Traveler reviews
This is the best way to get introduced to Istanbul!
We were looking for activities to do in Istanbul during a 2-day stopover on an 11-day Med cruise and thought a Bosphorus sunset cruise might be nice, so I booked it for a group of friends. Everyone agreed afterwards that it was easily the best part of our whole trip! Merve was a fantastic guide, very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the area, and answered our many questions. Even if you've visited Istanbul before, I recommend you tour it from a yacht as it gives you a completely different view. The transfer to and from the yacht also allowed us to see how the city comes alive in the evenings. I didn't know what to expect from my first trip to Istanbul, but after this experience, we are already making plans to return. The communication with the company and flexibility while making arrangements were fantastic, as we were able to extend to 3 hours and add more people. They also had a nice selection of drinks we could purchase on board.
Buyer beware. Nice boat ride, but not if you want to see a anything
The yacht was beautiful and the staff attentive. Our tour guide was good. However, the cruise was not as described. Upon leaving the port, we turned the opposite way down the river away from the Blue Mosque and other historical sites. It turned out to be a relatively boring river, cruise, looking at mostly residential homes along the waterfront. while beautiful, we felt this was a waste of time, given our limited time in Istanbul. Upon asking the guide, whether or not we would see the Sites, he said “no we wouldn’t. This was not the itinerary”. However, that is what was published. Huge waste of money
A Perfect Private Bosphorus Tour
We had an excellent trip cruising on the Bosphorus with Guided Istanbul Tours to begin our New Year on January 1. The boat was spacious and comfortable and the ride was smooth. Our guide, Merve, was engaging and informed. She told us something interesting about every building and sight we saw. We felt both relaxed and educated.
Wonderful Experience. Highly Recommend
The experience was absolutely great. The organizer crew was very professional. Our tour leader, Didam, was an amazing individual who went above and beyond to make sure our family would have a great experience. Highly recommend.
Amazing experience!!! A must do!!!
visiting the Bosphorus is something unique. we had an amazing experience with our tour guide, Neziha, who let us know all the stories and secrets of this wonderful region.
