This was a great tour. The guide and all the staff were very friendly, our guide was very chatty and personable with all the groups on the tour. He was also really knowledgeable and answered questions about things not specifically on script which was very nice. We thought this was a great way to see both sides, well worth the price and was a great stopover to enjoy some yogurt on the Asian side. I would recommend doing this tour, it’s a nice way to spend an afternoon!

This was a good cruise! A little short for the price but I would do it again. I wish we had more than 15 minutes to explore the yogurt area, maybe that can be an accommodation for future trips. The snacks, tea and Turkish coffee were excellent!! The commentator was amusing and very informative.

My family fully satisfied with this tour. It was enough to longer than expected, and guide was also very professional. Finally, price is reasonable.

Almost private experience on the Bosphor. The cruise and the boat crew were lovely. The boat was great and perfect for this type of excursions. On the boat we were served lovely snacks, tea and coffee

This was a very well organised trip, from before we were collected we were informed by WhatsApp of the exact vehicle picking us up (photos too) to how we were treated through the 2.5 hour trip. From stepping onto the boat we were given drinks and snacks and throughout the trip we received more drinks and snacks. Nahed gave commentary throughout the trip and she obviously knows her stuff, very informative and lovely and friendly; all the staff on board were. Highly recommended trip.

Nahed was an amazing guide and the tour was relaxing and very enjoyable. I learned more about the history of Istanbul and its neighborhoods. Delicious snacks were an extra treat. Highly recommended tour.
