The sunset Bosphorus tour in Istanbul was truly an unforgettable experience. As the sun slowly set and the city lights began to sparkle, the atmosphere became absolutely magical. The boat was comfortable, the staff were attentive, and the overall service exceeded our expectations. The wine and appetizers were excellent — beautifully presented and full of flavor. Watching the Istanbul skyline while sipping wine and feeling the gentle breeze of the Bosphorus was simply mesmerizing. It’s the perfect choice for a romantic evening or a special celebration. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged, making it a truly exceptional experience.

Our Bosporus yacht tour was absolutely unforgettable. Cruising between two continents with my girlfriend by my side felt magical — the gentle breeze, shimmering skyline, and historic palaces gliding by made it all surreal. The yacht itself was elegant and comfortable, with friendly staff who made sure we had everything we needed, from delicious drinks to great photo moments. Watching the sun set over Istanbul, painting the sky in shades of orange and pink, was easily one of the most romantic experiences we’ve ever had. It was the perfect mix of luxury, beauty, and serenity — a must-do experience for anyone visiting the city.

Great tour - friendly, helpful, enjoyable. Boat tour narrator informative and funny. He also provided great restaurant recommendations to escape tourist traps in Sultanahmet area. Highly Recommended!

We took a sunset cruise with Velena. It was the absolute best. The boat had setting below and on deck. There were about 24 passengers total. We were on the upper deck which was both inside & outside. The tour was perfect - light snacks served throughout. Beer and wine available for purchase. Special shout out to Emre our server and to Sahed who narrated the cruise and answered our questions. Both were excellent! The cruise was about 2.5 hours. Customer service in advance was perfect - when we had trouble finding the meet-up spot my WhatsApp query was answered at once. This was so relaxing - beautiful scenery, just enough history & info. Highly recommend!

Lovely cruise - just the right amount of time. And the pickup and return to our hotel was worth every penny. Istanbul traffic on the weekends is brutal. We loved the cruise sites narrative - very funny and informative with plenty of breaks to just enjoy the views . We were given blankets since it was a sunset cruise in October but didn’t really need them. The appetizers were delicious . I had actually missed our cruise on arrival day because of my error - and the company worked with the cruise operators to get me on one the next day- I am very appreciative. !

What a wonderful cruise! Boat was perfect - only about 30 onboard. We were on upper level / half inside, half outside making for excellent photo ops. Staff wonderful - special shout out to Emre and Nahad. Emre served the perfect amount of light snacks and drinks. Emre shared history & details on the sights as we passed them. Very laid back & relaxed. Excellent views. Truly the perfect Bosphorous cruise.

This Bosphorus yacht cruise was incredible from start to finish. Even with a bit of rain, the views were stunning and the atmosphere stayed cozy and fun. The highlight was the guide, engaging, and full of great stories. Crossing to the Asian side by yacht felt so special. Worth every penny — don’t miss it!

An absolute must do and very reasonably priced! We were served a lovely snack of cheese and fruit, Turkish tea with a yummy Turkish delight and Turkish coffee with dessert. Stunning views along with great commentary! Do it - you won’t regret it!!

We really enjoyed the sunset yacht cruise while on a one-day Istanbul stopover provided by Turkish Airways. They picked us up from our hotel and even dropped us off at the nearby restaurant we had chosen for dinner. It was a little chillier than expected but the staff provided blankets. Views were stunning and staff was very friendly and attentive. Highly recommend this fun experience.
