The two-hour boat trip was fascinating, and when it rained we were served hot tea and snacks. Our guide was very well-informed and shared great historical facts throughout

Nice boat ride, gives you a much broader understanding of the lay of the land. Beautiful sights and sunset, and the guides were nice.

It was a great experience. Beautiful city and the views by boat are even better. Get on the boat early so you can secure a desirable spot. Best to travel with a conscientious reliable partner.

Nice and value for money cruise cover both European and Asia side with English s d Russian commentary. Gives us about 30 minutes to explore the Asian side of Istanbul. before cruising back to starting point. .

I think the cruise was a wonderful way to see the city sights. It crossed from Europe to Asia side of the city and returned back to Europe after sunset. The gentleman who was doing the English translation was very good - he spoke in gentle demeanor and gave a detailed illustration of each landmark we passed. I felt I could have dong without the 1 hour stop near Beylerbeyi Palace as the palace was closed when we got there and not much to see in that vicinity. But I thoroughly enjoyed the cruise - caught a glimpse of sunset en route too

Very enjoyable and well-organised tour. The guides were kmowledgeable and funny, and tea and biscuits are provided. Perhaps it was because of the dates, but it didn't feel very crowded. The only con is that by the time you get to Beylerbeyi, on the Asian side, the palace and its gardens are already closed, but I guess that's the price to pay to see a stunning sunset. Seriously magical.

Very enjoyable. Everything ran on schedule and the ride was peaceful and enjoyable. The trip over to the Asian side of Istanbul was a welcomed change of pace from the tourist areas of the European side

A scenic boat ride down the Bosphorus makes for a restful day. Being able to spend some time shopping on the Asiatic side is interesting, too.
