Traveler Reviews of Tours in Istanbul

The price is excellent, the yacht is comfortable, you can take beautiful photos, you are greeted in a separate place, the yacht immediately sails and immediately departs, thank you very much for the organization and impressions

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 was an extraordinary journey at sunset! Incredible impressions that we received and discussed the next day, how fantastically beautiful it was! I will remember this magnificent painting for a long time. Excellent service on board. I recommend it from the bottom of my heart!

It's not the first time I've been swimming with the guys, great organization and stunning views both in winter and summer, special thanks for swimming as close as possible to the maiden tower, I highly recommend it.

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 highly recommend this yacht trip in the sunset hours from 6 p.m. It seems to me that the evening views of Istanbul from the Bosphorus will not leave anyone indifferent!

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.

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.

Everything was great. The yacht is great! During the walk, the views were amazing. The staff did an excellent job. We returned with a sea of beautiful photos and impressions.

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.

I really enjoyed the tour! and the views and the yacht and the care.

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!!!"

hi I am khan. This dinner cruise and live music are fantastic. I really enjoy it.

Very nice and comfortable tour guide Mammad he was really friendly .

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.

Great Bosphorus night tour with dinner and a show. Everything was well organized and fun. The time flew by. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

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!

Really enjoyed the evening Bosphorus cruise. Everything was well organized, and staff was great! The dinner was delicious. The show was perfect too. The view of the city at night was breathtaking! We had a wonderful time and experience. The guides were highly professional. Highly recommend!

Worth the money. A comprehensive show program, delicious fish for dinner, and incredible views of the city at night. At the very end, there's an incredible international disco 🥳 I recommend it to everyone😄

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.

Overall, the evening was a success. We were surprised that the program was scheduled to start at 8:00 PM, but the ship actually departed at 9:00 PM. We were supposed to be picked up at 7:30 PM, but they came at 8:10 PM. Throughout that time, the tour organizers stayed in touch with us via WhatsApp. Initially, we had booked the trip for January 4, 2026, but closer to the evening we were informed about a possible cancellation due to sea waves, with the option to cancel or reschedule for the next day. We chose to reschedule. On the ship, everything went well: service and show program. We didn’t like that only couples were seated at separate tables, while the rest of us — including us — were placed at long tables, sitting shoulder to shoulder with strangers, although some people might actually enjoy that. The appetizers were served in small dome-shaped portions arranged on a plate, along with a vegetable salad in a separate bowl. My family didn’t like the meat and chicken kebabs, but my sea bass was delicious. The evening ended with a mini disco featuring an energetic saxophonist. Besides him, we were entertained with national and ballroom dances, and a dervish demonstrated his art. Thank you.

The yacht was comfortable and the breakfast was delicious. The walk was very pleasant, and the staff at the reception and during breakfast were rated 5 stars.

The breakfast was very tasty and varied. It's also a great trip and pleasant service.

Everything is just wonderful! Excellent service and very tasty and satisfying food! I highly recommend it!v

We had a delicious breakfast/brunch and a guided tour of the Bosphorus. There is a lot of food, and the staff is very pleasant.

If you want to go on a cruise, I 100% recommend this option! It was magical, and the fact that we were in a limited group made the trip even better! The guide was incredibly helpful, and the breakfast was amazing!

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.

We were very satisfied with everything. We were picked up from the meeting point and brought back at the appointed time.

The guide met us and accompanied us throughout the tour! It was very pleasant, he was interested in how we were doing and made sure that we were always well provided for! I will be happy to come again!

Excellent excursion, but we spent very little time on the islands; otherwise, overall a good tour 👍.

Everything was great; the tour was interesting with very beautiful views.

Enjoyed the tour, there was English guides. Everything was very beautiful and interesting.

The staff is very pleasant. Beautiful islands, although unfortunately there isn’t much entertainment on them—still, it was a nice trip overall.

Many thanks to the organizers, Nastya and Eva, for an excellent excursion.

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.

Superb superb superb! We had an amazing time with the best possible crew! Everything is amazing and we enjoyed every moment! Don't miss it!

