Bosphorus boat tours & sightseeing cruises

Good - too bad the comments didn't sync with the GPS.

There was no link to download audiouide in any correspondence receoived, the tour was late and there was no guide at all, just a site seing. The sightseen through was very good. Would be great to mention that there is no AC on board the ship.

Thank you for this very nice old cruise, good experience recommending to everyone preferably to buy the ticket before starting from Mord it's cheaper.

An hour and a half cruise at sunset and where you go along the Bosphorus. I loved it because it is not long and some explanations were heard over the loudspeaker in English.

It was a great cruise and the audio guide was great.

Top excursion Perfect timing and breathtaking views

You saw many landmarks in just 1,5 hours, perfect weather, easy to find, good price for the 1,5 hours experience!

No audioguide was offered.

It was nice and very pretty but the boat was ho-hum. Bench seating was fine but no open standing area was missed.

The boat cruise was the perfect length of time. It was raining but it was still good!

Good to see these places like Bebek and the Asian side of the city

We really enjoyed our trip thanks to headout for making it easier

Views and colours around the water.

Access to the ride was difficult to find

Not that exciting or interesting, but still good. Wouldn't recommend as a must.

Very nice boat tour on the Bosphorus! We did a Bosphorus tour during the day and loved it. The boat was clean and comfortable, the crew very friendly. The view of the palaces, bridges and the city from the water was impressive. Everything was well organized and relaxed - a great way to experience Istanbul from a new perspective. Highly recommended!

It was a great ending to our tour in Istanbul. A relaxing and information filled trip up and down the Bosphorus. The crew was great and the guide was entertaining and full of facts. It was easy to book and easy to find at the end of the line in the tram.

small size of the boat and detail paid to experience including food and music. loved the side adventure to ice cream on the east side.

Great hospitality and knowledgable guide. Lovely stop off for ice-cream too!

Boat was very comfortable and guide was informative with a good sense of humour

We were especially impressed by the cleanliness of the boat, quality of the service and entertaining guide.

Our narrator was fantastic and the snacks were great!

Tour was simply awesome! Guide is very knowledgeable and the yacht is fantastic and very comfortable ❤️

Beautiful views and very attentive crew.

Very good. The tour guide was great and the service was great too

Well managed, awesome knowledgeable guide and a good decent sized yatch. No complaints whatsoever 👍🏽😀

It was a great cruise. The only reason I didn't rate it awesome was because the weather was very cold. We got to see lots of beautiful buildings at the rivers edge. Our guide was very knowledgeable and provided a lot of interesting information. We received nice snacks, tea and coffee and all in all it was a great outing.

Friendly staff. We had a guide who spoke very good English and knew his way around.

It was perfect! Highly recommend them. Made everything magical. Thank you so much.

Audio guide during the cruise was too good , don't miss out the yogurt with honey at the Asian village

Great, not expensive, 2,5 hours! Nice trip, great stuff.

Trip was good but there was a delay in emailing ticket to me.boat trip was 1.40 and ticket was only emailed at 2.20.it was the efficiency of the staff at the jetty which helped us at boarding

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. Our guide was informative and friendly, making everything smooth. The lunch at the island restaurant was delicious, and I appreciated the hassle-free hotel pickup and drop-off.

transportation on time and everything as described

The place indicated in the information sheet is not the same as the place indicated on the ticket afterwards. As a result, I only managed to take the outward boat and the return boat.

The outward journey went very well, the boat was fast and new, it was magnificent, but the return journey was very old, the seats were faulty and the springs were coming out, and it was very long.

The meeting place was not clearly described so we almost arrived late. We did not receive the audio guide.

Great experience we loved the palace and boat ride

I was unable to get to the activity because the information provided was incorrect. I spent in 3 ubers and none of them was the address provided. Also, I tried to call but no one answered.

I would like to leave a review about the boat trip. The point with the geolocation that we received by email was wrong. We had to run to be on time, and take a tram 1 more stop. Please fix this, if a person is in Istanbul for the first time, he will not find the correct location. The location in the app was also wrong. This spoiled our impressions of the time spent.

Very suggestive. It's like to be in a fable 😍

It's just something else from the others tourist attractions!

