Everything perfect - Excellent boat and captain, recommended. If you go with kids, you can see that there is a music tablet (ask the captain to leave it to you, so you can choose the music) and a micro.... the kids had a great time.

Wonderful sunset cruise - It a was a beautiful cruise! The operators went out of their way to ensure we had a good time. We got to see both the European and Asian sides of the strait. The Turkish snacks and drinks were good, the narration sparse but welcome, the blankets they gave us were warm. Overall, it was a delightful evening!

A little chaotic - The event itself was fine (though the word "yacht" is a bit of a stretch). However, the location given in the app is about 500 metres off and significantly inland of the actual meeting place. We had to ask around at the port to find someone that had my information. And that person did not seem to be familiar with Viator. In essence, the people selling the tour and the people giving the tour do not seem the same. Once on the boat, we had to wait for a guide that could speak English. But it worked out. The snacks were nice. The tour was 2 hours. We saw some nice stuff. Value: I don't know, really. We saw what we wanted, but this is a do once type of thing. I can't imagine it getting more interesting the second time.

Frustrating start, happy ending… - Information disconnect as to where tour started from - followed directions from provider only to find the meeting point was somewhere else. Communication with provider difficult due to poor command of English. Felt like I was dealing with a bunch of 20-year-olds on an on a yacht one of their parents let them borrow to make money. Eventually arrived at starting point just in time for tour. No apologies or clarification as to the discrepancy. The eventual trip was enjoyable food and drinks were good, and of course, scenery was beautiful. Pack your patience when dealing with this group….

Poor communication can ruin a good evening. - The crew were great. Communication through a third party vendor (Viator) is horrible. When we booked the depart time was 4:30 but It got changed to 6:30 and we were never notified. Actual pick up location was off by over .25 miles from what we were told. We were supposed to return to the same pick up point but instead were dropped off nearly three miles away and had to make our way back.

Misleading advertising - I would have loved to leave a positive review, however I feel scammed. We were told that this would be a luxury yacht tour of the Bosphorous, with a smaller boat that would accommodate a part of 20-25 people. We were told to arrive at the port at 6pm, and when we arrived at the meeting location the guide was 10 minutes late. While those of us who RSVPed waited in the holding area, the TOFA staff were out and about still selling packages to get last minute guests. Not professional. We ended up waiting until 7pm before boarding, and did not set sail for sea until another 10-15 minutes later. The boat itself was not the luxury yacht that was shown to us in the photos, and the final group size was 56 people (60 if you include the staff). What was promised and what was delivered did not match up. I am okay with paying more for better services, but what is not okay is to I will not be recommending this tour to any friends.

No show tours - They did not show up to pick us up or call or anything. Nothing to tell when you don’t get a tour because they no showed
