The speed in confirming the reservation, the punctuality and easy access and at a very good price. From the boat you have fantastic views and it is a nice experience. I recommend it.

Tour was nice, very relaxing. And a good recee trip - for my Bosphorus swim next day! The Audio Guide worked great (except the girls voice was 'too american' I thought!). I wasn't able to link the audio to my phone GPS location - but not a problem, because i re-wound/re-played some sections a few times.

Smooth check in at the pier. Very neat and tidy in the boat deck. The cruise route covered most of the attraction points along the coast and clear audio introduction. May be good to add in more historic explanations about those places. Istanbul is such a beautiful and historic city.

Just wanted a short cruise to kill some afternoon time. Online experience and ticket very easy, directions easy to find and website provided Accurate information. Big boat and cruise lasted a little over 1.5 hr. Soft drinks and ice cream available onboard and all in all a good experience for 12 USD.

These tickets are valid for 3 days from the date of purchase.

Sail away on a 90-minute cruise journey along the beautiful Bosphorus waterway. To start off, board your cruise at Dentur Avrasya Kabataş. A Marine Officer will welcome you at the pier and give you the tour plan along with an overview of what you will be seeing on the cruise. You'll also receive an audio guide, available in 8 languages, to help you gain some insights about the attractions. Hop onboard and get ready to soak in spectacular views of Istanbul. You will see impressive sights such as the domes of Hagia Sophia, the Galata Tower that soars over the entire city, and the legendary Bosphorus Bridge that connects Europe and Asia!
