Vocal experienced guide, snacks, and hotel transfers were amazing. Despite this, enjoyed cruise on a rainy evening and no sunset. Will recommend. Economical cruise!

The boat/yacht was luxurious and very clean, the cruise was beautiful and ended on a high note with the sunset and dolphins right next to the boat. Highly recommended.

One of those rare experiences that stays with you long after it ends. Cruising along the Bosphorus at sunset, with Istanbul slowly lighting up around us, was simply unforgettable. The golden sky reflected on the water, the historic skyline in the distance and the feeling of gliding between two continents created a moment that felt almost cinematic. Everything was peaceful, elegant and beautifully timed. My favorite part was standing outside, feeling the sea breeze and watching the city transform as the sun disappeared behind the horizon. Istanbul is spectacular from the shore, but seeing it from the water gives you an entirely different perspective. A truly special memory and without doubt one of the highlights of my time in Istanbul.

We had an amazing private boat tour on the Bosporus! The views of Istanbul from the water were absolutely stunning, especially around sunset. The boat was clean and comfortable, and the staff was friendly and made the experience feel relaxed. It was a perfect way to see the city’s iconic landmarks from a unique perspective. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a memorable and peaceful experience on the Bosporus!

It's easy to meet up at the meeting point. On the cruise, they offer drinks (lemonade, water, wine), sweet and savory snacks, fruit, and tea. Two friendly guides are available to answer any questions about the tour and let you enjoy the views. They don’t give a verbal explanation beforehand; instead, you listen to an audio guide at key moments. Very enjoyable. Perfect for seeing both the European and Asian sides and ending with the sunset ☀️
