Great to hear. Let me know if you need anything else.

Helpful? Yes

The experience was definitely worth the cost! Even though the audio guide only provided information about the ship and was difficult to understand, it didn't take away from the overall enjoyment. It's also worth mentioning that the ship departed nearly 30 minutes behind schedule, but the tour was extended by that amount of time, which made up for it. A truly memorable experience the views were stunning.

Helpful? Yes

The cruise along the Bosphorus was lovely, with a great explanation of the landmarks we passed. It was definitely worth it.

Everything was wonderful the insightful explanations, the stop in the Asian district, the tea and cakes provided, and of course, the beautiful sunset.

Helpful? Yes

This trip exceeded all our expectations. We were only expecting a simple ride, but Dilek made it so much more. She was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and fun to be around. She picked us up right at the port, the van was clean and air-conditioned, and the guided tour really gave us a deeper understanding of the history. We also had some free time afterward to explore before heading back to our ship.

The location is very convenient and easy to find. The venue has both upper and lower decks, giving you the option to choose your preferred view. Inside, there’s a small shop where you can grab hot drinks and light snacks. It’s a fantastic chance to enjoy breathtaking views of both Europe and Asia from various angles.

Helpful? Yes

It was a fantastic trip for the price. The audio guide offered a thorough overview of several important spots, which was really helpful. Definitely worth it.

A beautiful experience to watch the Istanbul sunset. I would have preferred an Italian guide on the app, but luckily, after exploring the city in the previous days, I was already familiar with much of the cultural background.

The experience was well organized, and we thoroughly enjoyed the stunning scenery.

Helpful? Yes

It was an excellent experience! The entire trip was well organized, and we had the chance to enjoy some truly breathtaking scenery. Highly recommend it.

Helpful? Yes

Absolutely top notch. Everything was fantastic, from start to finish. Would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great experience.

Helpful? Yes

For just €8, it’s hard to complain. The trip lasted around two hours, and we were lucky with great weather. You get to see a lot, and it was a refreshing change from all the walking in Istanbul. The boat wasn’t dirty, and the vendors weren’t aggressive either. Yes, they pass by every few minutes, but there’s no pressure to buy anything. We really enjoyed the trip and had a wonderful time.

Helpful? Yes

Nice view and walking around Istanbul is very interesting.

Helpful? Yes

Very satisfied with the experience. The sunset is definitely something I’d recommend it made the trip even more special.

That was great! Everything went smoothly, and I really enjoyed the experience. Would definitely recommend it.

Helpful? Yes

A fantastic experience overall. The restroom wasn’t working, but honestly, the sea breeze made up for it. It didn’t affect my enjoyment at all, and I still had a great time. Would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a fun, scenic trip.

Helpful? Yes

An excellent trip. There was an issue with the timing on our ticket, but after messaging the tour guide, they were incredibly helpful and allowed us to join a later departure without any trouble. This is definitely a must do experience there are so many sights to take in, and it offers great value for money. The boat itself was fantastic.

Helpful? Yes

Everything was well organized, but I didn't get a link to the guide or it was neither in the app nor in the confirmation

Helpful? Yes

It’s cheaper to buy the tickets on site. I had asked for the name of the app to download for the audio guide, but I never got a response. Even after purchasing, the ticket didn’t mention the app name. Despite this, the activity itself was really enjoyable, and the kids absolutely loved it.

Helpful? Yes

The boat itself is excellent. The audio guide is only available in English, but this isn’t an issue as long as you’re comfortable with the language.

Helpful? Yes

The boat was great fast, comfortable, and not overcrowded, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

Helpful? Yes

A great experience from start to finish! Would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for something enjoyable.

Helpful? Yes

The sunset was fantastic! However, I couldn’t find anywhere to download the app as mentioned. Also, it was a bit hard to hear the onboard speaker, especially since it was only available on the second floor.

Helpful? Yes

An excellent trip! Everything was well organized, and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience from start to finish.

