Excellent tour of Dolmabahce Palace and Bosphorus Cruise! - Don't let the low reviews on Viator fool you, this company is one of the top-rated tour companies on TripAdvisor with thousands of reviews! We ended up having a private tour of Dolmabahce Palace as no one else booked the tour and an amazing boat cruise right after! The guides are very knowledgeable and interesting to listen to, and the boat is a proper modern yacht with comfortable seating and good bathrooms!

Had a wonderful experience - I highly recommend using velena to tour Istanbul. I did the walking tour and the Bosporus yacht cruise. The tour guides were educated, patient, trustworthy and went above and beyond to make sure the guest were comfortable. One of the guides walked my partner and me to the correct bus stop and paid our way onto the bus, so that we could get to lunch.
