The cruise was lovely. It was well organized from the start. We followed the instructions provided by the company and they arrived on time. We loved the fact that it was a small yacht and not overfilled. The views were wonderful and the staff very professional and attentive. They gave us drinks and snacks throughout the cruise which lasted 2 hours. The commentary was in English and very clear. We were very lucky with the weather. We would definitely use this company again. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

A boat with comfortable seats and plenty of space for small groups. A fun and hearty aperitif. A very friendly guide who speaks clear, easy-to-understand English. No audio guide. I recommend this tour on a clear night to enjoy the stunning colors of the Bosphorus as darkness falls. The icing on the cake: the dolphins put on a little surprise show for us!

The cruise was excellent! Nur and the other guy (I can't remember his name) were very attentive the whole time. The snacks were more than enough—cookies, baklava, nuts, fruit, and juice. The sunset was incredible, and the guide's explanations were great! Highly recommended

All in one package, yacht in a great shape, guys were really nice, excellent service. Lenght of the trip was ideal for us, not too long, not too short. Tea, coffee, nuts, a small savoury pastry - all good, I have only missed a piece of baklava :-)

Great semi private cruise experience - the staff was amazing. So well narated, beautifully curated snacks (assorted nuts, desserts, fruit plate, lemonade and turkish tea). The cruise was over 2 hrs long and i highly recommend this over the large cruise ferries.
