The kindness of the team outside the ferry who explained, well and clearly, how to use the ticket. What I didn't like: poor cleaning of the ferry, disgusting bathroom not clean and nauseating in its stench for the visitors on the ship, inability and difficulty in using the audio guide (I paid more and I couldn't understand how to use it and enjoy it and without any communication on how to do it). Departure time not respected compared to what was seen on the booking site (it was written at 13:00 while the tour started at 14:00).

One of the highlights of our trip in Istanbul. You get to witness the true beauty of the city from the best viewpoint and learn so much about Turkish history on the way. P.S. I forgot his name but if your guide is a 6 foot 5 turkish man with a giant beard then you're in for a great time, most entertaining guide ever.

The boat ride was such a peaceful start to the day, with amazing views of Istanbul from the sea. We visited both Heybeliada and Buyukada each had its own charm.

The QR code hadn't arrived even the day before, so I called to confirm and was told that it would be sent within 20 minutes, and we were able to successfully obtain the QR code. We arrived at Dolmabahce Palace at 9am, and it wasn't very crowded yet, so we didn't really benefit from the skip-the-line ticket (the security gate wasn't very crowded at that time, but there were huge people lining up around 12:30 when we were leaving). The Bosphorus cruise was properly announced in advance, so we were able to easily find the boarding point, and we were fortunatelely able to board it in just before the cruise departed, so we were able to enjoy the cruise without waiting.

I did not "love" the experience. It was adequate. A small amount of content was strung out to fill the time, and then the guide actually kept everyone in the mosque until they had given good feedback on his tour! I did not get the feeling this guide was an expert on the mosque, and would advise anyone to seek out one of the other guides who were there with groups who seemed far more knowledgeable.

It was amazing experience. Our guider spoke very clear English. We learned lots things. Due to lots of tourists, we had to line up and wait for about 30 mins even though at beginning of May, the rush season has not started.

If you use cafe for meeting point it should exist And make it clear that the boat trip is at another meeting point your guide didn't seem to care as he said it's not my problem it was difficult to find meeting point for boat trip from mosque and your guides was still showing us around mosque but didn't seem to care if you missed time

It was a guide who spoke good English. The guided tour lasted only 50 minutes in total and was only inside the mosque. We had no more explanation in the courtyard of the mosque. The boat tour was super but also of this the guide had no knowledge and we had to pick it up somewhere else. The mosque was nice but a lot of history and a little less about how things work now.

The whole experience has been appalling. The tour guide did not turn up ( with 10 people waiting) , it is impossible to get any response from the support team and I have no means of getting a refund. Terrible company

The tour guide did not show up. We arrived half an hour in advance and waited for over an hour. Contact with the help desk was also poor. By phone an automaton who gave as a solution: go to meeting point (where we were already waiting for an hour). We asked for a refund. We were supposed to be helped within a few hours, but that didn't happen either!!! This also applied to 8 other people waiting there

We were told to go to the Chimney Bistro at 3:15pm to meet a guide to collect tickets for the river cruise but no one showed. We WhatsApp and emailed yourself to inform you of our complaint and request for a refund but have still not received a reply. We are taking our complaint to Amex for a refund.

we didnt even get inside and the guide said oh well we can just wait 2 hours for secutirty gate or come later did not work for us . also so no refund what a disaster
Aubert
May 2025Verified booking
The experience was a disaster!!! We could never find our guide even though we were at the meeting point and at the time indicated. Guides from other companies tried to help us contact assistance, but to no avail. So we never received the tickets for the cruise that followed the Mosque visit, since the guide was supposed to give them to us. It's a real scandal: we lost 50 euros worth of tickets + travel expenses!!!! To anyone reading this, run away from this scam!!!!

Best time of the day

- Evening: At sunset, the city is bathed in golden light, with its landmarks silhouetted against the darkening sky, forming a breathtaking panorama.

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!

Easy booking. The best is the ratio quality/price. The audio guide is difficult to use, but the astonishing views of the bridges, mosques and palaces are really worthy. The biat is safe and fast. You can choose between the indoor option with coffe-shop (the milk with cinnamon is abolutely recommendable) and the top terrace (a bit cold in winter but fantastic to take photos. The trip is exactly as described. Don't miss it.

Beautiful cruise that skirts first the European side and then the Asian side. Great way to give you a sense of the vastness and diversity of the city. Audio guide helpful but got stuck often, too bad because very useful.
Recommended at sunset!
Definitely recommended! Done in December, you have to cover up.

The trip itself was good. However, experience around the meeting point didn't feel professional. A random guy just came up and said he was our guide. Felt very suspicious but he took us to the actual guide who was running late. Just made everyone feel a little unsure.