We picked this cruise over all the others because the yacht is really well laid out and has cute little tables set up to take in the scenery. The guide was really good company and taught us a lot of things. The snacks were good. The sunset added a touch of beauty. Thanks a lot for your professionalism

The only challenge is knowing who the cruise guides are… no signs, and they seem disorganized upon the start with little communication

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

We liked it very much. Great service. Delicious snack. Fantastic views. Highly recommended

Just one word - AMAZING!!!! This is a MUST HAVE experience if you are visiting Istanbul. Watching the sunset at the Bosphorus was definitely one of the key highlights of my trip. The tour was well organized, the guide explained all the places we passed by during the cruise. It did get very cold but, thankfully the team offered us blankets and tea. ;)

An amazing experience to do in istambul!!! I fully recommended ! Everything was amazing

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

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!

Amazing experience and the snacks provided were absolutely delicious. Best tour of the Bosphorus that is available.

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.

The cruise was amazing, we saw the beautiful parts of Istanbul from sea side wich you cannot see and experience from the groubd. The tour guide and all staff were very kind and welcoming. This is something you need to do if you want to experience the best of Istanbul.

I really enjoyed this boat trip even though it was quite cloudy. Staff was very friendly and the audio guide was very informative. Initially we missed our original booking due to Istanbul traffic (dont take the buses), but we were offered to go the next day withouth any extra charge so special thanks for that and being flexible.

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.

Wonderful experience on board a well-maintained and clean boat, good service, friendly and efficient staff, and decent food. A lovely trip and good value for money. I would recommend it.

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

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.

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.

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!

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!

It was amazing. During journeys they served water, tea and coffee. 2 hours long trip was outstanding. Down floor was fully heated in winter. I will strongly recommend.

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.

The guide was very kind and the rest of the staff as well. The small group size was optimal for seeing the sites. Overall a great experience and I highly recommend.

The cruise along the river was beautiful, and the snacks were plenty to hold us over until dinner. They even provided information along the cruise, which was a nice touch

Best option with food and ground floor front deck seats is best place to enjoy couldn't recommend more

Well spent money! The guide and crew were very friendly and informative. Great views during sunset. Highly recommended!

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.

Amazing Bosphorus boat tour! Hassan was an incredibly kind and attentive guide, making everyone feel very welcome and cared for, always on top of every detail. The cruise itself was exceptional, with beautiful views and a very relaxed atmosphere. Honestly, the price was too low for such a great experience – outstanding value and highly recommended!

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! ❤️

It was a amazing journey, Hospitality in the yacht was good. Value for money. Mr. Yasir and team did a great job. Appreciated.

Good guide nice tour. Raining the day of tour so seats could have done with a wipe down

Wonderful activity! It was SO worth the price and more- and Kadir was an excellent guide! This was the highlight of our trip

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.

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.

good commentary from the guide told us plenty of information as we passed places on the shore. snacks and drinks were good. plenty of time on the small stop in the Asian side to buy and eat an ice cream. 😀

I really enjoyed the Bosphorus yacht tour! The guide was very knowledgeable and shared interesting information throughout the trip. The atmosphere was relaxing, and the snacks served were very delicious. Overall, it was a wonderful experience that I would definitely recommend.

The meeting point was easy to find, and the group size was manageable. The boat is beautiful and very comfortable, and the crew takes great care of you from the moment you get on the boat. The guide was very knowledgeable. The stopover is very short, but fun and allowed an opportunity to be on the Asian continent.

This was my activity in Istanbul and loved it. Excellent way to orientate to the city - history, Bosphorus area, and Istanbul in general. Fantastic guide and experience

Really fun activity. Our guide was excellent- knowledgeable, interesting and humorous. He imparted lots of information but left us plenty of time to just enjoy the scenery without a running commentary- much appreciated.

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.

I had a wonderful experience on the Bosphorus yacht cruise in Istanbul. Despite a flight delay, the team kindly rescheduled me for another day, which I deeply appreciated. The yacht was beautiful, the views were stunning, and the two hours passed effortlessly. The highlight was our guide, Tugba — full of warmth, energy, and kindness. She provided us with tea and snacks, took amazing photos, and ensured everyone felt comfortable and cared for. Her enthusiasm made the journey truly special. I highly recommend this cruise to anyone wanting to enjoy the breathtaking beauty of the Bosphorus in the most memorable way.

