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.

That was nice. The employee on the quay who welcomed us was very friendly and helpful.
Also the service on board. We only have bad memories of the chairs on the outside deck. Very hard and uncomfortable...

The speed in confirming the reservation, the punctuality and easy access and at a very good price. From the boat you have fantastic views and it is a nice experience. I recommend it.

Just wanted a short cruise to kill some afternoon time. Online experience and ticket very easy, directions easy to find and website provided Accurate information. Big boat and cruise lasted a little over 1.5 hr. Soft drinks and ice cream available onboard and all in all a good experience for 12 USD.

C'était vraiment pas mal avec un peu de vent frais, c'est top ! On peut découvrir les paysages et monuments, c'est magnifique !

The cruise allowed us to see Istanbul in a different light, and cruising along the Bosphorus was a wonderful discovery.

Very fair Price, good view and the duration of 1,5 hours is perfect! Would totally recommend!

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).

Love the cruising experience despite the wintry weather. The duration fitted perfectly into our schedule as it's not too long. The service counter's hot sahlep kept us warm and we had enough space on the upper deck to view the beautiful scenery and feed the gulls and then came down to the lower deck to keep warm. The tickets weren't too expensive, making this a memorable experience to recommend to our friends & loved ones. Thank you for the lovely afternoon cruise - will definitely be back someday!

With all the excursion boats, it was almost impossible to find the right one. You should at least have had the name of the boat. Even the inspectors on site didn't know that it was the right boat.
The barcode was only valid for one person, but should have been valid for two.
Due to the lack of an audio guide, you didn't know where you were and whether you should get off.
We still enjoyed the trip!

Boat trip goes up the Bosphprous, so doesn't cover Golden Horn.
The boat ride was good, but the child tickets sold by Head out were incorrectly aged/priced, so we paid more than we should have.

The tour was spectacular but they never gave any information about the audio guide and when you asked the boat workers, the truth is that they did not know anything about the subject and just invited you to listen to what was coming from the loudspeakers.

The tour is useful to see Istanbul from a different point of view, from the sea, understanding the vastness of this beautiful city, seeing Palaces and wonderful structures that we could not have admired so well from land.
It was also very interesting to discover and admire the Asian side. Highly recommended!

Tour was nice, very relaxing. And a good recee trip - for my Bosphorus swim next day!
The Audio Guide worked great (except the girls voice was 'too american' I thought!).
I wasn't able to link the audio to my phone GPS location - but not a problem, because i re-wound/re-played some sections a few times.

Smooth check in at the pier. Very neat and tidy in the boat deck. The cruise route covered most of the attraction points along the coast and clear audio introduction. May be good to add in more historic explanations about those places. Istanbul is such a beautiful and historic city.
