. During journeys they served water, tea and coffee. 2 hours long trip was outstanding. Down floor was fully heated in winter. I will strongly recommend.
