It was a perfect activity to do in Istanbul. Very well organized and the guide was also very competent. I would really recommend this trip.

It’s a interesting historical tour relating how Turkey occupies the link to both the European and Asian continents.

A great way to spend a relaxing few hours seeing Istanbul from a different perspective. Great tour guide and lovely snacks provided along the way.

What a lovely tour! I did the afternoon tour and For $50 they pick you up from your hotel and drop you off, a 2.5 hour tour on the water with a stop to purchase authentic Turkish yogurt on the Asian side, commentary on all the beautiful palaces, and snacks and drinks! The ship is beautiful and not too big…doesn’t feel too touristy. The staff are all very friendly. Highly reccomend!

Very interesting and informative guide. Lots of fun facts and history. The quick stop on the Asian side was a nice little break

This is a weather-dependent experience. The warmer and calmer the weathe, the better will be your experience. This is a pleasant trip to get your bearings up and down the Bosphorus. Some snacks are provided (but don't skip your breakfast or lunch). You will have about 20 minutes to buy a gelato treat on the Asian side. The guide gave regular updates on what we were seeing. The problem is that only the 10 people in the very back of the boat had a really unobstructed view. The same clear coverings on the side of the viewing level of the boat made it difficult to get good views and good photos. Other boat rides might be better.
