This is a highlight for the overall view of Istanbul - Informative, entertaining, and very interesting. The crew has given us top notch service. I highly recommend this tour to get a good perspective of how beautiful Istanbul is from the waterfront and the yacht is small, so it is more a more personable tour

Unique and fun way to see the city - It was so cool to see Istanbul from the water, even on a chilly day! We learned so much about the history of the region while comfortably sipping on beverages and eating snacks. The crew even provided blankets! One member of our party has limited mobility so this was the perfect way for them to experience Istanbul where a walking tour would not have been possible.

Beautiful day on the strait between two continents and shores - Very worthwhile trip in the Bosporus on a gorgeous November day. Guide Serdan narrated the trip with knowledge, interest and humor; easy to hear and understand. He explained the history and information about each of the various palaces, fortresses and Yali (waterside mansions) of note. They served a few snacks and drinks (water, tea, coffee), but nothing resembling a lunch. The boat was very comfortable, offered great views, was large enough but felt intimate. Recommend sitting on the left (port) side for taking photos (or right/starboard for sitting back). Being late November, it was a bit too cold to sit out on deck (some did), but there is space to do so.
