Highlights

Bosphorus Strait - The Bosphorus, Ox-ford in English, runs for about twenty miles, at times like a river, at times as if a land-enclosed lake; then, before joining the Black Sea, it becomes a rocky, wild channel. The Bosphorus breathes calmly and regularly, and the flow of caiques echoes the rhythm with their slow splashes. Not only does the Bosphorus electrify the traveler by its light, but it also intoxicates him by the white incandescence of the sun on its bosom with blue sky pouring into it. It runs through the city of Istanbul, splitting it into two halves the city built on seven hills and described by one of her early foreign lovers, Julia Pardoe: Its clear calm sky, its glittering sea, its amphitheater of thickly-peopled hills, its geographical position, its political importance and above all, its surprising novelty, tend to make every day in that gorgeous scene, and under that sunny sky, a season of intense enjoyment.

an enjoyable Bosphorus cruise - My daughter and I really enjoyed the tour. It was not too long, the yacht was comfortable, we stopped over on the Asian side and the staff were friendly. The guide was very good and informative. He shared many current affairs and pop culture information with us, linked to places we were passing by. I can recommend this tour to people who want to see more of Istanbul, learn about pop culture and current affairs, enjoy fresh sea breeze in a comfortable vessel and touch the Asian ground :-)

Great afternoon cruise - A wonderful afternoon, enhanced by unusually sunny weather for February. Warm welcoming crew, great guide with a wealth of information and a dry sense of humour that made the tour both fascinating and good fun. This is relaxing and brilliant way to get an introduction to Istanbul. Thoroughly recommend.
