The yacht was way nicer and more well equipped than we expected for the price on Viator. The staff were so accommodating and went out of their way to take care of us. All kinds of snacks, tea, coffee, blankets were provided. The guide was excellent as well. Istanbul is getting expensive but this would have been a good deal at twice the price.

Great experience . Saw many cool places in Istanbul on both the European and Asian sides of the Bosphorus River. I did not expect food on the trip, yet we were provided with tasty treats several times during the tour. We also stopped for tasty yogurt on the Asian side. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and pointed out many points of interest. The only issue that we had was that the directions that we received from Viator were unclear and we did not have a number to call. Thankfully the tour guide called us. I would have hated to miss this.

We booked the morning of and received quick confirmation via Whats app. Beautiful day and small boat. Tour guide in English gave details and allowed for enjoyment. Very nice snacks and attentive team. Magical to hear call to prayer simultaneously from Asian and European side. Highly recommend!

There were three vessels pull into the dock at the same time and there was some chaos allocating guests to each boat. This led to a slightly delayed departure and the snacks and drinks all came round more or less immediately, when it would’ve been nicer to have these staggered throughout the trip. The stop on the Asian side was nice, although there was no time to explore other than the immediate port area, which consisted of a busy café and not much else. The commentary from the tour guide was very basic, but the views more than made up for this. If you are lucky with the weather, this is a great trip.

Luxurious yacht, snacks and tea after embarking, tour guide commentary for coastal landmarks, enjoyable landing and side trip to yogurt cafe in Asia, then smooth sailing back to Europe. Great way to experience the beauty of Istanbul and it’s unique waterway.
