Fantastic value for money for this trip! Boarded a boat much more luxurious than we expected to sail on ! Entertainment was a great watch dancers and music all through the evening! Food wise very good for how much the trip cost on board staff serving were polite and very quick delivering food to how many guest were on the boat . Scenic views along the water are stunning well while viewing .All in all definitely recommend the trip to others but feed back should be feed back so just one little thing with us personally was we booked alcohol package which for the amount we paid obviously you only get a couple of free drinks but didn’t mind paying for other drinks but the measures are small for what the boat charged. But don’t think that has anything to do with alle. travel

We went on a dinner boat excursion with entertainment and transfers. Our guide was smiling, attentive, and provided all the information we needed. We were comfortably transported to the boat and back. Our guide is brilliant and speaks English, Russian, and Turkish.

I loved everything! It was fun, the dinner was okay, drinks were served, and we bought alcohol there (cocktails 15 euros, beer 8), but as far as I understand, you could bring your own (though I'm not sure). The program was interesting, and there was a 15-20-minute disco at the end.

We had a wonderful evening! The transfer arrangements, the dinner itself, and the entertainment program were all excellent. It was my mother's birthday that day (we mentioned this when booking), so she received a complimentary cocktail.

We were picked up from our hotel and taken to the boat. The venue was beautiful, the food was delicious. There was a great program, including guitar music and belly dancing. And, of course, the most beautiful views of Istanbul at night!

A fantastic evening cruise along the Bosphorus! The guide was wonderful: he was always in touch, explained everything clearly, and even gave me a nice birthday bonus! The crew inside the ship was fantastic! Attentive waiters, live music, belly dancing, traditional dances, and a saxophonist! Dinner included appetizers, salads, a choice of hot meat, dessert, and soft drinks. It was a lot of fun and delicious! Thank you so much! I definitely recommend it!

We had a wonderful cruise. On the manager’s advice, we purchased a VIP table and were very satisfied. There was a beautiful view of night Istanbul outside the window, and the evening program was right in front of our eyes. Everything was very well organized for a fun evening.

Review from my mom) "Istanbul! We fell in love with you! To your embankments, cafes, seagulls and cats. To your streets, architecture, and people! And one of the most vivid and unforgettable experiences was a yacht trip. Very friendly and helpful team! We were pleasantly surprised- we were treated, photographed, and given the opportunity to see the sunset! Istanbul, we are not saying goodbye, we are saying goodbye!!!"

Excellent organization - the guys described the meeting place on the embankment in detail, picked us up, put us on the yacht without delay. The yacht is comfortable and comfortable, and you can stay anywhere - inside, in the control room above, even on the bow. They were treated to fruits, nuts, coffee, and rolls. It's an interesting walk, it's very beautiful around, my wife and daughter and I brought a lot of cool photos and videos with us. The guys are very friendly, and the places are very beautiful. I recommend it, especially in good weather.

Overall, the impressions from the walk are positive - the views are wonderful, the staff is attentive, there are no questions about the stated snacks and drinks. One of the nuances: it was suggested to pre-install the audio guide on the phone (download the application), but since there was no Internet, nothing could be listened to on the spot. The best views are below, on the open part of the yacht, where you can feel the Bosporus most fully. It was warmer on the upper part, soft windows were installed there, but the impressions were also appropriate.

I really enjoyed the tour. Nice yacht. The Azan presenter is a very pleasant, friendly young man. The captains were also on top. It got cool, and they offered blankets. Treats- sliced fruit, buns, nuts- delicious, beautifully set. Azan courted me, offered me tea and coffee, and the language barrier didn't even bother me. Great music, beautiful views. I was with my daughter for 18 years, she was delighted.Thanks for the lovely walk.

Wonderful views, tea, coffee, fruits, nuts are served on the boat. Friendly guys, taking pictures, telling us that we are sailing, but in English. You can take food on board. We were lucky with the weather, in the evening I advise you to take something warm with you, a hoodie, a light jacket, although there were blankets on the boat. Thank you very much.

It can hardly be called an excursion. There was no tourist information. Rather, it was a trip along the Bosphorus, in which we had a very nutritious breakfast, a pleasant atmosphere, and excellent musical accompaniment. All the team members are very friendly. If you have free time in Istanbul, I recommend you to visit.

I really liked the breakfast on the Bosphorus, the friendly team , all the amenities, a round-trip transfer was provided. everything was very punctual, the breakfast was incomparable , not limited in the literal sense, the views are gorgeous, live music , the only wish , the voiceover of iconic places on the coast so that we know what we see . Thank you so much for the positive emotions.

The trip to the Princes’ Islands was wonderful. Everything was well organized — picked up from the hotel, escorted to the boat with a guide, on the first island the group went up to the monastery with the guide, who told the history of the monastery; on the second island, we explored on our own. After the walk, we were taken back to the hotel. Highly recommended — very beautiful!

Nothing particularly special, to be honest. There’s no real point in going to the first island at all. On the second island, we walked around and looked at the villas. We didn’t swim. But the price was budget-friendly, so we decided to go.

This Yacht cruise on the Bosphorus in Istanbul was one of the highlights of our week. The yacht was beautiful and accommodating. The staff was incredible with excellent information shared from the tour guide throughout the experience. There were good snacks provided along with water and juice and the opportunity to purchase wine and other drinks. The small group was great.

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!

It was amazing! Simply worth every penny. I would recommend it to anyone. We did not order any food but we had the hot drinks. The service was 10/10. The view is magnificent and definitely worth the price. Bring a jacket and scarf as it gets chilly in the deck. There is also an indoor sitting area if you wish to keep yourself warm. The view was very nice. Instructions were clear too.

