The trip was pleasant and comfortable. I recommend arriving early to secure the best seats. There aren't many snacks and drinks, but there is a bar for purchase. There's a stop on the Asian side, so 20 minutes isn't enough time for a walk or lunch. The crew is friendly and helpful. The guide is very informative, and if you're interested, you can listen to him in English. Overall, I enjoyed the trip.

The experience has been absolutely fantastic! I was there with my family and the boat was the perfect size to enjoy the bosphorus in a more dynamic way. Also the guide has been extremely precious in giving us anecdotes and curiosities not only about the sights along the way but also about istanbul in general. Definitely recommend!

I would highly recommend this exclusion with Headout. It was easy to reach the yacht with the metro from our accommodation and the staff whatsapped us a day before to confirm the meeting point. The staff were super friendly and the service was great onboard. The onboard tour guide had a pleasant and informative presentation. The snacks were delicious and well presented but I would recommend having dinner before or afterwards. It was a nice yacht in good condition, they provided blankets when it was chilly. They have alcoholicc beverages availabile at an additional cost. It was not over crowded which was really nice, overall a first class trip ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Great experience! Experienced crew that shared interesting facts about the sites we saw. Saw many places that we would have never seen staying on land so this cruise was a definite plus for our vacation.