Helpful? Yes

Everything was great no issues at all. I had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend it.

Helpful? Yes

It was good. A pleasant experience, and I’m happy with how everything went.

Helpful? Yes

Excellent experience. Everything went smoothly, and I couldn’t have asked for more. Highly recommended.

Helpful? Yes

Great value for money. The location was easy to find, and there was plenty of space on board. The cruise was the perfect length not too short, not too long. You can also buy drinks and snacks while onboard. There were many sights to see along the way. The only downside was that the loudspeaker announcements only covered three sights. But overall, I’d definitely recommend this if you’re looking to just relax and enjoy the cruise.

Helpful? Yes

Good experience. Everything went smoothly, and I enjoyed it overall. Would definitely consider doing it again.

Helpful? Yes

Seeing the sights from the Bosphorus was a truly unique experience. Everything went smoothly, and we had a fantastic time. We really enjoyed it and would highly recommend this cruise to others. Thanks for the great experience.

Helpful? Yes

An amazing cruise. Everything about it was perfect, from the views to the smooth ride. Would definitely recommend.

Helpful? Yes

Everything was good. The experience was enjoyable and met all expectations. Would definitely do it again.

Helpful? Yes

The cruise to see the Bosphorus was great. If you use the audio guide, you can listen to it on your smartphone through a link. If you're with a group, you can share one guide, so you don’t have to pay extra for each person

Helpful? Yes

You can only fully enjoy the sights from certain spots because the windows were quite dirty, which made it hard to see clearly from other areas.

Helpful? Yes

I arrived early and asked about the bus, and they mentioned they'd been waiting for 15 minutes. I had printed out my ticket, but the company name was listed incorrectly on the app, so I nearly missed the bus. Fortunately, the bus left a little late, which saved me from wasting my money.

Helpful? Yes

The location was hard to find. Once we arrived at the harbor, we were redirected to a different boat three times, which was a bit confusing.

Helpful? Yes

This was a great way to explore the Bosphorus and capture some photos from the water. You receive a link to the audio tour, which syncs with your location and starts playing when you reach each point of interest. Personally, I’m not a huge fan of this kind of tour since it’s a bit noisy onboard, and it’s not always ideal having your ear glued to your phone while trying to take photos. However, I chose it for the cost savings. The boat itself had two levels, and drinks were available for purchase.

Helpful? Yes

Finding the exact location was a bit tricky since the name on the ship didn’t match what was on our ticket. We had to ask for directions, and someone pointed us to the right boat. Pulling up the ticket on our phone was also a bit more complicated than with other tickets we’ve used. That said, we got on board without any major issues, and the cruise itself was great. We were able to see everything we wanted at a fraction of the price compared to other cruises.

Helpful? Yes

The boat itself wasn’t very comfortable. If you want a seat with a good view, it’s best to arrive earlier, or you’ll end up mostly watching other passengers. On the plus side, the staff was very friendly. Just be aware that they don’t accept card payments onboard.

Helpful? Yes

The boat was spacious, and the cruise was very comfortable. It made for a relaxing experience overall.

Helpful? Yes

I believe a Bosphorus cruise is a must do when you’re in Istanbul it really helps you get oriented with the city's geography. The return journey offers the best views. It's also a fun experience as the group is a nice mix of locals and tourists.

Helpful? Yes

For just £8 each, this was a lovely and affordable way to see the Bosphorus and Istanbul from the water. We took the 6 pm cruise, which coincided with golden hour as the sun began to set, casting a beautiful light over the city. It does get chilly once the sun goes down, so it’s a good idea to bring a coat or jumper.

Helpful? Yes

The location was easy to find, right next to the ferry terminal on the Fatih side of Galata Bridge. We paid £16 for two tickets, which was an incredible value for a 1.5-hour cruise. We saw plenty of sights and more. If I ever get the chance to visit Istanbul again, I would definitely take this trip once more.

