I would highly recommend this exclusion with Headout. It was easy to reach the yacht with the metro from our accommodation and the staff whatsapped us a day before to confirm the meeting point. The staff were super friendly and the service was great onboard. The onboard tour guide had a pleasant and informative presentation. The snacks were delicious and well presented but I would recommend having dinner before or afterwards. It was a nice yacht in good condition, they provided blankets when it was chilly. They have alcoholicc beverages availabile at an additional cost. It was not over crowded which was really nice, overall a first class trip ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
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.
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!
This sunset cruise was magical. The service provided was efficient and the staff were very friendly. I highly recommend this cruise as a program for your Istanbul trip.
Fun cruise at sunset. The cruise allows you to admire the city from a distance. Also very nice that the boat stops for a while to take nice pictures of the sunset.
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.
Very nice boat, pleasant cruise with beautiful view of the whole city of Istanbul and very friendly and efficient staff.
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.
Did our sunset cruise on 9th evening . I highly recommend this tour which has a good yacht, great seating , a good professional guide on board and not to mention the snacks . Evening well spent seeing Istanbul from the Bosphorus
Great hospitality and knowledgable guide. Lovely stop off for ice-cream too!

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!

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.
