Bosphorus Tour - We had a wonderful boat tour with our friends. The exquisite view of the Bosphorus cannot be described but experienced. The interest is amazing. We were very pleased. I strongly recommend it to everyone.

By bosporus curuise - We had a nice day on the Bosphorus, the guide gave a really good explanation. It is ideal for families, children and couples. Do not return without leaving Istanbul for this tour. The sunset on the Bosphorus was excellent. The attention and care of the staff was very good. I recommend it to everyone.

Amazing views and service without a crowded boat! - Really great experience! Sena our guide was super nice and helpful. Enjoying amazing views from both sides of Istanbul without having to wait in line or struggle to find a good spot on a crowded boat was sooo worth it! I highly recommend!

Relaxing Sunset Cruise - Relaxing cruise along the Bosphorus. Tasty little snacks was a bonus. Passionate guide showing us points of interest. Beautiful sunset.

Charmless crew on a shabby boat - Grouchy guide, dirty uncomfortable boat, no protection from the wind, overall a dismal experience. But the views were awesome and we felt safe. Dropoff is NOT at the pickup point.

So much desinformation in the description of the tour. Wouldn't recommend. - Almost everything in the description of the tour was a lie. Would never recommend. 1) The number of people was definitely more than 40. They barely fit in the boat, the staff had to put additional chairs inbetween coaches. 2) An expert guide? The boat had 2 floors, and tourists were on both of them. This poor man could have never reached to all of them even if he tried. He stood not far from our group, so I could hear dome of his explanations like "This is a mosque", "This is a bridge". Definitely not a guidance you expect. We could have booked a significantly cheaper cruise with an audio guide and get just what we got here. Audio guide would surely do better then this. 3) Wrong return point was on top of the cake. We returned to the same Kabatash pier though it was clearly written in the description that we were to return to Karakoy. At least they were polite enough to pay our tram trip back to the correct pier. Belated departure already doesn't seem a big deal. And they only had 3 blankets for all this amount of tourists... I didn't give this experience a "1" only because they did give us some snakcs and one small cup of beverage.

Disappointed - Unfortunately I was quite disappointed by the experience. The tour is advertised as a tour with an “expert guide” however it seemed the guide knew little about Istanbul, the sights or its history as all that was pointed out was clubs, shops and residential areas. There was a group of at least 14 people and as the guide didn’t have a mic or tannoy, nor was his voice particularly loud, we only heard snippets of the tour as he sat with each group separately. Additionally, the tour was meant to end in Karaköy however we were dropped off at Kabataş Pier and told to make our own way back.

No Guide, No Golden Horn, Not what we expected! - Boat is dirty, they charged us 30 Euros for 1 beer and 2 wines. No English announcing what we see. Did not see the Golden horn, NO GUIDE.

Terrible service, it's a scam - I don't understand how they recommend it on Tripadvisor They do not respect your schedule that you had already confirmed, they advance it to you and do not give you any explanation, already starting the journey they make you return for other tourists and you lose time on the excursion, they also stop for 15 minutes so that some clients get off and pay them cash They leave you in another place without telling you in a far area to be able to. Asking for a taxi, you ask them why and they don't answer in a very dark area, in total they take you off the cruise for 40 minutes.
