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.

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.

"There were three vessels pull into the dock at the same time and there was some chaos allocating guests to each boat. This led to a slightly delayed departure and the snacks and drinks all came round more or less immediately, when it would’ve been nicer to have these staggered throughout the trip. The stop on the Asian side was nice, although there was no time to explore other than the immediate port area, which consisted of a busy café and not much else. The commentary from the tour guide was very basic, but the views more than made up for this. If you are lucky with the weather, this is a great trip. "

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.

"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!"
