A wonderful excursion. The daytime Bosphorus tour is much better than the nighttime one. Excellent guides. During the tour, they told us about all the sights along the entire strait. We also went ashore on the Asian side for a walk. Tea and cookies were served on the boat. Everything was great!

A wonderful excursion. The transfer picked us up from the hotel and brought us back — everything went smoothly (I was worried at first, but it really went perfectly). The tour starts at 16:15, which is a plus: you listen to the guide while it’s still light, and on the way back you enjoy the beautiful evening city.

Everything was great: we were met at the hotel and escorted to the bus. We had to stand during the ride, but the driver drove carefully. On the boat, they didn’t refuse tea even though I asked for it much earlier than scheduled. The views from the Bosphorus were stunning — we took lots of photos.

We enjoyed the excursion! The guides provided commentary, and everything was convenient. Since it was cool, after the main part we stayed inside the boat. We also went ashore on the Asian side of Istanbul to buy souvenirs or have dinner. Thank you!

It was an excellent excursion. We were picked up from the hotel and taken to the boat. The views of Istanbul from the boat were absolutely beautiful. During the break, we were treated to tea with cookies. We spent a full hour walking around the Asian side of Istanbul and saw the Bosphorus at sunset.

Excellent organization of the entire trip. Bilingual guides told us about the history of each landmark along the route, and the views from the ferry were absolutely stunning! I took dozens of photos and videos during the cruise. A pleasant bonus — tea and cookies on board. Many thanks, and I sincerely recommend it! 10 out of 10.

The cruise left positive impressions. Guide Olga spoke about the history of the places we passed with interest and enthusiasm. Tea and cookies were served. The quality of the tour fully matches the stated price.
