Cruising the channel with a class act - Our concierge recommended this cruise and it did not disappoint! From start to finish, Velena Travel staff were 100% professional and it was a lovely way to spend the day seeing both sides of Istanbul from a calm and peaceful vantage point. We especially enjoyed listening to our guide Sertan. His presentation was informative, and we appreciated his sense of humor and fun facts, too. Highly recommend, especially if you have only a few days in Istanbul (not Constantinople)

Excellent experience - Excellent quality experience. We had pickup and return transportation between the hotel and the boat. The beat itself was very comfortable, luxury medium size yacht. A small complimentary snack was served, along with non-alcoholic drinks (water, Turkish tea and coffee). But the best thing of all was the beautifully English speaking tour guide, a nice and knowledgeable person, giving lots of details in terms of history, architecture, culture e.a. about all landmarks on both European and Asian sides of the Bosphorus. Moreover this very good guide was gladly answering all questions coming from the travellers. Last but not least very nice and careful crew members!

Bel tour - Good service and very nice ship. 2.30 hour Bosphorus tour with short stop. Higher cost but service makes a difference. You can buy tickets online at a lower cost. At the port there is no kiosk but staff who will give you all the information

Amazing way to see the breadth of Istanbul - Lovely! Small enough cruise to feel spacious on the boat. The tour guide was very nice and super informative, providing us with lots of little anecdotes. The cruise gave complementary snacks, tea, and Turkish coffee. Would definitely recommend!
