Excellent curated Bosphorus tour. - This is an excellent trip, despite the weather and our guide, Murat was very knowledgeable. The boat takes a small number to view many great historical sites. The staff were charming, gave us good snacks and coffee. Highly recommended

Bosphorus Cruise – A Highlight of Our Time in Istanbul - This cruise was the absolute highlight of our two days in Istanbul! The boat was spacious and well-kept, and we were lucky to get seats right at the front—perfect for soaking in the stunning views along the Bosphorus. Seeing the grand palaces and beautiful residences from the water was unforgettable. The commentary was informative and engaging, adding context to the breathtaking sights. We especially enjoyed the lovely stop for locally made yogurt and ice cream, along with the traditional Turkish tea and snacks served on board—a truly authentic touch. Service throughout was warm and attentive. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a scenic, relaxing, and culturally rich experience in Istanbul.

100% recommended experience to visit the Bosphorus. - A trip worthwhile and much first very well organized and the guide Nehed a girl who speaks several languages excellent. He explained everything super well any question he could answer. The overall team of 10 served us the typical Turkish tea with something to nibble and then Turkish coffee. The stop even the Asian side try the typical Kanlica super-rich kefir. The tour lasts about 21⁄2 hours and is perfect for you to visit the Dolmabache Palace on your way back as it is where people disembark.

Bosphorus Cruise - We had a very pleasant cruise on the Bosphorus seeing the sights on both sides of the strait. The yacht was very comfortable allowing for plenty of movement to catch all the sights no matter where you happened to sit. Tea and snacks added to the day. And the tour guide provided plenty of information about the history and details of what we were sailing by. And with a lot of humor as well! A great way to see the sights along the strait.
