Awesome experience with Venela Travel and our guide Murat
Awesome experience. Professional explanation by our guide Murat who is really knowledgeable on history of Istanbul. A lot of stories behind the scenes. A week ago we took the “normal” trip and I was wondering whether this trip which is 10 times more expensive would worthy it. At the end, amazing trip.

Greatest Boat Experience in Istanbul
Murat was an incredible guide, the boat ride was very peaceful and beautiful. Very good boat trip for the fee, and the length of it is perfect as well.
