Reviews
Betty C.
Everything was great: timely hotel pickup, boat assignments, a satisfying breakfast, visits to Yıldız Palace and Çamlıca Mosque by bus, a return along the Bosphorus to the European side with a tasty lunch, a visit to the viewpoint, and return to our hotel. The experience was entirely positive. No extra costs or services were pushed on us. Highly recommended 👍 P.S. The cable car at the end was underwhelming: a short ride with a longer wait in line.
Mary P.
Everything went perfectly! I was worried that without mobile service during my stay in Istanbul it would be difficult to communicate, but all requests were accommodated, and communication was handled via messaging with both the staff who booked the tour and the driver providing the transfer in a comfortable Mercedes minibus. The excursion itself was very interesting. there was a stop in a scenic spot for a short walk, and we got very close to the Maiden’s Tower. Overall, it was excellent! :)
Ryan A.
A wonderful excursion. The daytime Bosphorus tour is much better than the nighttime one. Excellent guides. During the tour, they told us about all the sights along the entire strait. We also went ashore on the Asian side for a walk. Tea and cookies were served on the boat. Everything was great!
Caleb D.
They do what they promise in the description. It was a very nice experience and a pleasant time on the ship. You got to see the city of Istanbul from various angles including the sunset and the golden horn. At the End you got to hear the Muezzins of all mosques while cruising along the Galata bridge. Perfect Timing! But better be early! They don't have much time for docking!
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!
Faaiz B.
Amazing experience and the snacks provided were absolutely delicious. Best tour of the Bosphorus that is available.
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.
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!
Olga A.
Thanks for a great excursion! Everything is organized at the highest level. Istanbul at sunset is wonderful !!
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!!
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!
Chiara M.
Very nice sunset cruise, great way to see the Bosphorous. The organisation and communication was prompt and efficient. The yacht was modern and not too crowded. The guide and crew were attentive and informative. Snacks and drinks provided were okay.
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!
Bastian H.
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!! :)

The entire experience was amazing. We wanted a sushi dinner with dry white wine during the 2 hour cruise and the team handled everything. I texted our order, and they had everything ready on the boat for us. Throughout the cruise they were attentive and excellent hosts. The boat was in great condition and the right size for the choppy waters of the Bosphorus, smaller boats would rock and bob with the waves much more. Would absolutely recommend.

All liked it. Time flew by unnoticed. Excellent dinner. Good English speaking guide. Everything was at a high level.

I went on the boat with a terrible migraine and ended up getting seasick. Gökhan, Nursah and Can took such good care of me. I wish that I had been fit enough to enjoy the snacks and views that the tour offered.
