Very good - Beautiful landscapes, boat and good meal. Polite and efficient crew. We spent the day on the boat with stops at the islands to enjoy the place and the Aegean Sea. On the Bosphorus it was a very beautiful cruise, also an excellent crew

Good - Everything was good. Only weather was bad but it was out of anyones control. Guide commentary was nice and the cookies were nice. Only thing i would say is they didnt have coffee or any juice as mentioned on the ad. (i wasnt offered any choice other than water/tea or alcoholic drinks which you have to buy), overall good experience. Please note that the boat sways alot since it was smaller boat so if you get easily nauseous choose a bigger boat.

Great way to see greater Istanbul. - Fantastic way to see more of Istanbul than the area of the old City. Boat was comfortable but not a luxury yacht as we would define luxury. Good commentary on key sights throughout the tour. Drinks and snacks were good. Overall a very good experience.

Worthwhile Experience - A bit difficult when arriving early as the “official greeter” hadn’t arrived and lots of others trying to trick you onto a different tour. Boat was fine but not exactly a luxury yacht. However the tour guide worked extremely hard to point out all the sites to guests scattered throughout the boat. Views were very nice and in general a very relaxing and enjoyable experience.

Very average cruise - We were struggling at first what company to choose from (since there are many options and prices vary). Finally, we decided to go with this company since their price was in a middle range. Now after experiencing the tour I can say I’m glad we didn’t choose the higher priced one because it wouldn’t worth it. Very simple cruise. Don’t expect VIP service or a lot of info on a history. You won’t learn much and hopefully you’ll be able to hear what they say at all. The ship was okay, music was too loud, it was impossible to talk (maybe because we were too close to the speaker). Snacks were average, in fact, I didn’t try any (baklava and Turkish savory cookies) and fruit platter that was tasty and sweet. They also offered bottled lemonade and beer for extra cost. It definitely didn’t feel like a tour, it was kind of taking a ferry where you’re on your own enjoying the scenery. I wouldn’t pay more for that. It was an Okay experience.
