Jane M.
Great way to spend 2 1/2 hours during our first trip to Istanbul. There were 24 guests on the boat but there was room to spread out and the staff gave everyone individual attention. Beautiful sightseeing of both sides of Istanbul from the river. Snacks (fruit, nuts, sweets) were included in the price of the ticket. Drinks were extra. Highly recommend
Aysun B.
Amazing katamaran style yacht, with an attentive crew and great guide. We enjoyed two hours of amazing views of the Bosphorus with a historical overview being narrated by our experienced guide. We enjoyed a good fish and meat dinner at sunset while admiring the eclectic beauty of private mansions along the banks of the Straight. We were also able to connect our phone to a big Bluetooth speaker so that we could have our very own soundtrack for this private cruise. I definitely recommend!
Sara
Thank you for the fantastic organization. Delicious food, a great show, and a beautiful night in Istanbul!
David
We decided to do this trip based on the fact we wanted to do a boat tour of Istanbul and were too late book any of the morning trips. This was convenient as it started at 14:30, was two hours long and we had a great tour guide despite the windy weather. So it's worth doing if your tight for time and money. Only trouble was locating the meeting point which happen to be a travel tours shop by the tram station at Old town.
Andrea
The staff was very helpful in getting us to the boat. The guide was very knowledgeable and communicated well several different languages. Met some very interesting and friendly passengers.
Micah W.
This trip is really good value for money we highly recommend it. We were met straight away by the tour organisers and we were given really good advice about the food offerings on the boat . The speed of the boat was so relaxing. All in all it was a really nice experience.
Lana
Trust me this is the cheapest private (not government boat) you can find in Istanbul 2 hours on bosphorus with tea or coffee all for free? Wow!
Jenny
Fantastic experience- Pick up was on time. Food was amazing and plentiful and unlimited drinks! Entertainment, onboard photographer, atmosphere and the views all amazing! Coffee at the end of evening! My family and I thoroughly enjoyed it! Must must do if you are in Istanbul.
Carlos
Despite the rain, I still liked it very much. It was a different nice experience. I recommend to everyone when in Istanbul.
Ulrich
We had a beautiful boat tour on the Bosporus. The transport to the dock and back worked well. The boat was very nice and not too crowded. The explanations and information in English well understood. A successful trip, highly recommended.
Naiyma A.
This was a special experience for me. I had no idea just how beautiful Istanbul really was until i saw it on the water. U can actually see Asia and Europe! I loved how the commentary spoke of the history as well; I learned a lot. The scenery was just amazing and the weather was perfect. I couldn’t ask for anything more. The manager of the tour was also the best. He assisted me with directions and allowed me to have the best possible experience. I recommend this tour to anyone visiting Istanbul. It is a must!!
Nino
I really liked the tour. There was no seasickness on the boat, the views are beautiful, the chef is amazing – the hot food is incredibly delicious. An interesting show program, a fun disco, I recommend it to everyone.
Debra
It was worth the money. The staff is polite and attentive to your comfort. The ship was quite simple, with two floors, but only one was used. It had many covered tables, one of which was reserved for you in advance. There are three small open decks with semi-sofas. The food is decent but not exceptional, with a choice of fish and meat for the main course. The show (dances and such) didn't impress me. Bring your own alcohol and occupy a sofa on the upper deck with your friends.
Martin B.
Great tour with Göckan and the rest of the crew! You really get to learn a lot about the city and with great views. It's also a nice little escape from the busy city for a few hours where you can reIax with the sea air. I would definitely do this tour again if I come back to Istanbul!

Had an amazing experience on the yacht tour. Easy to purchase the tix online. The luxurious pick up and drop vehicle was very comfortable and convenient as it picked us up and dropped us off from our hotel. The guide was very knowledgeable and spoke Spanish and 4 other languages. The on board food and beverages were elegant and delicious but pricy alcohol (bring your own) Would defined recommend this amazing private tour!! :)
