Bosphorus Cruises in Istanbul

Everything was great, not to forget the dancers, they all were great!

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.

We had a great time being on the boat.

The truth is that everything was perfect, good treatment, punctuality, Gustavo, who was our guide, was a delight as a person and professional

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

Our tour guide Kaeir was very cool, telling us all about the historical landmarks and stories. It is also low season so the entire yacht had only about 10 people. Plenty of tea, cookies and fruit.

Perfect! Especially I loved our guide, Jay, who was extremely friendly and enthusiastic and knows almost everything about Istanbul. The transport from/to hotel was really good and safe, yacht comfy, and we even receive some snacks and sweets, and also lemonade and great Turkish tea. There also is a chance to buy anything from the bar. Overall, great experience.

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.

This was a very well organised trip, from before we were collected we were informed by WhatsApp of the exact vehicle picking us up (photos too) to how we were treated through the 2.5 hour trip. From stepping onto the boat we were given drinks and snacks and throughout the trip we received more drinks and snacks. Nahed gave commentary throughout the trip and she obviously knows her stuff, very informative and lovely and friendly; all the staff on board were. Highly recommended trip.

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

We had a great time on the private yacht.

Had a great seat at the front, then plenty of opportunity to move around for pics as cruise went on. Nice snacks, friendly crew, just enough narrative about the sights. Best bit was sunset return into Istanbul.

Exceed ours expectations . It was an amazing cruise . We really appreciated and recomended!! It was worth!!!

We had a wonderful time with Golden City Tours on this sunset cruise. The boat was clean and comfortable. The crew was very accommodating and welcoming. Along the way, a guide pointed out landmarks and places of interest. He gave historical facts and context also. The tour was great. I highly recommend it.

Informative, funny, classy, and flexible. Went up and down the straight learning and laughing. This is one of the nicer tours with snacks, drinks, and good company.

It was nice 👌

Activity was amazing! Lots of performances, great views and the food was filling! our waiter was amazing!

Fatih took care of us. He is very nice, good with kids, helpful and friendly. The boat cruise was a great experience and would recommend to others.

Great experience overall, even with not so great weather. Drinks on board are pricey, but they do provide a lot of complimentary drinks and snacks.

I took a Bosphorus Sunset Cruise in Istanbul today, and the experience was absolutely wonderful. The service was excellent and highly professional from the moment of boarding to the time we returned. We were offered fresh fruits, snacks, and drinks everything was perfect. A special mention to Tuba, whose attention and kindness were exceptional. She is a highly competent professional who made the entire experience truly unforgettable. Thank you so much, Tuba! I’ll definitely recommend this sunset cruise to all my friends when they visit Istanbul.
