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.

A wonderful excursion! Pick-up at the hotel went well, everything on board was great, good explanations, friendly crew. And you can get a good idea of the enormous size of Istanbul from the water.
