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.

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.

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.
