Bosphorus Cruises in Istanbul

I’m so glad we booked this tour! It’s a great way to orient yourself to Istanbul and enjoy going to the Asian side. Lots of snacks!

Lovely boat, really nice staff, great tour guide. Blankets available once the temperature dropped. Sunset was beautiful

I had the pleasure of taking the Bosphorus Sunset Cruise in Istanbul, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The yacht tour provided stunning views, from the Old Town to Dolmabahce Palace and Maiden Tower — absolutely breathtaking. The service was exceptional, with fresh snacks, fruits, and drinks provided throughout the journey. A special thank you to Tugba, our guide, whose warmth, energy, and professionalism made the cruise even more enjoyable. She took amazing photos, ensured we were all comfortable, and shared interesting insights about the sights along the Bosphorus. Her kindness and enthusiasm really stood out and added a personal touch to the experience. I highly recommend this cruise to anyone visiting Istanbul. It’s a perfect way to see the city’s splendor from the water while enjoying great service and a relaxing atmosphere. 5/5 stars!

Beautiful scenery. Crew was great. Nice snacks and service. Very informative guide.

This cruise was a fantastic idea! Even though it was chilly and windy, the views were absolutely stunning!

We really enjoyed this cruise. Staff friendly and helpful and good commentary. Refreshments served on board and we were well looked after. Just one thing to mention on getting there. The instructions for the meeting place were somewhat chaotic. We had to ask where we were meant to be and were told where and said someone with Valena board would be there - they weren’t. In the end we went to the ticket office and they weren’t about to call Velana when a guy suddenly walked past and they flagged him down. When we got back onto the hotel WiFi later I had a what’s app with a different meeting place. If this had been sent the day before I would have got it. I had no access to the Turkish internet and didn’t get it. Please remember this for tourists and send communications the day before, not on the day which was completely useless for us. I feel we found the boat by luck only.

The entertainment when we had it. The DJ did a great job with the music. That got everyone up and dancing after the belly dancer.

Great tour. The guide was knowledgeable, the staff were friendly, the boat ride was great, they even gave out drinks, blankets, and snacks. Highly recommend.

The boat ride was beautiful and very private.

Thanks for a great excursion! Everything is organized at the highest level. Istanbul at sunset is wonderful !!

Cruising along the Bosphorus has been a unique experience! The boat is very comfortable, with plenty of space, and the service on board is great.

Wonderful evening with Bosphorus view, dinner and passionate Turkish music and dances :)

Excellent service and attention to detail. The team helped us plan everything perfectly. Istanbul from the water is a completely new perspective.

Comfortable, easy to find, good instructions from the start . Well worth the money. Highly recommended. We’re definitely going again.

Istanbul at sunset is a fairy tale!!!! It's not a long, very easy and enjoyable tour. We just swam, admired the views, ate fruits, nuts, snacks. We had a very pleasant time, and then admired the sunset and Istanbul in the evening lights.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time on board. The staff were incredibly hospitable and kind and the views were amazing.

Thanks to the organizers! The transfer is clearly timed. The show program and disco are great! The menu is very tasty fish! The Bosphorus at night is beautiful! Be sure to make a wish when you sail under the bridge - to return to Istanbul once more!

Everything went great, a wonderful walk, for those who don't like noise and crowds. Excellent service, pleasant snacks. Thanks guys, I'll recommend it.

Great value for money and friendly staff, highly recommend for travellers coming to Istanbul. Tours everyday