We really enjoyed the sunset cruise. Our lovely guide Tuba is superb. She took very good care of us during the 2 hours trip. She’s also a fantastic photographer. We would definitely recommend this trip to our friends.

awesome experience! great view with even greater service. our guide, tuba, was very accommodating and friendly. she took nice photos, and offered us blankets so we were able to sit at the front of the yacht comfortably in the cold weather. super recommended~

I really enjoyed this trip! It was the best cruise I’ve ever had in Istanbul😍 totally recommend!!

Great experience. Togba was a really nice person and very helpful. Highly recommended!

I really enjoyed seeing Istanbul from the Bosphorus and the boat and food were very good. The audio guide buffered and was quite frustrating so I decided just to enjoy the view and check my Google maps if I needed to know what I was looking at. It was a bit chilly so we were given blankets which was nice. k

Suma was very helpful onboard keeping everybody well fed and watered, and making sure the app with audio guide worked for us. Thank you Suma 😊

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 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!

GREAT ACTIVITY, loved it they don’t fill up the boat too much and the staff are great. We even spotted dolphins. Your definitely thinking if this is worth it or go for the normal ferry, did both and do this honestly the best thing we did in Istanbul the pictures say it all!

We had a wonderful boat trip! The boat was beautiful, spacious, and very new — we really enjoyed it. We were offered snacks, fresh fruits, tea, and coffee, which made the experience even nicer. The staff was amazing very kind and professional and we were really satisfied with everything. A special thank you to Tugba Bozmese, who took great care of us,she was wonderful, and we truly recommend her and this trip!

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.

Fantastic way to see both the Asian and European sides of Istanbul/Turkey. They provided lots of information during the tour of what we were seeing and the sunset was amazing.

We all really enjoyed the trip. The boat was the perfect size, clean and well looked after. The drinks and snack we well presented and tasty. The guide and crew were friendly and interesting. We found the meeting point easily. Definitely one of the highlights of our 3 day trip.

A wonderful cruise all round. Fantastic guide, stunning boat, excellent food and snacks. Great value.

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

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.

Such a wonderful experience! Very happy and would definitely recommend!

Boat was very nice. Crew was pleasant and courteous. We got some nice general info about Istanbul and what we were seeing, but the main thing is just enjoying the scenery and you can do that on other boat tours for less money. It was a nice tour, but next time I would opt for a cheaper ride.

I had such an amazing time on the Bosphorus yacht tour! The whole experience was just perfect — from the delicious drinks and tasty food to the stunning views all around. The crew was incredibly friendly and welcoming, always ready to help and make sure everyone was comfortable. I really appreciated how they helped us take great photos, making the memories even more special. If you’re looking for a relaxing, fun evening with great company and beautiful scenery, this tour is definitely the way to go! Highly recommend it! 🌊✨🍹

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.

This is a must do on your trip to Istanbul! The start of the journey was smooth and seamless. The team on board was also very approachable and friendly especially Mr. Blake. Totally worth every penny! Also, if you are looking to book with them in winters, feel free as it wasn’t very cold and was in fact very pleasant.

Turkish show was nice, the route of the boat is quite short and due to time it was circling in front of the harbour more than half an hour in the end, would have been better to drive a longer distance to see more from the city.

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.

Everything has exceeded the expectations, excellent quality: food, service, environment and entertainment. Definitely recommend it.

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!

Convenient starting point, as it is close to public transport stops and easy to get to. Dinner with starters, main course and dessert, including tea and drinks – a fair price, although the quality is not the best. It would be nice to have a guide so we could get explanations about the route and the highlights; it would be better to book the shows after dinner. Approximately 2.5/3 hours on the cruise; overall, acceptable value for money; a pleasant evening.

Excellent dinner with a really incredible musical program in a clean and beautiful boat. The food was a lot of, and the taste was delicious. The staff was very kind and polite.

Excellent service. Must try, appreciate blake for an awesome service.

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!

The dance show was good and entertaining along with the music and service. Overall we had a wonderful experience.

