Traveler reviews
Loved the sunset, the river, the fun music, and excellent narration from the guide
Our best photos from our whole cruise around the Aegean came from this sunset cruise along the "European" and the "Asian" sides of the Bosphorus. The little drinks and nibblies were great, too. A peaceful ending to a hectic day of sightseeing.
Excellent cruise
Fantastic cruise. Delivered what was promised. Very comfortable yacht with great service, lots of time to observe, well organized, courteous staff. Providing blankets was a nice touch and very welcome. Snacks and drinks were delicious and well timed during the cruise
Nice but not extraordinary
This was a generally fine experience. The boat itself was nice, the guide was polite, the on-board staff were very kind and attentive, and the ride around the Bosphorus was lovely. However, the tour ended very abruptly. My partner and I did not realize we reached the end of the tour and most of the group seemed confused both about the end of the tour and the help with transportation back to their hotel that they had expected.
Really good way to see...
Really good way to see city from a different vantage point. Sunset over Istanbul is a great photo op.
Better than the ferry!
Really nice way to experience the Bosphorus. The commentary and smaller group was what set this one above a standard ferry ride. Nice snacks and ability to order a drink was great too.
