The cruise was truly enjoyable. We appreciated being picked up close to our hotel in a very comfortable car. Our guide was quite informative and very helpful. We also appreciated the snacks—sweets, nuts, and fruits—which was a thoughtful gesture. The views were breathtaking, especially during the sunset, and everything looked so beautiful. We would gladly recommend it!

Perfect! Especially I loved our guide, Jay, who was extremely friendly and enthusiastic and knows almost everything about Istanbul. The transport from/to hotel was really good and safe, yacht comfy, and we even receive some snacks and sweets, and also lemonade and great Turkish tea. There also is a chance to buy anything from the bar. Overall, great experience.
