A well planned tour and a bargain - The scenery and history the tour guide was good. The staff were friendly. But you should not charge for soft drinks

Relaxing way to spend 3 hours in Istanbul - A very relaxing way to see Istanbul on a Bosphorous cruise. Good English commentary pointing out places that I wouldn’t have known. Lunch was basic but very nice and I enjoyed the 3 hour cruise. A bonus is that they pick you up from the hotel and drop you very near.

Excellent experience thanks to Maria.. - My experience on this tour was excellent...thanks to the work done by the young Venezuelan named Maria, my experience was unmatched, as she explained in our language everything related to the history and culture of Asia and Europe across the Bosphorus River. She also gave us recommendations of places to buy items and to eat.

Maria the best tourist guide of the bosporus in Istanbul - Maria, the young Venezuelan could explain a lot about the history and architecture of both the European and Asian sides. Also, he recommended some places to eat and took us to the store where we could buy clothes and other original leather items, of the best quality and very good price. We were very happy and satisfied with the service I provided.
