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.

Unbeatable value for money. A must experience

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.

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.

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

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 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.

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.

Lots of history and excellent view of the city

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

The audio guide who provided descriptions and anecdotes

Access to the ride was difficult to find

We stood as agreed 40 min at the agreed pick-up point (hotel) and were not picked up, we were promised an accommodating refund, of which we have unfortunately heard nothing more until now! What a pity!!!!!

The tour guide unfortunately spoke very bad English, so we thought the tour to Pierre Lotti Hill would start after we had spent 20 minutes at a viewpoint. However, that was already the hill and after a short visit we drove straight back, that wasn't the annoying thing about it, but that we were then stuck for another hour at a "fashion show", which was the biggest cheek of all, I wonder if anyone really doesn't realize what a ridiculous tourist trap that was. We then walked home from there so as not to waste any more time. The Bosphorus boat trip was great though!

The description of the tour is wrong. First we were picked up at the hotel by a bus that took us approximately 1 hour to the Café Pierri, where we stayed for 15 minutes just for a photo. Then we took the cable car down, very quickly as it is very short. Then we visited a Muslim mausoleum (women have to wear long pants or skirts and cover their hair with a veil). Then you take the bus again to get to the starting point of the boats. The ride along the Bosphorus was beautiful but lasted 30-40 minutes.

Both the Hagia Sophia and the sunken palace were beautiful! It is very worthwhile. And especially for the Hagia Sophia, it's worth buying tickets online in advance to avoid the queue at the ticket office. It's also worth it for the Basilica Cistern, as there are 2 different queues here and the one for the e-tickets was quicker in our case.

The architecture of the basilica cistern is amazingly beautiful, very well lit and with a well organized traffic. It has generously met my expectations. But the number of visitors per shift or hour should be reduced.

Tickets were easy to book, great instructions and saved a lot if time by not queuing. In terms of the sites they were really good to see and understand the history behind it. Great addition to our Istanbul trip.

Easy to book. Very clear instructions from the guide in Topkapi, which helps not to miss the Harem and the incredible collections. Jump the queue ticket saved us waiting hours to enter. The experience in Topkapi, Hagia Sophia and Balisica were totally different and absolutely awesome.

We made a combined booking with Fastlane. For Hagia Sophia and Cisterna Basilica, the tickets we sent were immediately our valid tickets. Worked perfectly. Both sights were very beautiful and interesting. At Hagia Sophia, as a non-Muslim you "only" get to the first level and can look down into the whole mosque. Also very impressive, but not really explained beforehand. At the Topkapi Palace there was only one reservation in the mailing, which is easy to overlook, and we only noticed in front of gate 2 (where you need real tickets). We then had to go back to an agency outside Gate 1 so that we could finally get in with a tour lady. It worked but with a certain loss of time. The palace itself was huge and very beautiful. Be sure to book a ticket with harem access (as we had), this part is the highlight of the palace. All in all, a great day with lots of wonderful impressions.

Made such a difference avoiding the long queues and getting there relatively early was the wa right call

Simplicity in the directions provided, all ok

It was a good idea to book without queues, since there were a lot of tourists.

There was no line to enter the cistern as we arrived early which made our experience easy and seamless.

Fantastic location, so different from everything else in Istanbul. Skip the line tickets are excellent, we got straight in. Make sure you have downloaded the tickets before arriving so you have a code for them to scan.

Skip the line worked. The lighting at Hagia Sophia was very distracting to take photos. Basilica Cistern was great. Audio guide did not work at Hagia Sophia (was it free for everyone?) so I did not even bother trying at the Cistern.

We were greeted in a separate queue with entry without delay. We were helped very clearly by the staff to download and use the audio in our language. We loved the experience

In none of the three places we had to wait in line, we were able to enter directly without any problems. In the Topkapi Palace, once inside, there were many people and there were queues for the treasure and the relics.

The queue was cut at the Citerne and the reception staff were very helpful, sharing the connection with us so that we could collect our tickets. But it was more complicated at Topkapi, where you had to collect your ticket from a hut outside the site, which wasn't properly explained. And there's no real queue cutter.

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.

We went yesterday around 4pm to the Cistern. The entrance line was very long and we were able to enter in minutes through the online tickets entrance. We downloaded the audio guide prior entrance in our phones and were able to follow all detailed explanations throughout the visit.

Beautiful place worth seeing, we could not connect them to audioguide because once you enter there is no coverage, no one warns you about it.

We had misread the instructions and entered the palace. We were directed to the ticket office and the clerk told us where to find our guide. Once there, he accompanied us to join a group who were already going through the entrances, so we didn't have to wait 30 minutes for the next departure (very nice of him). The fast pass allowed us to do all 3 activities without a hitch, although you need to allow quite a bit of time for the palace and less for the cistern and Saint Sophia. It was really great

Well, the security queue was fast. We had a problem with downloading one of the ticket QR code PDFs but the Hagia Sofia staff resolved it quickly.

Everything was well organized, but the guidebook is very poorly done and the queue for the treasure is unacceptable for wire-cut tickets.

For me these venues are a musr see whrb you are in Istanbul, but as for mostly every over crowded tourist spot in the world I don't really enjoy them.

Everything went very well. We didn't have to wait in line and they gave us the correct information about the guided tour in the chosen language. The place is beautiful and safe. It is definitely worth visiting.

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 really nice good price experience. Will recommend your services to my friends and wil use your services further. Good luck!

Beautiful place but I thought the price was not worth. Based on other Attractions I have seen, around €20 would have been ok. Setting up the Audio Guide on my personal device was a bit cumbersome as there is no guidance at the entrance on how to do it. A Staff Member was kind enough to set up the Wifi and Download the Audio Guide. I suggest a more visible instruction for that as well as a better numerical sequence for the route.
