This cruise was fantastic because our tour guide was so good in explaining then history behind the Bosphorous Strait. On top of it, we caught the best sunset we have ever seen! Sunset with Bosphorous Bridge in front of us and without any commercial ships in view!

We purchased a tour for a boat with a maximum of 10 people and was supposed to be 2 hours. We were quite upset when we were put on a boat with 40 with a tour for only 1 hour. However the guide tried hard to make us comfortable (after all is wasn't his fault) and we had a nice spot with a good view. They gave us fresh fruit and tea and the captain had a pug onboard that he let me love on for a bit. It was a nice little ride. Overall we would have preferred what we booked but that's not the fault of the guides or captain working. Either the booking information needs to be updated or better communication needs to be had with on ground staff about booking specifics.

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.

Your experience

When in Istanbul, don’t miss out on the iconic yacht cruise, an experience you’ll find less satisfying in other parts of the world. Hop aboard an elegant yacht and enjoy the magnificent sights of palaces, minarets, mosques, and mansions floating past you. Breathe in the legacy of ancient Constantinople, Byzantium, and the Ottoman Empire from aboard the calm waters of the Bosphorus Strait.

Wait for dusk to set in as you snack on Turkish delights and sip on refreshing drinks. Take in the unique views of the stunning skyline of Istanbul as you watch the sunset over the Strait. Watch the colors explode in the sky as you capture one-of-a-kind photographs of you and your loved ones.