Helpful? Yes

A very pleasant trip along the Bosphorus, offering a better perspective of this beautiful city. It’s a bit disappointing that there aren’t seats on the upper deck, as the view is often blocked by other passengers and the boat’s structure. That said, it’s still great value for the price.

Helpful? Yes

The cruise was enjoyable, and the weather was perfect. We had a great time overall and really appreciated the experience.

Helpful? Yes

We would have loved a 7pm cruise, but unfortunately, there wasn't one available on a weekday.

Helpful? Yes

The audio tour is only available on the rear deck. If you're sitting on the right side of the boat, you'll get the best views. On the left side, you’ll mostly just see the sun on the return trip, and there’s no visual content to go with the commentary. The service on the boat was friendly, and the prices were reasonable.

Helpful? Yes

The cruise was excellent and offered great value for money. The only downside was that we were provided with an audio guide, but without Wi-Fi, it was difficult to use effectively.

Helpful? Yes

The tour runs on the hour, which should definitely be mentioned in the description. We were rushing to catch our 4 pm tour, only to find out that it operates every hour, so there was no need to hurry. Apart from that, the tour was well worth it, offering views of all the key landmarks related to Turkey's history.

Helpful? Yes

It was a good experience overall, but my tickets didn’t arrive, so we had to do quite a bit of persuading before they allowed us to board. Once that was sorted, everything went smoothly.

Helpful? Yes

A must do activity to experience the beauty of Istanbul from the Bosphorus. I’d recommend dressing warmly, as it can get chilly. The audio guide could be improved it offers very brief and general descriptions of the attractions, leaving you wanting more detail.

Helpful? Yes

It was good, though nothing extraordinary. The audio guide didn’t work, and there were a lot of people on board, but the sights were definitely worth it.

Helpful? Yes

Beautiful experience! Everything was stunning, and it was a really memorable trip.

Helpful? Yes

This is a must do excursion in Istanbul to truly experience the unique charm of the city.

Helpful? Yes

The tour was perfectly fine for the price. The only issue was finding the tour operator, which was a bit challenging. Other than that, it was a practical excursion, and the boat safely cruised across the Bosphorus. Unfortunately, the announcements about the sights weren’t very clear.

Helpful? Yes

A good basic introduction to Istanbul with nice views from the water. It was a bit tricky to figure out which boat we were on, as there are several tours in the area, and we had to ask around. The web page for the audio tour was decent but could be improved it wasn’t well optimized for Android smartphones, and the GPS feature worked to autoplay, but only if the screen was on.

Helpful? Yes

It was okay overall. We had to deal with cold weather and wind, and unfortunately, I couldn’t find the guide in English, which made it a bit challenging.

Helpful? Yes

It was a bit difficult to find the station, but once we got there, the cruise was very enjoyable and pleasant.

Helpful? Yes

There was no audio guide available, but aside from that, it was a really nice tour.

Helpful? Yes

The view was amazing! It’s definitely worth it for the scenic experience alone.

Helpful? Yes

The boat trip was nice, but unfortunately, we couldn’t hear the loudspeaker, so we missed out on the information.

Helpful? Yes

It did exactly what it promised. Very affordable. The GPS-linked audio was good and provided useful information.

Helpful? Yes

It felt like a regular ferry ride, with no commentary about the sights we passed. One staff member served tea and salep, which was a lovely touch in the cold weather, while another offered to take photos and invited us to buy them. It’s a good way to relax and pass the time if you're not sure where to go next.

Helpful? Yes

The tour was great, especially the return trip at sunset. However, the ticket acceptance process was a bit troublesome. We had to send a screenshot to a WhatsApp number to get new QR codes because our original one couldn’t be scanned. Unfortunately, the ticket inspector was quite unfriendly and didn’t speak English, but eventually, it all worked out. We weren’t the only ones with this issue.

