Stunning Views and Excellent Service - I had an amazing experience on the Sunset Tour with Blue Brothers! The whole trip was well organized, and the staff made everything easy and enjoyable from start to finish. The views were absolutely stunning, and the atmosphere was relaxing and fun. You can tell they really care about creating a great experience for their guests. I’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a memorable evening.

an amazing and cheap experience - I joined a hydrofoil tour on the Bosphorus and it was a truly enjoyable experience. One of the nicest surprises was being offered hot tea and biscuits, even though they were not included in the package. Such a simple gesture made the cruise feel very welcoming. The captain was extremely kind and attentive: not only did he conduct the tour with professionalism, but he also waited for me so I wouldn’t miss the departure. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to discover the Bosphorus with warm and thoughtful service.

The Best Way to Discover Istanbul by Water - We did the cruise along the Golden Horn and the Bosphorus and it was an excellent experience. Adelia, the guide in Russian and English, was outstanding – professional, friendly, and very knowledgeable, explaining everything we saw on both the European and Asian sides in a clear and engaging way. Luis, the Spanish-speaking guide on board, also deserves special mention. He is just 18 years old, from Venezuela, studying Mechatronics Engineering in Turkish, and we were amazed by his maturity, professionalism, kindness, and ambition. It was a real pleasure to meet him. The stop on the Asian side was a great bonus, giving us time to eat and explore. Overall, the tour was very well organized and we highly recommend it to anyone visiting Istanbul.

Glad we were part of it - Dayana was our host at Ibrahim Maral Sunset Cruise. Her presentation was very informative and dynamic, we all seemed to love the way she introduced us to the different sites, palaces, mosques, etc, in the historical, modern, and Asian part of Istambul. Dayana is very eloquent in both, English and Russian languages. Me and my husband strongly recommend this cruise. We enjoyed every single part of it. Dayana is the best!!
