Great experience. A taxi transfer to and from the hotel is a must. It gets very busy at the taxi stands upon return, so having a reserved taxi (minibus) is definitely very convenient. The food (VIP menu) on the yacht was wonderfully delicious. A very generous appetizer, a delectable main course (fish or meat), and fruit for dessert. The service deserves a compliment: attentive and friendly. After the appetizer, the yacht sailed out of the small harbor for a quite impressive cruise on the Bosphorus. The bridges were beautifully lit, as were the historic buildings along the waterfront. On the yacht, there was an opportunity to go outside on the deck to take in the views. We thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful, sometimes romantic views. Well worth the money. Highly recommended; definitely do it!

A wonderful experience, very romantic for couples in VIP. I went with a buddy and it was really great. I liked some parts of the show more than others, but there was something for everyone. I took the hotel pickup and it was spotless, very well organized. A well-oiled machine, certainly very touristy, but the monuments at night are incredible.

Lovely way to get a different, more peaceful view of a very busy city. Food is decent and quickly served. The all-in (with alcohol) is good value. The entertainment can be a bit mixed (I have done this cruise a few times), but always adds to the overall enjoyment of the evening.

Taking a Bosphorus cruise was definitely a highlight of our trip to Istanbul! The views of the skyline—from Dolmabahçe Palace to the Maiden’s Tower—were stunning, and seeing Europe and Asia from the water is an incredible experience. The boat was clean, comfortable, and gave us plenty of fantastic photo opportunities.

Everything went smoothly. The departure point was easy to find, we were welcomed with a smile, the shows were entertaining, and we even got up to dance😂 . The view of the Bosphorus from the boat was definitely the highlight. Really happy with the experience!