10-Nov was MK Ataturk's memorial day. A major event in Turkey. The agency knew in advance of this important national event, which takes place every year at Dolmabahçe Palace, and yet no information was given when I bought my ticket. On the day of my arrival at Dolmabahçe, I was informed that access would be very limited: only the room where MK Ataturk died. I think it's a rip-off to make me pay almost 100EURO only to have to wait almost 2 hours to get in (given the long queue) and to limit access to just one room. The agency should have informed me before or when I bought the ticket that there would be a major national event, and then it was up to me to decide whether or not to buy the ticket. Leaving me faced with a fait accompli on D-day is a swindle and dishonesty on the part of the agency that sold me the tickets. A very bad experience with this agency!

Very disappointed that guide never showed up. We would have started earlier, if we knew we were on our own! Also tough finding cruise start part of ticket. Will stick with Viator and Get Your Guide! $ should be refunded as your was nothing as promised!

It was really easy to get our skip the line tickets. The palace and grounds were amazing!

It was easy to sign up and they made sure you knew where to go. It was a beautiful place as well.

It was good. But instructions were a bit misunderstanding. It was written to meed our guide at one spot. And when we go to this place there is noone. Instead they send us the qr codes to enter by ourselves. And they dont give instructions to just enter. So we waited at this spot. Good that at least they responded quickly enough when I contacted them by whatsapp. Although They did not respond to The emergency telephone number that was given at the ticket. So a bit messy. We still had a great time. So thank you!

There was no link to download audiouide in any correspondence receoived, the tour was late and there was no guide at all, just a site seing. The sightseen through was very good. Would be great to mention that there is no AC on board the ship.

Lots of history and excellent view of the city

The audio guide who provided descriptions and anecdotes

Access to the ride was difficult to find

Kind staff, nice tour, but on the way back after disembarking the boat, the transfer to the hotel was very bad because we had to walk a long way to the vans that were parked in front of a leather clothing store/factory and we still had to wait a long time to get out because they wanted to sell us jackets, coats and the like...

What a scam!! I don't even know where to start. Don't waste your money and book this tour! The boat was absolutely packed and even though there were children and elderly on board, the staff decided to turn it into a party boat. It was a 10 am start and two guys, who wanted to try DJing blasted out music so loud, that you were not able to have a conversation with the person next to you. The first two islands were a waste of time, as there was nothing really to do or see. Just the last island was worth a trip, but get on the ferry yourself and spend a nice couple of hours there. The food was generalised, even though I'm a vegetarian and do have health related dietary requirements, it was rice, topped with some chicken, pasta and a salad. Everyone just got the same, no questions asked. As well as every table just got two bottles of Coca Cola, even though half of our table didn't drink that. For everything else you might want on the trip, you have to pay. What a waste of money and time!

First, it's a scam, don't buy any your guide to the princesses and do it yourself, way cheaper and better. Below details: * pic and story tells you about princesses and an island with horses and no cars. This has been banned for tourist to visit. * food quality is very low * no soft drinks offered, you need to buy * you don't hear anything from the guide because they use a low quality speaker for a big boat, and you don't hear anything at all.

The "English-speaking" tour guide was not understandable. The audio was broken or blown, and there were constant technical problems. The food was not good. The desert was stale. I didn't like paying $4.39 USD for a can of Coke. The hustle at the end was disconcerting: making a shipload of patrons walk briskly across a busy highway and then weaving up a narrow car-filled sidewalk for several hundred meters in high heat and humidity. While okay to me as a young person, it was unsafe for older people. And all that to hustle us into "buying" leather goods, etc? Hurrying people away from their tables when they finished lunch. They changed our tablecloth while a table of six was still seated. I get there is a language barrier, but given that this is the tourism industry--couldn't someone have communicated? Instead, I would have paid more for quality; this was inferior throughout. Walking on the islands was enjoyable. The boat ride itself is quite lovely. The photographer was fun.

Very good experience. The tour guides and other staff were very helpful, kind, hospitable and informative that made the trip more interesting. Would highly recommend.

The overall experience of being able to visit the islands was good. But the food was not good at all.... No one could understand what the English speaking guide was talking

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

We were charged Tl 1800 for drinks by the guide This was was included in the original price! How do i get this paid back to me?

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!
