We had an incredible yacht experience, and a big part of that was thanks to Topa Bozmose. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, from her warm hospitality to her attention to detail throughout the trip. Her professionalism, friendly attitude, and genuine care truly elevated the entire experience. We couldn’t have asked for better service. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a memorable and well-taken-care-of yacht experience!

Booked the tour only 2 hours before it started and got picked up from my hotel. The cruise started with the Golden Horn part and then returned to get more passengers for the Bosphorus. Lots to see even though it got dark early in winter. The lights of some sights gave some great views. All in all very professional.

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!

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.

Good value for money. The boat is clean and the food is acceptable. Our waiter was very attentive. I had two glasses of wine, and the alcohol was truly unlimited. Considering the price of alcoholic drinks in Istanbul, this was a bargain. The show was also very nice and entertaining, especially the belly dancer. I even have some really funny pictures of her with my teenage son—nothing inappropriate, just pure fun.

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.

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.

Incredible. The boat is small, and we were lucky that there were only 5 people on the trip. We had the whole of the front of the boat to ourselves (so romantic)! Drinks and snacks are provided. The staff are friendly, especially the lady, I forgot her name 😭

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Great way to start off a vacation in Istanbul. You get to see different points of interest along both sides of the bosphorus. The tour is done by an actual person, not a recording. There was enough room to sit comfortably and move around. The hosts were very accommodating, providing plenty of snacks and drinks. We even got to see a pod of dolphins. A beautiful view of the sunset. Definitely worth the time and money.

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.

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

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.
