EVERYTHING, they were very punctual, as offered, the boat in excellent condition, the kindness of the crew and especially the guide, although it was not in Spanish, the guide knew Spanish and that helped us a lot. We were delighted with the tour.

The cruise was out late, and then we had to come back after departure to pick up late guestes. Totally unprofessional and desrespectful to the costumers who were on time. The pilot was extremely unpolite and spend the most time of the trip on his cellphone, super dangerous. Also, the boat was very slow, super unecessary since the Bosphorus has so much attractions to show, and they didn't go to the asian part. Not a good experience, not worth the money and I wouldn't recommend to others

We booked the tour for 4pm. At 4pm a guide from a different company told us, the tour will start at 6pm. There was no information about the postponement or delay. Since we were only 6 there, I assume it simply wasn't financially attractive for them to send the boat. So they joined us with the group at 6 - total of 16 people which is over the "private yacht for up to 10 people" stated in the tour description. The guide has only very basic English. The cruise (Bosphorus itself) was trest, alebo the refreshments.

This cruise was fantastic because our tour guide was so good in explaining then history behind the Bosphorous Strait. On top of it, we caught the best sunset we have ever seen! Sunset with Bosphorous Bridge in front of us and without any commercial ships in view!

We purchased a tour for a boat with a maximum of 10 people and was supposed to be 2 hours. We were quite upset when we were put on a boat with 40 with a tour for only 1 hour. However the guide tried hard to make us comfortable (after all is wasn't his fault) and we had a nice spot with a good view. They gave us fresh fruit and tea and the captain had a pug onboard that he let me love on for a bit. It was a nice little ride. Overall we would have preferred what we booked but that's not the fault of the guides or captain working. Either the booking information needs to be updated or better communication needs to be had with on ground staff about booking specifics.

The scenic views and information was terrific, especially seeing the Black Sea. I especially enjoyed taking a dip in a cove near the sea! What made the excursion great was Furkan, the host. He reassured all patrons and was very kind and helpful.

Private boat cruise was a great idea for the family activity - we really enjoyed our time on the water, beatiful views of the Bosphorus and the boat crew were wonderful. Two downsides: 1) we didnt know the boarding point until the booking - there is no option to see it until you book and pay. In our case it turned out almost an hour away by taxi. If i has known that in advance i might have chosen a different provider. 2) the booking confirmation did not contain contact of the boat captain and it took us 10 minutes of anxious searching and talking to other boat owners to find our boat. It all worked out fine in the end but it would be great to avoid this in the future

The guys who managed the private cruise were just awesome. They answered all the questions from the get go and took care of snacks/soft drinks/tea/coffee from the very beginning. Loved their warmth towards us. Highly recommended!

The tour to the Hagia Sofia and Blue mosque and Bascillica Cistern were great. The Bosphorus ferry was a total mess.very disorganized and way too much walking. Why can't you limit the size of the group. The tour guide couldnt control such a large group. No one could hear him. No one knew they had to go to the online desk to get a cruise ticket. People were just running wildly to try to keep up with him. Very unruly. That's the reason we gave an average rating.

Kürzlich haben wir eine Tour zu einigen der berühmtesten Sehenswürdigkeiten Istanbuls unternommen, darunter die Hagia Sophia, die Blaue Moschee und die Cisterna Basilica. Leider war das Erlebnis insgesamt sehr enttäuschend, da weder Audioguides noch Kopfhörer zur Verfügung gestellt wurden. Wir waren eine große Gruppe und es war fast unmöglich, den Führer zu hören oder die Erklärungen zu verstehen. Die geschichtlichen und kulturellen Hintergründe, die diese Orte so faszinierend machen, gingen uns so völlig verloren. Ohne Audioguide oder Kopfhörer waren wir gezwungen, uns durch die Menge zu drängen und die Informationen selbst zu suchen, was den Besuch sehr stressig und unbefriedigend machte. Für ein so wichtiges touristisches Ziel hätten wir einen viel besseren Service erwartet. Insgesamt war die Tour absolut schlecht organisiert und wir würden sie unter den gegebenen Umständen nicht weiterempfehlen. Eine Investition in Audioguides und Kopfhörer wäre dringend erforderlich, um den Besuchern ein zufriedenstellendes und informatives Erlebnis zu bieten.

The 3 guides for Topkapi, Hagia Sophia and Sultanahmet Mosque, Sunken Palace were excellent: there was helpful information and comments that are not in the guidebook and they were very helpful!