Helpful? Yes

A quick tour along the Bosphorus that gave us a great view of the busy boat traffic, historic buildings, and beautiful scenery all in under two hours. Definitely worth it.

Helpful? Yes

It’s a lovely way to travel along the Bosphorus. Unfortunately, the ship was quite noisy, and the announcements meant to be in both Turkish and English were almost impossible to understand. An audio guide wouldn’t have worked due to the general noise on board. Despite that, it was a pleasant trip at a reasonable price and definitely worth it. There’s no Wi-Fi, but you can buy tea and snacks on the boat.

Helpful? Yes

The route and duration were great, but unfortunately, the speakerphone guide couldn’t be heard clearly.

Helpful? Yes

This tour gives you a chance to see all of Istanbul, unlike shorter trips that mainly focus on the historic center. The audio guide on the phone is very detailed, though there were some glitches, especially when trying to take photos at the same time. I couldn’t download the guide, so I had to access it online, which was a bit inconvenient. The boat was noisy and had a strong smell, and the welcome we received was surprisingly cold.

Helpful? Yes

A great way to experience Istanbul from a different perspective.

Helpful? Yes

Well, that was a bit of a letdown. Honestly, not what I expected.

Helpful? Yes

Great value for money. I highly recommend this activity, especially around sunset it adds a magical touch to the experience.

Helpful? Yes

The signage to find the location and identify the correct boat was lacking, which made it a bit confusing at first.

Helpful? Yes

Everything was fine, but it could have used a bit more atmosphere to make the experience feel more engaging.

Helpful? Yes

The journey from the starting point up to the bridge was great with lots of explanations, but the other side was a bit quiet and lacked much to see. The food and drinks onboard were quite expensive, so it’s a good idea to bring your own snacks and drinks. Overall, it’s still good value for money.

Helpful? Yes

The audio guide didn’t work, which was quite disappointing, especially since I paid for it. The cruise went on without any translation, which made it less enjoyable.

Helpful? Yes

Definitely worth doing. It’s a really cool way to see the sights and experience the city from a different perspective.

Helpful? Yes

It was a boat tour covering the most important parts of both coasts of Istanbul. If you're interested in seeing more of the Golden Horn area, I’d recommend looking for a longer tour.

Helpful? Yes

The boat size was excellent, providing plenty of space. However, the guide could have gone into more detail on the topics covered.

Helpful? Yes

The excursion time was perfect, and the price-to-quality ratio is definitely 10/10. However, the audio guide didn’t work very well, especially with the GPS feature, making it hard to follow the audio while traveling. If they improve that, I’d highly recommend it.

Helpful? Yes

It was fine. Nothing extraordinary, but still an enjoyable experience overall.

Helpful? Yes

The cruise was well organized, and the reception staff were very kind. Everything is done through an audio guide via an app, so it's best to download it before arriving at the site.

Helpful? Yes

The cruise was well planned and easy to navigate. The staff at the reception desk were friendly and helpful. However, most of the experience relies on an audio guide system through an app, so I’d recommend downloading it before you get there to avoid any delays.

Helpful? Yes

The food was enjoyable, there were some pleasant entertainment choices, and the service on board was excellent. Overall, it offered great value for the price.

Helpful? Yes

The dining options were tasty, and there were plenty of fun activities to enjoy. The crew provided excellent service throughout the trip. Considering the quality, I’d say it was definitely worth the price.

Helpful? Yes

It was a lovely cruise with comfortable seating both indoors and outside to take in the views. The route passed by some stunning sights. The only downside was that the bar staff kept approaching us with items to purchase, even after we declined. It started to feel like we were expected to buy something.

Helpful? Yes

We had a wonderful time on this cruise! There were plenty of seating areas, both indoors and outdoors, to relax and take in the stunning scenery. The route passed by many breathtaking sights. The only downside was the bar staff repeatedly approaching us to sell drinks and snacks after several polite refusals, it started to feel a bit pushy.

