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 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!

The pre-loaded audio was excellent and saved me around £8 extra buying earphones from the kiosk. The description leading up to the tower was great to listen to whilst in the queue. I would have liked the audio to tell me which window to look out of to see each of the historical sites below. Just saying "look north" meant nothing to me. So I had to walk around trying to find them.

When we booked the tickets we could skip the queue, but going at 9 am, we did not have that problem, besides being able to enjoy the views without many people and be there for a while walking around and discovering its history explained in the different levels of the tower.

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.

To send the tickets by internet and in parallel, to send a point of entry scanning, which is not necessary, because you enter directly with the one sent by internet, creates confusion. Having the entries of the tank, in advance, will allow us to save a long time.

Watch-out, you may buy a ticket for a certain time BUT the cruise is run by Dentur Avrasya on Kabataş Pier. So they have their own specific cruise times. I recommend checking ahead, and not just appearing at your booked time. We turned up at 10:45am (ready for 11:00am), and were told the cruise is at 12:45pm - so come back at 12:30pm. The cruise travels north and sticks close to the golden horn bank, and turns around back south at Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge. And then sticks close to the Asian side. Because of this, I recommend getting a seat on the Port side of the boat (left). Note, the boat reverses out of the dock. The seats are just plastic garden seats that you can move around as you require. There is an audio guide. But it partly becomes obsolete when parts of the audio guide blast out of their own speaker in Turkish and then English.

Really enjoyed the 1.5hrs tour cruise. Was able to see the Dolmabahce Palace from the water side and the two Bosphorus Bridges. Highly

Ticketing experience was good. I bought the ticket online, used PayPal to pay for it. One thing that could be done better: send the ticket as pdf to the customer. I had no internet on my phone, so any ticket links don't work when you click on them. Would be good to think of offline customers as well :). Ship wasn't crowded, that was nice and left enough space for wandering around and taking pictures.

Our original tour was cancelled without notice. After contacting customer support we managed to reschedule for the following day. The app for the audio worked ok, the location mode did not work but was able to manually play each section. The cruise itself was pleasant.

We couldn't do the booked trip but we got a substitutional tour. The guide was really nice and answered a lot of questions. The tour was informative and interesting but also really relaxing.

I liked the cruise and the people there so much, but I would like to have a guide to tell us some important information about the places we have visited.
