Fantastic boat ride with my wife.

We had such a great time on this experience. It was me and my wife on a fantastic 2 hour boat tour. We left the European side and immediately went to the Asian side to have our dinner delivered to our boat. We then drank wine, listened to music and enjoyed the sights. We would definitely do it again!

Beautiful tour on the bosphorous

Very nice and large boat, clean, modern and well maintained. Staff was friendly and professional, yet non-intrusive. The tour allowed us to see Istanbul from the bosphorous, enjoy the bustling waterway, as well as a fabulous sunset. Highly recommended!

Except for the sunset without the sun.

To be honest, I thought two hours was a little short at first, but it felt just right to play. The service was good, the boat would sail very close to the shore along both shores, prepared drinks and small snacks, all free, but I didn't know I was going to charge. The sunset didn't see it, and the winter weather was so bad. It's a bit cold on the water in the evening, so bring an extra coat. Overall it's quite good value, much more comfortable than a packed cruise. Waiter's kind of warm. And he chatted to me to work on my English skills, which is to get off the boat and ask for tips. I didn't react.

Unforgettable Bosphorus Cruise – A Must-Do Experience!

This Bosphorus cruise was truly unforgettable and an absolute must-do experience in Istanbul. It’s one of those attractions that is worth every minute, every second — simply magical from start to finish. What made the experience even more special was the agency itself. Everything was extremely well organized, smooth, and professional. I would especially like to highlight Roberto’s outstanding service. He was incredibly attentive, kind, and helpful, and even personally accompanied me all the way to the departure point, which made me feel very well taken care of. Thanks to this agency and Roberto’s exceptional attention, the entire experience was stress-free and truly memorable. I highly recommend this agency and their services to anyone looking for a perfect Bosphorus cruise experience. You won’t regret it!
