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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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 😭

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.
