A great tour, a spacious motor ship, caring staff — there are guides who speak all popular languages. They provided delicious tea on the way. I will recommend it.

We had an amazing time. Excellent organization, all responsive and attentive. Thanks! It was cool! Everything would be even better if the windows on the enclosed deck did not fog up. It was cold and damp outside and everyone was sitting on the closed deck.

For the price, the cruise along the strait is more than justified!

Excellent tour, great weather. The audio guide is a bit “light,” but it comes with a map marking each site linked to an audio track.

Beautiful views, periodically accompanied by a story, you can download an audio guide to your phone via the ship's Wi-Fi, in different languages. There are hot drinks (tea, coffee) included in the ticket price on the ground floor, as well as snacks, noodles in glasses and other snacks. A good tour, I recommend you to visit.

We really enjoyed the tour! Everything was very convenient, they explained and helped with everything. A very beautiful two-deck yacht with several areas (open and enclosed). There is tea, coffee, and food. Overall 10/10. Plus, you sail along both the European and Asian sides of Turkey, which allows you to see almost all of Istanbul)))
