We had an amazing experience on the Sunset with Lunch tour in Istanbul. The transfer arrived exactly on time, and everything was very well organized from beginning to end. The guide was extremely friendly and gave a very lively and interesting explanation throughout the tour. The views during the sunset were absolutely beautiful, and the lunch was delicious as well. We really enjoyed the atmosphere on the boat and the overall service quality. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Istanbul!

Amazing sunset cruise experience in Istanbul! Everything was perfectly organized from the hotel pickup to the boat tour itself. The views of the Bosphorus during sunset were absolutely breathtaking, and the atmosphere onboard was wonderful. The staff was very friendly, the food was delicious, and the live guide explanations made the tour even more interesting. Watching the sunset between Europe and Asia was unforgettable. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Istanbul!

The cruise was lovely ! We really enjoyed it. Pick up was great but after the cruise , the guide wasn’t nowhere to be seen and didn’t pick up my call. He hadn’t given us any information of where to wait or go. When l eventually found someone , she started shouting at us and left us with a different guide who advised us to go back on the tram.

It was excellent! Great value for money! One of the best tours I've taken in Istanbul! We were very well received, and we sat at a table next to the window! The boat glides smoothly through the Bosphorus with a great atmosphere. We received our audioguides, which worked very well! The entire tour was very informative about what we were seeing. The food was great! Upstairs there is a very nice area with sofas and tables. I recommend it! Be sure to take this tour!
