The tower has become one of Istanbul's most iconic symbols and has a rich history that dates back to ancient times. There are several legends associated with the Maiden's Tower, one of the most popular being the story of a princess who was locked away in the tower to protect her from a prophesied snake bite. Despite the precautions, she was eventually bitten by a snake hidden in a fruit basket and died, which gave the tower its name. Throughout its history, the Maiden's Tower has served various purposes, including a lighthouse, a quarantine station, and a radar station. Today, it is primarily a tourist attraction, with a restaurant and café that offer panoramic views of Istanbul and the Bosphorus.

Emre was the best, the yacht was super beautiful and the experience was amazing!!
Thank you very much for your wonderful review. We are delighted to hear that you had an amazing experience, enjoyed the beautiful yacht, and appreciated Emre’s excellent service. Your kind words mean a lot to us.
The Guide was very helpful and knowledgeable. It was beautiful scenery and to see both sides from boat was really great. I think it was overpriced. There was very little food - small bowl of nuts, a couple slices of fruit, and a small piece of bread with two tiny pieces of cheese. Also, stop on the Asian side was not the most picturesque neighborhood. Very little to see. Overall, I’m glad I went, but I would say it was just a very average tour.
Thank you for your honest feedback. We are glad you enjoyed the guide and Bosphorus scenery, but we are sorry the snacks, value, and Asian-side stop did not fully meet your expectations. Your comments are important to us and will help us improve the overall guest experience.

This was a great tour with attentive, kind staff and am excellent guide. The snacks and drinks were very good. I felt very pampered; it was a chilly day and the staff members brought us blankets, and when I decided to move to the upper deck, one of the staff immediately came over to take my snacks etc up for me. This is a good way to see a lot of the Bosphorus. Really good value.
