This was the highlight of the whole trip - My party was blown away with the experience. The tour guide was knowledgeable, the boat nice and clean, the food delicious, and the crew warm and welcoming. Everything was as good or better than we expected.
A question I had before going was whether we could bring our own drinks to the boat. If you’re wondering the same thing, the answer is yes.

I never write reviews but... - I never write reviews but I booked this experience as a surprise for my parents. They said it was one of the best experiences of their lives. The crew is super friendly and can customize the experience exactly how you need. VIP car pick up and drop off, photoshoot, custom meal choice. I wish I could’ve experienced it with them!

Highlight of our Istanbul visit - From greeting until the end of the trip, we had an amazing experience during our boat trip in Bosphorus, Istanbul.
We had booked the tour as part of our business trip in Istanbul. It is already the best way of experiencing Bosphorus where you sail between 2 continents with a fabulous boat but our guide Anil made it even more special. His commentary on landmarks of Istanbul coupled with social and historical context made it even more special. Even if we had a cloudy day, it was the highlight of our Istanbul visit.
I would recommend the experience to everyone for both social and business events.

Great way to experience Istanbul without all the hussle and bussle - Wife and I did the 2 hour dinner cruise. It was perfect! We had great weather and everyone was professional and courteous. The nice thing about this tour is you can add certain amenities such as private transfers to and from the dock (starting at 1500 TL...we did this and it was 1500 TL going from our hotel in Sultanahmet to the dock, which was about an hour drive in traffic), champagne and Turkish wine, and even a violinist! We just did the private transfer and champagne but they had a nice list of additional amenities. We started our boat ride and about 15 minutes in we made a little pit stop on the other side of the Bosphorus to pick up our dinner. The food was delicious and plentiful. We had mixed grill meats and chicken along with hummus, baba ganoush, etc....typical Turkish cuisine.

Fantastic way of seeing the city - This boat tour was fantastic! My wife and family were picked up at 10am for a 2 hour tour along the Bosphorus. Our hosts were incredible! They supplied drinks and snacks, as well as information on buildings and history of the Bosphorus.
The cruise was incredibly relaxing. Such a fantastic way of seeing Istanbul. Would definable recommend!

Greatest day I've ever spent in Istanbul - An unforgettable experience which spoiled me and left me wanting to only explore cities via boat tours. I lived most of my life in Istanbul but until this tour I didn't know about the architectural treasures and history the Bosporus held. The tour creators are experts on local history and architectural design. It's an amazing luxury to see the city from the sea. I will do it again, hopefully once a year.

The boat staff was great!... - The boat staff was great! The food was good, the service was excellent.
But at one point they left the boat floating so slow for a while in the waves (which made some of us feel sick) instead of running at a good speed, and that was very boring. Also, the English speaking tour guide was not great. We didn't feel like we learned a lot.
