Beautiful

It was a lovely evening; the Bosphorus is gorgeous. Great snacks and the tour guide was easy to understand and provided a lot of good information. The seats in the front of the boat are best - take a jacket and wear closed shoes this time of year! Also the transportation staff (hotel transfer) were friendly and professional.

Old Crone Boat Review

Went on the cruise with two women in their upper 70s. They both enjoyed their two hours on the water. One chose to stay inside and the other was outside. A good sampling of Turkish snacks to include baklava and fruit/nuts were included. One thing I would have liked to have changed is that the pickup time is not the same as the one shown in the listing. We were under the impression that we were being picked up at 5 pm when the reality was they stopped by at 4:30pm. I would have appreciated being informed of the meetup time prior to departing. Staff was kind to my mother with walking issues and she appreciated getting a front row seat with ouch standing in line for it.
