Robert met us and did not leave anyone out through the entire trip. Impressive in itself to see the European side on the outward trip and the Asian side in the inbound; the timing of the perfect sunset views was impressive.

Lovely cruise
Angela_H, Oct 2023
This was a fun experience ! It’s not really a “luxury yacht” but it is a much smaller option than the other big tours and so feels a lot more personal. I would happily pay the extra for this tour versus the other options

Nothing in particular....
ioannis_k, Sep 2023
Nothing in particular. Everything was good. A bit windy, too many boats. I would expect more details during the sightseeing

Dont move!
Nathanel_S, Aug 2023
If you get a bad place in the boat….you are screwed. Tried to move forward twice and rude crewmembers made me go back twice to the end of the ship due to stability issues. Had to smell the engine smog the whole ride. View is beautiful and boat ok, but not being able to move freely is exasperating.

Highly recommend. Ask for Joseph as a guide.
Julia_b, Aug 2023
Joseph was an amazing guide. Very knowledgeable and spoke perfect English. The snacks served were delicious too. Loved how the boat stopped for a while at sunset near the famous lighthouse. Great tour and perfect option to beat the I sane Istanbul heat.

Nice Bosporus Tour
Maja_F, Jul 2023
Friendly, well organized, clean and neat boat. Fine refreshments. Musik was adequate and cool. Boat was described as „luxury cruise“ which was somewhat overstated.

Great views from an old boat.....
Kellyann_C, Jun 2023
😀 -The Bosphorus Straits are stunning & the views from the water are beautiful. - The staff were friendly & attentive. 🙁 -The old boat is far from luxurious & not the boat shown in online photo. -No speaker outside at the front of the boat so we could not hear guide. -On board toilet not very clean -Cash only payment for drinks
Response from Host, Jun 2023
Hello Dear Kelly Thank you very much for your review. We would like to Respond to your conserns. -The picture belond last year. and we have changed to boat. - it is a illegal to have speakers on the front deck but our leaders come to front side and explain everything twice. -Our crew check to toilet everytime after use. -We have already informed all of the our guest about cash payment.
Definitely recommend

A cool way to ride along Bosphorus in the evening.
anton, Aug 2022
A good tour, with snacks and fruit, and decent narration. A cool way to ride along Bosphorus in the evening. Note: Viator description is WRONG as you meet on the pier and NOT "next to tram station" as the description says.

Good not great
Shweta_S, Aug 2022
The yacht tour sounds more fancy than it is - quite a basic boat ride. It was nice to have snacks and lemonade served as we cruised up and down the Bosphorous.
