Definitely try, amazing experience - What an amazing luxury experience. It was a new yatch that they had purchased a week ago, magnificent. Only 35 people on board so there was alot of room. The staff were friendly, always willing to help and smiling. We boarded the yatch with 10 minutes if sailing we had water, chai and nuts. Soon after a small snack plate of cheese bagel and fruit. Denis our guide was impressive with facts and options. My family of 4 sat on the top deck but soon realised we could sit on the cushions at the front of the boat, just breath taking views, breeze and fabulous weather. An hour into our journey we stopped at Kanlica a small town where we rested for 30 mins, we bought ice creams and relaxed before boarding again. I can not express how wonderful this experience is, hats off to the team. Family of 4 paid £120 for 2.5 hours, definitely worth it.

Lovely way to see Istanbul - This was a definite highlight of our time in Istanbul! You get a really different perspective from the water, and this particular cruise was very well done. The snacks are very light, but nice. It’s a lovely yacht and was not too crowded at all. There was plenty of room. Great narration. As for the logistics, I used google maps with the name of where we were meeting, and it turns out I was not specific enough, so we ended up at the wrong pier. I called the company on WhatsApp and they were very helpful in explaining to our cab driver where to take us. It was a bit of a mad dash, but the company and employees were really helpful and we were so glad that we didn’t miss it! Give yourself plenty of time and make sure to use the location information they send through WhatsApp to get there. We saw other bigger cruises out while we were on the water, some of which just had dozens of plastic lawn chairs on a flat deck. I was glad we went for a more luxurious option! We felt really happy with our choice.

Great way to see the sites and beat the heat - This cruise was an excellent respite from the heat of Istanbul in high summer. Serdar provided informative and amusing commentary on the various sites along the route, and the team kept us well supplied with refreshments throughout the afternoon. We also liked the coziness of a yacht. Glad we chose this tour among the many options on offer!

Great sights, boat, and guide! - This was a wonderful way to finish a great trip to Istanbul! The boat was comfortable and very clean, and the service was impeccable. Best of all, the guide explained everything we were seeing (a lot), and we learned a great deal of this quite historic area. We even stopped for amazing yogurt on the Asia side! Highly recommended, even if you have a few hours.

Ok… - Nice little trip on the water, just thought 7.25 euros was a lot to charge for a can of effes. Served food and fruit which was a nice touch. Just felt the drinks were over priced
