Just do it,mate 🤗!!!! - Absolutely fantastic experience cruising the Bosphorus! The boat was excellent, the staff were attentive, and the food was top-notch, all at an incredible value. The 5-hour trip flew by thanks to the great tour guide who shared fascinating history and facts about Istanbul. Highly recommend, and I’ll definitely be back again! Boris Australia

Excellent experience - It was beautiful tour. Guide was very knowledgeable. Very good service and a lot of food , drinks and fruits. The only thing we didn't like was stop on Asian side. There was not enough time to go anywhere.

Great trip to the gates of the black sea - A lovely trip, great sights, very informative & easy fuss free connection. The crew were friendly and the included lunch was a good deal better than I was expecting (I had the sea bass)

Highlight of our week long stay in Istanbul - The cruise was a chilled experience- the boat was modern, smart and clean and we were pleasantly surprised to find that we weren’t rammed on with dozens of other sightseers- there were between 20 and 30 of us altogether so we weren’t on top of each other and had lots of space to truly relax. The tour guide (Taner Aggul) was incredibly knowledgeable about the history, geography, geology and politics of the area/country and delivered the information in a lively and good humoured way. The other members of staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was simple but tasty and surprisingly, alcoholic drinks were very well priced compared to those in the tourist area of Istanbul. I would definitely recommend this trip!

Istanbul boat cruise - The boat trip was an incredible experience. To begin the communication concerning meeting point etc was excellent. Our guide was brilliant, humourous, friendly, helpful welcoming and very informative and knowledgeable. The cruise was amazing, the sites incredible, the weather perfect, and the food delicious. We loved the stop in the little village for swimming as well as the other village which had great ice cream. I would definitely recommend this boat cruise when in Istanbul.

Inaccurate Description of Services - This tour is currently misinforming users about hotel drop off service on Viator. We were picked up from our hotel in Sultanahmet as is normal with other Istanbul tours (although there was about a 20 minute wait for other guests on some street corner somewhere). When the tour ended, we expected to also be brought back to our hotel. Instead, one guide noticed we were following her and she said “Oh, are you waiting for me? There is no drop off service offered”. Then pointed to the nearest tram station. We had no metro card or anything with us and had not used the public transit in Istanbul before, again, we were expecting and paid for a drop off (as is mentioned on Viator, see the photo). We were then scammed by a local at the tram station because we probably looked very lost and confused while trying to figure out how to get back to our hotel. Please do not misinform and lie to customers about what the package offers and change the information on the site immediately to clearly state that this is a pick up service only and no drop off is offered. See image attached, it clearly shows you offer drop off service.
