Great tour

Excellent way to get to know the most representative sites of the Bosphorus. Guided tour with different audio in various languages. I recommend the 7 PM tour because you get to see the sunset.

Highly recommended

I took the tour as one of the last things to do in Istanbul, and I do not regret it. It helped us see parts that we did not have time to explore. Additionally, they provided us with coffee and tea. I highly recommend it.