Helpful? Yes

We thoroughly enjoyed the cruise and had no trouble locating the departure point. However, we were disappointed that the promised smartphone audio guide wasn't available as advertised - only Turkish and English announcements were played over the boat's speakers. The route took us north along the Bosphorus, which meant we didn't get to see landmarks like Hagia Sophia during our journey.

Helpful? Yes

The trip was very enjoyable, and finding the pier was straightforward. However, contrary to the description, there was no personal audio guide available via smartphone. Instead, general information in Turkish and English was broadcast over the boat’s loudspeakers. The route went north along the Bosphorus, so landmarks like Hagia Sophia were not part of the sights.

Helpful? Yes

The directions to the departure point could have been more precise, and it would have been useful to know in advance which cruise company was operating the tour. We booked the 12:00 cruise but arrived at 11:45 only to be informed that there was no cruise at that time, and the next one would depart at 12:45. Additionally, the audio guide occasionally cut out, as if we had already passed the landmarks being described.

Helpful? Yes

The meeting point instructions could be more detailed, and it would be useful to know which operator runs the cruise beforehand. During the trip, the audio commentary sometimes cut out, as if we'd already sailed beyond the relevant landmarks.

Helpful? Yes

The cruise offered spectacular views and covered an impressive route, but I couldn't use the audio guide as promised. The staff at the ticket booth never provided me with the necessary access code to make it work.

Helpful? Yes

The views and the length of the cruise were excellent, but the audio guide didn’t function. I wasn’t provided with an access code for the audio at the booth, which made it impossible to use.

Helpful? Yes

The cruise offered beautiful scenery, but it was unfortunate that the audio guide only played continuously without the option to replay any parts.

Helpful? Yes

A pleasant journey on the water that offered good value for the price.

Helpful? Yes

The boat was very clean and had refreshments available on board. Booking through GetYourGuide costs twice as much you can save money by booking directly. The tour itself is enjoyable and lasts about 1.5 hours, offering postcard worthy views. However, the seats are uncomfortable for the entire trip.

Helpful? Yes

The vessel was spotless and offered drinks for purchase. I noticed booking via GetYourGuide costs twice as much you’ll save significantly by reserving directly with the operator. The 90 minute tour itself was enjoyable, featuring stunning scenic views. My only complaint would be the seating, which wasn’t very comfortable for the full duration

Helpful? Yes

The cruise itself was pleasant, but I was disappointed that there was no audio commentary available during the journey to explain the sights along the way.

Helpful? Yes

The tour was enjoyable, though having staff available at each stop to provide guidance would have improved the experience.

Overall, a good experience, with the price being the main highlight. Just be aware that someone on board offers drinks and food without clearly saying they come at a cost some passengers around us weren’t happy about that.

Helpful? Yes

A solid experience with great value as the standout feature. Just a heads-up: a vendor circulates offering snacks and drinks without clearly stating they’re not complimentary several passengers nearby seemed caught off guard by this.

Helpful? Yes

The trip was definitely worth it. The views from the water were stunning, and getting there was simple, exactly as described no transport needed.

The instructions were clear, but the tour description could be more precise. The guide's voice was hard to hear at times, so it would be helpful if a digital PDF with the same information was available.

Helpful? Yes

The cruise was enjoyable, but understanding the audio was a bit challenging. Also, the cruise finishes over 1 km from the starting pier, which was unexpected.

Helpful? Yes

The cruise itself was enjoyable, but the audio guide was a bit hard to follow. You have to download the 'Your Mobile Guide' app on your phone and bring your own headphones. Another downside the tour finishes over a kilometer away from where it starts, which wasn’t clearly mentioned beforehand.

Helpful? Yes

UI’m really happy we chose this tour instead of splurging on one of the pricier boat trips available it was a great value for the experience.

Helpful? Yes

Overall, the experience was satisfactory.

