Serdar was a wonderful MC and provided not just facts but jokes along the way. While on the ship you get small snacks, water, Turkish tea, and Turkish coffee. The Yacht was very clean and the whole staff was kind.

Sailing on the Bosphorus is pure magic. The perfect way to see Istanbul from both continents at once. The breeze, the sunlight on the water. Highly recommend — take your time, breathe in the air, and let history do the talking.

Very comfortable and informative. Reasonable $$ price and great snacks. Loved the playlist. Not very crowded and round trip transportation from our hotel was provided at no extra cost.

The yacht ride was wonderful- tour guide was informative and music he selected during intervals enhanced the boating experience. The yacht crew served snacks, tea and a sweet. The pace of the ride was relaxing and the ability to be close to the shore allowed better views of the historical sites.
