Fantastic small group cruise on the Bosphorus. - We were picked up at our hotel and were greeted at the port. The yacht was beautiful and all the crew were friendly and professional. Once under way, the crew served water and nuts followed by Turkish tea and cheese on Turkish bread. The commentary during the cruise was very informative and interactive. We stopped on the Asian side of the Bosphorus at the turn around point and disembarked for a short walk to a small shop for Turkish yogurt and honey, which was fantastic. Highly recommend.