Helpful? Yes

It was a decent experience nothing extraordinary, but not bad either. The tour met basic expectations without standing out in any particular way

Helpful? Yes

The price to quality ratio was fair. The speakers for the guide commentary could be better and should also cover the outdoor seating areas. The staff were very friendly, and we had no trouble rescheduling our booking time.

Helpful? Yes

The tour offered reasonable value for the price. While the audio speakers explaining the sights could be improved both in sound quality and positioning toward the outdoor seating the crew was exceptionally helpful. They accommodated our schedule change without any problems

A very pleasant and relaxing ride with an audio guide. Fortunately, there was plenty of room on the top deck for everyone, and everything was wellorganized. Easy to reach by tram, and definitely worth the price.

Helpful? Yes

A very nice and relaxing walk, with audio guide. Luckily there was enough space for all the people who got on the top of the boat and everything looked good. Easy to get to with the tram. For the price, it is quite worth it.

Helpful? Yes

The tour itself was enjoyable, though uncomfortably packed with people. The experience would be significantly improved if they limited group sizes - it's just too many people sharing the space at once.

Even though it was quite crowded and the waiter charged us for drinks that were meant to be included, the cruise was still worthwhile. The audio guide, however, was rather limited.

Helpful? Yes

Despite the overcrowding and an unexpected charge for what we thought were complimentary drinks, the cruise itself delivered good value. The audio guide, however, fell short it lacked depth and useful information

A beautiful experience that offers views of both the European and Asian sides of the city at once. Passing under the bridges and seeing the elegant villas along the Bosphorus was particularly striking. The only downside was the lack of an Italian audio guide.

Helpful? Yes

A breathtaking journey showcasing both continental shores simultaneously. Highlights include sailing beneath majestic bridges and admiring the luxurious waterside residences. The experience would be even better with russian audio commentary available.

Helpful? Yes

Great value cruise with timely departures and plenty of shade. Enjoy halal sandwiches and juices onboard, but skip the weak restrooms. Politely decline photographers upfront to avoid sales pitches.

Helpful? Yes

Good value and on-time departure. Plenty of shade, which helps in summer. Snacks and drinks are sold on board. Toilets are disappointing, so plan ahead. Photographers may pressure you to buy framed photos—best to decline at the start if not interested.

Good cruise with multiple stops and the option to rejoin later using the same ticket. Mostly visits the western Bosphorus. Simple onboard guide provided. Fruit snack included, other snacks cost extra. A nice alternative to dinner cruises.

For the price, it’s okay. However, be cautious on the boat drinks and cheese meat wraps are handed out as if included. Otherwise, it was easy to find and navigate, though it was uncomfortably hot.

The meeting point was easy to locate, though the intense heat made the experience less comfortable. No prices were displayed for the onboard items.

Stunning location with a warm welcome from the staff, who provided helpful guidance on selecting the stops during the cruise.

Helpful? Yes

Make sure the app is working properly, as the boat’s speakers were difficult to hear.

A tour that offers unique views of Istanbul from different perspectives. Arrive early to get a good spot for photos and take time to admire the magnificent buildings along the way.

Helpful? Yes

The audio quality was not very good.

Helpful? Yes

I went in March thinking, "Where's the sunset?" but even though we departed at 5:00 p.m., it was still bright and I couldn't see the sun set at all. However, I was able to see some places that would have been difficult to find on my own, so it was still a good experience. Although it said there would be a guide, there was no guide at all. The departure point was difficult to find, and I was very anxious when I arrived just in time.

Helpful? Yes

I’ve done this tour before and found it a bit chaotic, with too many people and poor organization. There was no clear sign marking the boat entrance. Also, only those seated on the left side get good views of the coast, while the other side sees very little, even on the return trip. So, it’s best to choose a seat on the left.

Helpful? Yes

There was no alcohol available on board.

Helpful? Yes

For the price, it was acceptable. The trip was fairly long but very crowded, and the seats were not very comfortable. I found the public ferry the next day to be more comfortable and convenient.