All activities were good. The troupe was talented. Food was delicious, boat was spacious, music was great. Loved it.

Awesome activity. now some details - they allowed us to come next day, as we reached late on our scheduled date, with the same ticket. i have seen videos saying ferry can replace cruise, but certainly not. snaks are drinks are also good and totally value for money

beautiful sunset trip to city, wonderful experience, nicest staff, must visit

Very nice and pleasant Bosforo trip. You get to see everything from the sea and spend a nice relaxing time from the biat while having a refreshing snack and drinks. Very friendly and helpful staff. Recommended.

Excellent service, people are very nice thanks to chef Ahmed for his hospitality I highly recommend it ! This sunset was also beautiful we really enjoyed it !

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.

The sunset cruise was the perfect ending to our trip. The boat is spacious, clean and well equipped. The staff was friendly. The sights are spectacular, of course. The snacks included a fruit plate, and a plate with small pastries and biscuit. We had two drinks, and there was bottled water as well. I highly recommend it. Great value for the price.

The trip was very good. Great views of the city from the boat and nice snacks.

We had a lovely afternoon with Sunset Cruises. Super service, many thanks! Excellent!

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

The boat is big and very spacious. The staff is very friendly. This is a perfect cruise for day time of dinner or for sunset or even a lazy afternoon for the whole family. It’s very conveniently located. Please book directly from the site to avoid missing out the seats.

Everything was amazing!! That was a great experience! The view was so beautiful and the staff was super kind. There was a handsome guide with red blazer that helped us a lot. The food also was very worthy! Highly recommended !

Stunning 2 hour cruise, sunset was great in January, lovely views and warm bar inside with great staff. Red wine was good. Make sure to go to the top floor! Nice vibes

Our waiter was so generous, kind and friendly. Very professional and thoughtful. Thank you so much for making this experience so special!

Burak made the dinner and party very pleasant and confortable. hés doing his job very well 🙏ak

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

It was the best time we had in Istanbul!! the driver picked us up on time from our hotel. On the ship everyone of the stuff was very helpful and kind. we enjoyed a full menu with great tastes and an amazing show with great dancers. we highly recommend it!!

we really like the transport that took us to cruise, we love the food and performance we have a lovely evening

Riham has been incredibly helpful since the very beginning of our cruise. She guided us and assisted with everything we needed. The experience on the ship has been amazing, we especially loved the night show with the professional dancers and the delicious food. Everything was perfect, and we truly enjoyed our time on board!

We joined the dinner cruise as a group of 12 and honestly had an amazing night. Everything was organized well from start to finish. The service was fast, friendly, and very attentive to our group. The dance performances were fun and energetic, and the live music created a great atmosphere throughout the night. The best part was definitely the Bosphorus view — seeing Istanbul lit up at night from the water was truly beautiful and made the whole experience unforgettable. Our entire group enjoyed it and we had a great time together. Overall, it was a wonderful experience with good food, great entertainment, and fantastic views. I would definitely recommend this cruise to anyone visiting Istanbul

amazing service and really took care of our family. shout oht to cruise members especially chef ahmet. recommended!!

Everything was perfect, we really enjoyed our trip! We recommend to everyone ❤️

Really funny night. The service was incredible and our waiter Hasam was a legend!

It was entertaining, but there was no one who spoke Spanish, and that's why I bought it. The free drinks never arrived.

It was a nice tour with very good guys we could also buy an album with photos, we loved it and we took it

Rain and fog, so definitely not ideal conditions. Still, we had a great time.

Great tour that was well arranged. Transportation was clearly communicated and our guide was friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating to our needs. The tour was informative and well organised. The places we visited were interesting and lunch was delicious. Highly recommended!!

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!

The culture was wonderful, it was terrific. We were so well looked after. It has such great views, I really liked the tour with get your guide. It was very well put together. The guides were all very nice and caring. The day couldn't have been nicer and I can only recommend it. I could never have imagined it. I can only recommend it.

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

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.

It was my first time in instanbul. It was a really great experience at the cruise. The food and service was excellent. Very much recommended

Amazing tour, great service, knowledgeable guide and comfortable yacht. They take their time showing you all the important parts of Istanbul along the Bosphoros.

