If you're looking for a boat tour on the bosphorus, look no further! - Highly recommend booking this experience! Everything was seamless and a great experience. We requested hotel pick up (definitely worth it), and was called when the driver was on the way. We jumped right in and were taken to the location, no fussing with trying to find the meet up point. There were probably 30 people or so for the yacht, and there was plenty of seating without it feeling crowded. They brought snacks and water and tea automatically and there was a menu for alcoholic beverages for a charge if you wanted those. The guide along the boat tour was interesting and funny. The staff on the boat made sure you were taken care of. The stop on the Asia side was short but interesting. We also did the hotel drop off, and again, completely worth it. We were amazed at the organization of the staff. Everything was smooth and well planned. 10 out of 10!

Bosphorus Cruise - The boat tour was very scenic and the guide was knowledgeable. The guide also took us to a local yogurt shop when we docked and it was delicious.

Fun and relaxed - Great relaxed cruise with an excellent crew who made sure we were comfortable. The tour guide was great, and spoke about the things we saw. They also went out of their way to make my daughter feel entertained by giving her some binoculars and asking her to spot for dolphins. The boat is in nice condition and the times are just right in my opinion.

Excellent tour! - We really enjoyed our tour, even though it was in a dark and rainy day. The staff were very hospitable and we learned a lot about the city and the Bosporus as we cruised. The information we were given for the meetup point was clear, and we were sent reminders with photos via WhatsApp the day before - which was helpful. Everything was well communicated and ran on schedule. On the boat we were given snacks, tea and coffee - which was lovely. We would definitely recommend this tour. Perfect amount of time and great way to see and learn about the city.
