Educational and relaxing excursion. - The meeting point was easy to find with clear directions provided, making the start of the trip seamless. The staff were exceptional, contributing greatly to the overall enjoyment of the experience. Our tour guide spoke excellent English and had a great sense of humor—he could probably make a career as a stand-up comedian! As someone with a hearing impairment, I often struggle with accents, but his clarity made it easy for me to follow along. A special mention to one of the stewards, who kindly recommended a fantastic yogurt shop in Kaplica. It was a nice touch that really added to the experience. Overall, this tour offers great value for money, with ample opportunities to see the main attractions and explore the beautiful Bosphorus coast. Highly recommend!

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.
