Wonderful Isn’t anbul - We had a wonderful time a great way to see the city. We were so grateful for flexibility. Due to flight delay we could not make our booking date and this provider graciously allowed us to take part the following night. Would be happy to recommend and use again if we are lucky enough to return to Istanbul

Wonderful sunset cruise - We cannot thank you enough for a brilliant trip. We didn’t want a cruise with dinner but there were canapés and fruit platters provided which were perfect. We were given water and the option of a cold or hot drink or to purchase beer. The commentary was informative and there was plenty of time to chat, listen to the music and enjoy the beautiful views. The boat was clean and comfortable. All the meeting point information was sent to us in advance with clear instructions and a map to the relevant location. Our hosts were super friendly and helpful and took their time to speak to everyone on board, offering help and information about our visit to Istanbul if we needed it. We cannot fault this experience. I am so grateful for your assistance with an issue that I had to enable us not to miss our trip. A heartfelt thank you for everything.

Good sightseen - The tour took some time to start, according to the guider it was due to security controls checks which is understandable, they also provided a percentage refund because of that. Apart from that the tour was really good, we got interesting information about the places we viewed.

Beautiful views - The yacht was good, the music nice, the group pleasant, not so big - the view during the trip quite great. What I didn't like so much - very little information, only "left you see... right you see...", without details, the speaker read his text beforehand on the phone and spoke very quickly. There was once tea to drink and once tea, coffee or lemonade. To eat some fruit, per person a half (!) vegetarian roll, a piece of baking lava and a cookie.

Not necessary - My mother was pushing to do this experience and having already done it elsewhere I accepted but I did wrong, the boat was giant but that is the least, they went around with sunset option and in the end we saw it from land because we left late, I do not know why it is so recommended.