The overall cruise experience was awesome, travelled about an hour each way, got to see a different view of the major buildings, voice over (english) would speak a little about each building as we got close to it. Free tea and coffee on the boat, food was offered too but I didnt eat anything. I saw other people have drinks too. There was seating inside and outside, 3 levels for the outside and 2 for the inside with good views wherever you were seated. It was a good experience, if you are in Istanbul for a short time or want to get your bearings.

The best thing was the topic of our tour- archetecture accent of the guide. The tour was simply magnificent if you thing of valye for money. Nice boat with free turkush tea and prices for snaks were very good. if some ody needs to see Istambul in short time- this Bospbor tour is the best thing to start with- no traffic and amazing views. we had only one day in Istanbul and were very happy that we picked this Cruise. Staff was very polite!

Smooth sailing from Kabatas to Rumeli Castle and back. I booked just a few hours before, no problem. There were about 20 people in total and still plenty of room. Most of the sites you'll see and have explained are on the European side. The guide was knowledgeable and friendly. The snacks (nuts and fruit) plus tea were filling. The value for the price is worth 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! ❤️

This yacht cruise was amazing. The captain expertly navigated the Bosphorus so we got great views of everything with enough time for photos-especially the beautiful sunset. The guide narrating did a superb job with excellent relaxing, interesting music with soft gentle volume between narration. The crew timed service of bringing first water, the tasty nut assortment, lemonade, then cookie and baklava, then fruit platter. Things came out at a pace that was perfect for the length of the cruise. We ordered wine which was reasonably priced. We were planning on dinner after but found we weren’t hungry at all. The crew serving were congenial and I noticed very kind to children and all the guests on board. The boat was comfortable, spacious for our group size, We weren’t crowded at all. Every detail on the Subset Bosphorus was perfect and I highly recommend.

A wonderfully coordinated experience from start to finish. Everything ran seamlessly: from the meeting point to the cruise itself and the return. The guides arrived early to organize participants and check lists, and since we were a large group, we were divided between two yachts. The cruise was fantastic, with engaging live commentary filled with interesting insights. The onboard service was excellent, and the light snacks provided were delightful. The stopover was equally enjoyable, I grabbed some yogurt and browsed a few charming artisanal pop-up stalls. Overall, it was a memorable outing that I’d happily recommend.

This trip on the Bosphorus was fantastic in all respects. Beautiful boat with lots of room to spread out, snacks, tea, and service, and the guide shared plenty of interesting information without dominating. He also had a nice sense of humor. We were on the water for 2.5 hours and felt it was a bargain for the price.

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 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.

The guide Tubga was lovely, very attentive, always checking you was ok,,even went as far when the cruise finished she personally took us where we could get a taxi, got us a taxi and spoke to the driver to make sure we got back to our hotel. From start to finish we was kept informed and even when I messaged them because we was lost they said stay where you are and we will come and get you (after pinning my location).

I had a very pleasant experience on the Bosphorus cruise with dinner and show. The food was good, the atmosphere was lovely, and the show was very enjoyable and entertaining. At the end there was also a mini disco, which made the evening even more fun. It’s an experience I would definitely recommend!

There will be photographers who take photos and print as album without asking us and compel to buy. It is expensive than the overall trip. You can politely reject it as they print the album without asking us.

Excellence in every way. Satisfaction guaranteed. If because of tight schedule you only do this one cruise, you will leave Istanbul with a smile on your face. Seeing the city by night from the Bosporus is amazing! Very recommendable. The organization, the food and the entertainment was awesome.

An unforgettable evening on the Bosphorus! From the moment we stepped on board, everything was perfectly organized and welcoming. The staff were friendly, professional, and always attentive without being intrusive. The dinner was delicious, well presented, and offered a great variety to suit different tastes, with fresh ingredients and generous portions. As we sailed between Europe and Asia, the views were absolutely stunning: illuminated palaces, bridges, and the unique skyline of Istanbul created a magical atmosphere. The live shows and music added great energy and truly reflected Turkish culture, making the night entertaining and authentic. The cruise was smooth, comfortable, and well paced, giving us enough time to enjoy the food, the performances, and the scenery. It’s an ideal experience for couples, friends, or groups who want to enjoy Istanbul from a different perspective. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a memorable, relaxing, and high-quality Bosphorus dinner cruise.

Wonderful experience, highly recommended This cruise was one of the highlights of my stay. It offers a completely different perspective of the city, allowing you to see it from very close up: the boat passes right along the waterfront houses, beautiful wooden structures that feel almost private and intimate, as if you were gently gliding through people’s everyday lives. It’s something quite hard to describe, but truly fascinating. The boat is comfortable and welcoming, with both an indoor area that is very warm and cozy—perfect when it’s cold outside—and an outdoor area to enjoy the views. Inside, everything is well organized and nothing is missing. The decorations add a nice touch and make the atmosphere even more pleasant. A special mention goes to the gentleman who welcomes the guests: extremely kind, attentive, and always available. It’s warm, comfortable, and offers a unique view of the Bosphorus. I would definitely do it again.

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.

"A wonderful and relaxing Bosphorus morning cruise! The views were stunning, the pace was calm, and the food was excellent—fresh fruit, bagel sandwiches, Turkish delights, and drinks made the experience feel extra special. The guide and crew were informative, funny, and incredibly engaging with everyone on board, including a toddler traveling with another family. The short stop on the Asia side of Istanbul was a highlight, especially getting to try some really good Turkish yogurt. We went as a family with two teenage boys, and they were fully engaged and enjoyed every part of the cruise. Highly recommend this experience for families or anyone wanting a laid-back and memorable way to see Istanbul from the water!"