Helpful? Yes

Improvements needed include a clearer, more audible audio guide and punctual departures, as today’s cruise left 30 minutes earlier than scheduled.

Helpful? Yes

The place was very crowded, which made it tough to take clear photos or enjoy the experience fully. The guide gave only short explanations, so it felt a bit rushed overall. I would’ve liked more time and detail at each stop.

Helpful? Yes

The trip was good, you pass through beautiful places and there is also a guided tour on loudspeakers. It's just that the sound was bad, you didn't understand much and also the service at the entrance to the port was bad as was the organization. I showed them the ticket but they insisted on seeing the email with the 2 tickets as there were 2 of us. I explained to them that I received a ticket that stated the number of 2 people and they seemed not to want to accept it. In general there was rudeness before boarding.

Helpful? Yes

We breathe in the fuel oil for over a quarter of an hour before the boat leaves. Otherwise it's fine.

Helpful? Yes

My partner and I did the sunset cruise, and honestly, it was one of the highlights of our trip to Istanbul. The views were absolutely stunning, especially when the sun dipped behind the skyline. The audio guide was actually really interesting – not too dry, but packed with cool facts. We loved seeing both sides of the city from the water. Super chill way to spend an evening.

Helpful? Yes

Really appreciated how calm and easy this tour was. I was traveling alone, and this gave me time to reflect and enjoy the city in a different way. The audio commentary was surprisingly well done not just names and dates, but stories. Would recommend especially if you're into history.

Helpful? Yes

I wanted something relaxing after a long day of walking, and this cruise was exactly what I needed. You just sit back, listen to the stories on the audio guide, and watch the city glide by. The boat was comfortable, and boarding was easy. Definitely worth it if you're traveling solo like me.

Helpful? Yes

We did this cruise as a family with two teens, and everyone enjoyed it. That’s saying something! The audio guide kept them engaged, and we all took so many pictures. It was a nice break from the hustle of the city without needing to leave the city. Totally recommend for families.

Helpful? Yes

We chose the daytime cruise and were really impressed with how smooth everything was. The audio guide added depth without being boring, and the views from the water were just beautiful. You get to see Istanbul from such a different perspective. Would absolutely do it again.

Helpful? Yes

Went with two friends, and we all loved it. The boat wasn’t overcrowded, and there was plenty of space to move around for the best views. We liked how you could sit and chill or walk to the sides for photos. It was our first day in Istanbul – perfect intro to the city.

Helpful? Yes

We did this on our anniversary trip and found it very romantic. The mix of historical buildings, beautiful homes on the Asian side, and the cool breeze made for such a pleasant ride. Bring your headphones the guide adds a lot to the experience. A must do in Istanbul.

Helpful? Yes

We went with our two young kids (ages 6 and 9) and were a bit nervous, but it was perfect. Easy to get on and off, no stress, and our kids loved spotting the big landmarks. The cruise didn’t feel too long either, which is great with little ones. Super relaxing.

Helpful? Yes

This was such a peaceful part of my Istanbul trip. I booked last minute and had zero issues finding the pier. The boat was clean, organized, and the audio guide was better than I expected. Great balance of learning and relaxing. I even got some great reading time in between listening.

Helpful? Yes

We were three friends exploring Istanbul for a long weekend, and this cruise gave us a perfect break from the walking. The bridge and fortresses looked amazing from the water. Plus, you get this real sense of how the city is spread across continents. Highly recommend.

Helpful? Yes

Really smooth experience. Everything was on time, and the boat was in great condition. The views of the palaces and the mosques from the water are something else. I also liked that we didn’t feel rushed just 90 minutes of quiet, scenic views with just the right amount of information.

Helpful? Yes

Honestly, this was a great value for the price. My husband and I were impressed with how professional it all was. We picked the sunset slot and wow the light on the water, the silhouettes of the mosques, just beautiful. This cruise gives you all the postcard views in real life.
