Charles F.
We had a wonderful trip with amazing food. A special thank you to our guide, who truly went above and beyond. Everything was perfectly arranged, making the trip completely stress-free for us. The guide was especially considerate of our kids and even arranged pizza for them, which made them so happy. That extra care and attention to detail really made a difference. Overall, a fantastic experience and highly recommended!
Donald B.
beautiful sunset trip to city, wonderful experience, nicest staff, must visit
Halime A.
My husband and I and our 2 teenagers took a sunset cruise down the Bosporus. Booking online was easy, we were sent the details of where to meet by WhatsApp and the boat was as described. There were a total of around 30 people on the cruise. On board we were provided with water, orange juice and some snacks including baklava, which was very nice. You could also buy alcoholic drinks. The cruise was a great way to see many of the key sights along the river and helped us get our bearings. We enjoyed ourselves and would highly recommend the trip!
Shirley D.
A really good cruise with a small group which allowed everyone to a good choice for seating. Although, the snacks that was served was nice, I would say served as a taster portion and the fruit plater was 3 small pieces of a peach. The service throughout was friendly. Do keep checking your messages from tour/curise ompany as we received a message 2 hours before our booked time to say where to meet which was a different part of the port which wS futher away to what our original booking stated. This was okay for us as we had the flexibility in our day to accept the change. All in all, we would definitely recommend this cruise.
Robert W.
Amazing experience and from welcome to see off the team and service is amazing. Nice clean yacht with valuable information throughout the journey.
Nataly
I can simply say that I advise everyone, you won't regret it. The advice is to get ready for a photo shoot, the pictures are just great. The entertainment and service are top notch.

Exceed ours expectations . It was an amazing cruise . We really appreciated and recomended!! It was worth!!!
Arthur V.
we liked the service. however the voice on the guide couldn't pronounce the name of the sultans & pasha's which was disappointing. wish it was a Turkish person who did the voice over. otherwise everything else was amazing!
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
Fayez
All activities were good. The troupe was talented. Food was delicious, boat was spacious, music was great. Loved it.

We’d like to share our impressions of the trip — it was simply amazing! 🤩 We booked the tour online, which allowed us to save almost half the price compared to buying the same tour from the shore. I went on both tours just a few days apart, so I can compare them. Our trip was on a comfortable yacht, with only 8 people in the group (probably because it’s not the high season in December). The guide met us exactly at the scheduled time. The wonderful Hasan offered snacks — nuts, cookies, fruit, tea… He literally said: “Dear guests, relax, lie down, dance, enjoy yourselves.” 😊😊 The audio guide told us about the sights. I highly recommend the time slot we chose — 16:15. This way, during the trip you can see magnificent Istanbul in sunlight, at sunset, and when the city lights come on at night. An unforgettable experience! ❤️
Maria
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.
Aram R.
What a perfect experience! The service was on another level, the ride was right on time, and the food was incredible. The show was the highlight - absolutely amazing. A big thanks to everyone for making it so special!

Perfect way to celebrate a birthday! The yacht was elegant, the crew attentive, and the sunset over the Bosphorus was magical. A truly memorable experience.

Helen V.
Our group in the yacht was quite small. So a lot of space to move around and plenty of photo opportunities. Our guide is excellent, giving us very good details of the sights along the way. Overall, the cruise is very comfortable.

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.
Silvia

Lana
Good organization. We were picked up from several hotels by a mini bus. There was a very positive escort who was with us on the ship later, as well as a good driver. Everything is clearly organized on the ship. The ship was beautiful. Very clean, new. The service staff works perfectly, dirty dishes are immediately cleaned, new dishes are quickly brought. They ask about the hot food in advance, you could choose fish, chicken, beef or pasta with sauce. From dessert, everyone received a small cookie in honey for free, but for a fee you could order a fruit plate and cakes. The performance is excellent, the guys are also working 100%. There were national Turkish dances, belly dancing. For the last half hour there was a disco with European and Turkish songs. A photographer works on the ship, in fact, then you decide for yourself whether to take a photo or not. Additional money is needed (but this is optional) for photos, alcohol, dessert. They were taken back to the hotels in an orderly manner. I highly recommend this guided tour.