Amazing experience and from welcome to see off the team and service is amazing. Nice clean yacht with valuable information throughout the journey.

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.

Great staff, wonderful cruise boat, covered lots of areas, fantastic snacks with tea and lemonades, great experience

A really nice leisure ride on the Bosphorous. All the staff was friendly and helpful to the max. Easy to understand and well provided answers to my questions.

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

The tour guides were very courteous and brought us several snacks and drinks. Also did a great job describing the places we were passing by.

It was a good for information about the architecture and history of the area. However, the motor yatch was a little short on the luxury and it smelled like cats were in residence at night. Having said that the crew was great and kept us plied with snacks and drink.

Lovely views on a beautiful day even in winter it was warm enough inside the boat. Cookies and fruit were nice a guide was informative.

The guide was very informative, the snacks were nice and very welcome. The cruise provided a very interesting perspective of two continents from the Bosphorus. Good value.

Great trip along the Bosphorous! Learned several things about the history of different buildings on both the European and Asian side. Fun crew, great snacks too!

Amazing cruise on a lovely boat with really friendly crew. A much needed break from the crazy crowds in the city centre

Fascinating look at both the European and Asian sides of the Bosporus with commentary and a short stop on the Asian side to sample some authentic Turkish yogurt. We also enjoyed some small snacks, Turkish tea, & Turkish coffee along the way.

Very fun knowledge crew. We had a wonderful time with a small group enjoying the views of the Bosphorus

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 staff members were very friendly. Tour guide shared interesting historical information along the way. Refreshments were provided with the option to purchase spirit drinks.

"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!"

The staff on board were warm and welcoming. The yacht was beautiful and the cruise felt like a little taste luxury.

Great experience! Very easy to navigate and follow and book, the tour guides were very helpful and it was very easy to find everything especially the meetup points. They were very good at communicating and explained the history well. It was cold so they provided blankets and warm tea and lots of snacks. Everyone was very hospitable and inviting. Would definitely recommend this tour, the boat was also wonderful and the group size was perfect.

The tour gave us a much better perspective on greater Istanbul, away from the major tourist spots. The tour included some nice snacks, tea and coffee, which we appreciated as we had missed lunch. The woman who narrated the tour was very good with impeccable English.

The boat is beautiful and very comfortable. It is a lovely way to see the sights of the city and view both continents. We enjoyed it very much.

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.

Very friendly captains – they greeted us, offered tea and coffee, allowed us to play our own music and even steer the yacht. We were very pleased, thank you!

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

Truly unforgettable! Watching the sunset while cruising past Topkapi Palace was magical. Crew was polite, helpful, and ensured everything ran smoothly.

Amazing trip! The yacht was spacious and very comfortable. Seeing Istanbul from the water was unforgettable. Crew was friendly and attentive. Highly recommend!

We enjoyed every minute of the yacht tour. The crew was welcoming, and the boat was well-equipped. Perfect combination of leisure and sightseeing.

A romantic evening on the Bosphorus! The quiet and peaceful atmosphere made it extra special. We’ll cherish this memory forever.

The team made our trip effortless and enjoyable. From start to finish, everything was seamless, and the scenery along the Bosphorus was breathtaking.

We rented a modest yacht for a small group, and it was perfect. Comfortable seating, smooth sailing, and fantastic views of Istanbul’s landmarks.

Fantastic experience! We felt completely taken care of by the crew. Delicious food and drinks ordered in advance made the trip extra special.

Amazing combination of sightseeing and relaxation. The boat was clean, spacious, and well-maintained. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Istanbul.

Wonderful experience! The yacht was cozy and luxurious at the same time. Great for both family outings and a small group of friends.

The views of the historical neighborhoods and mosques were spectacular. Loved cruising past the Egyptian Bazaar and feeling the fresh sea breeze.

I took this tour, and my mom and I really enjoyed it. The dinner was delicious, the performances were great, and everything was very comfortable.

I really enjoyed the tour. There were dances, performances by artists, and a dinner. I especially liked the view of the Bosphorus from the deck.

