Above average quality for a fair price. Service and snacks excellent. - Tubga was our liaison. She was very nice, brought second servings of tea & mixed nuts, handed out blankets as the sun went down and passengers got chilly. She was very attentive. The trip was 2 hours. It comes with an app to download that describes the surrounding buildings (so no person on the boat announcing information). Some folks disliked this but I found it helpful to reduce the noise and can be done at my own pace. The snacks were delicious. Fresh strawberries, cherries, pears, and green apples. The mini pizzas were approximately 3 inches in diameter, and were definitely mini, but tasty. There is also a bathroom onboard the boat. I would say this trip is not wheelchair friendly or those that have extreme difficulty walking. When it comes to finding the meeting point, the tour communicated to me via WhatsApp with screenshots and a Google maps pinpoint location, which was very accurate. I had no problems finding the location. Overall, I liked the two hour boat ride, enjoyed the sunset views of Bosporus strait, and seeing the beautiful buildings. I would 10 out of 10 recommend again. I felt the price was fair for the quality of the experience.

A leisurely cruise on the Bosphorus - My girlfriend and I booked a day cruise on the Bosphorus. We wanted a comfortable boat with only a small group of fellow passengers. This cruise met our expectations. The weather was beautiful, the service attentive, and seeing the beauty of Istanbul from the sea was extremely enjoyable.

We did the sunset tour... - We did the sunset tour and had a wonderful evening. We appreciated the small size, which meant there was plenty of space to sit and watch the beautiful scenery. Tugba, our guide was very helpful and offered to take pictures with good backgrounds. The refreshments were good. All in all, we would recommend this tour.

We have such a great time... - We have such a great time on the boat. It was a nice sunny day with cold wind. You get to see the beautiful Istanbul from the water, a different perspective.

Very good way to experience Istanbul - It was a very pleasant experience to enjoy the view of Istanbul form the water. We did the cruise at sunset so we were able to take lots of picture with the perfect light that only sunset can give you, We loved it!

Nice Airport Transfer - Overall a decent experience... did take 30 minutes once we hit the outside and checked-in despite saying it will be about 10 minutes.. but driver was nice and got to place safely.

Mediocre tour on a rundown boat - I thinknall tours follow the same course, so this review is more about the boat and staff. First, the pre tour communication was good but the meeting place is not marked. There is no permanent location for pick up as all the other boats have. Getting on and off the boat is treacherous as you must use a rickety moving staircase. Any person with mobility issues should not join this tour. The boat itself is rather dump. The toilet was filthy and you could smell it before you even boarded. No safety talk was given and live vest location was not indicated. The other parts of the boat are fairly run down as well. Torn table cloth, dirty ashtray (smoking should not be permitted) and rubbish left around. The young woman who attended guests was very nice and helpful. The greeting staff were pleasant as well. Unfortunately, I can only recommend this tour for extreme budget seekers and then only if safety issues are addressed.
