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.

Very enjoyable trip in a clean, comfortable, not crowded boat. The refreshments were perfect and very well received and the crew were helpful and well informed. The wee stopover on the Asian side of the Bosporus was what it was. It was very brief but ticked a box and the yoghurt sold by the wee café really was delicious. There was just enough time to buy a pot of yoghurt or an ice cream and then we were off again. The only thing I would change was the music which for me personally, was a bit too loud and obtrusive. Other than that, it was a pleasant way of seeing the Bosporus and the Golden Horn. I would recommend this excursion.

The phosphorus river cruise was a great experience. The boat was large, clean and comfortable. The crew provided exceptional service. Great and plentiful snacks. The information they provided about the historical landmarks was exactly the right amount. We also enjoyed making a stop on the Asian side of Istanbul.

A great experience from start to finish. John was at the port when we got off the lcruise ship and we took a short ride to the pier and got on the yacht. A beautiful 2 1/2 hour ride up and down the Bosphorous including a stop in Asia would highly recommend. Great communication with the company.

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!

"This was a great tour on the Bosphorus. The meeting place was easy to find and the boat was very clean, comfortable, and not too crowded. Our guide was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of information about the sights along the Bosphorus. He also had a good sense of humour! The snacks and drinks provided were great. There was an option to buy alcohol on board too if you wanted. Prices seemed reasonable. The stop in Kanlica is quite short but there's not a lot to see/do, so it's fine. We bought the kanlica yogurt and some ice cream. The guide took us to a place he recommended and they were ready to serve up the yogurt/ice cream very quickly, so i recommend following the guide rather than getting your own!"

Good value cruise with small number of guests. Covers most of the key sights along the Bosphorus. Can be a little windy so be prepared, particularly in the spring months when things are a little cooler. Very informative commentary.