We had a great evening! The transfer service, the dinner itself, and the entertainment program were all excellent.

I really enjoyed everything, and it matched the description and my expectations. Thank you to the organizers.

We had a great time, we enjoyed everything, and it was fun and worth it.

Everything is very well organized, both the transfer and the event on the ship itself.

I can simply say — I recommend it to everyone, you won’t regret it. Be ready for a photoshoot, the photos turn out amazing. The entertainment and service are top-notch.

Very tasty food, wonderful program, dancing and singing — overall, a lot of fun. This is my second time attending, and I highly recommend it.

This is an amazing adventure along the Bosphorus. Evening Istanbul is beautiful. The food was delicious, and the service was top-notch. I really enjoyed the entertainment program — a mesmerizing show. We even had a chance to dance a little. I recommend this excursion.

The evening was wonderful. We were picked up from the hotel and returned afterward. Delicious dinner with two glasses of wine or beer each. The show program was extensive, and we even danced along with the performers. Highly recommended.

I can simply say – I recommend it to everyone, you won’t regret it. Be ready for a photo session; the pictures turn out amazing. Entertainment and service are top-notch.

Everything was great, though it would have been even better if there were at least audio guides available for an extra fee, as there are many historical sites — no information provided.

Excellent excursion! Everything was very enjoyable! Hotel transfer to and from, very delicious dinner, and a great program!

An opportunity to see Istanbul and almost the entire Bosphorus Strait in the evening, just as the heat subsides and all the lights turn on, the city begins to shine and looks completely different, as do the monuments (palaces, mosques, other cultural landmarks) 😻. Also, it’s a great chance to enjoy watching traditional Turkish dances!

Everything was very good, the food was excellent, the waiters were busy as bees, transfer was comfortable to and from the hotel. Pleasant atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Good program — I recommend it. Picked up from the hotel. The food was more standard than luxurious: vegetable salad, main course, three national appetizers. The waiter kept refilling water constantly — alcohol only upon request — by the end of the evening everything was cleared from the table. The program was national, not bad, for those who enjoy it — dance skills were average. Overall, a pleasant evening.

Probably the best thing we did in Istanbul during our 5-day stay))) There was a pleasant and fun group of tourists like us. Decent cuisine, which is rare for Istanbul. Friendly staff. I recommend it!

A gorgeous Bosphorus cruise, excellent dinner, great service. The organizer set the hotel pickup time, but the transfer was 1 hour late.

Everything was great — the menu, live music, performance, transfer, organization, photos.

Booked in advance before our trip to Istanbul. Everything went wonderfully. Transfer picked us up on time. Everything was precise. Very tasty food, beautiful ship, high-quality service. Everyone was very hospitable. Thank you very much.

Everything was good. Picked up from the hotel and returned there. The food was very tasty, more than I expected. It was my birthday, and they brought a cake with a candle. Sweet and pleasant!

Great value for money, great way to see the city! Free tea was provided, which was very handy on a chilly spring day

Good experience especially the one with kids. Definitely worth for what you pay. Highly recommended.

Its very good, interesting and cheap! I recommend! Amazing views at sunset, hot drinks and food available on board.

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

Great experience and friendly guides too! Definitely recommend as a nice way to see parts of the city!

Great value. Very relaxing. We have learned about. We highly recommend it. A must do if visiting Istanbul specially for the first time

The cruise it's self was good, especially for the money. However a member of staff was desperate for reviews, asking me to show my phone and do this on the spot. Not very classy.

What a lovely way to spend a couple of hours relaxing on a cruise. The organisation was terrific, the ship sails at a leisurely pace and commentary is provided on the dominant sights along the Bosphorus. Would highly recommend to all travellers to Istanbul.

Good boat trip - very informative. You need to bring ear phones for the audio guide if you want to hear about all the sights.

A good tour but my last tour contained more information. It was unfortunate that the weather was bad. The experience is better on a nice day I'm sure but overall we enjoyed the experience.

I was very good outing for me and my family as we are new to the country and mainly the language was the bigger loss we are not sure about the location and couldn't communicate with someone with the public in English. Otherwise we enjoyed the trip.
