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.

Luxurious yacht, snacks and tea after embarking, tour guide commentary for coastal landmarks, enjoyable landing and side trip to yogurt cafe in Asia, then smooth sailing back to Europe. Great way to experience the beauty of Istanbul and it’s unique waterway.

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!

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.

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.

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.

"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. "
