It was really nice experience in Bosporous. It was a sunset cruise and the snacks and drinks were complementary. It was a small group tour in Yacht and would recommend this to anyone.

Unsafe bow end boarding (my partner fell against the anchor) and the commentary was difficult to understand as we were on the upper deck relying on a cheap speaker which was echoing with the one below. The crew was pleasant and served snacks throughout the cruise but we came away with no additional knowledge of the area due to the technical issue mentioned above.

We had a wonderful time with Golden City Tours on this sunset cruise. The boat was clean and comfortable. The crew was very accommodating and welcoming. Along the way, a guide pointed out landmarks and places of interest. He gave historical facts and context also. The tour was great. I highly recommend it.
