F.
A nice and different way to see Istanbul. A very nice boat and comfy seats. Has hot and cold drinks and some pastries, sweets, crisps for snacks. I enjoyed the tour but maybe a shorter trip was more suited for me...others may enjoy the two hours , plus trip. Well worth just relaxing for a few hours.

What an amazing day! I took amazing photos of Istanbul. Being on the boat was cooling with the wind on a very hot day. The staff was very friendly and I learned some historical fact about this fantastic city! Thank you for taking me on this beautiful bosphorous journey!

Loved the Bosphorous tour! It's my 2nd time on this tour, it's a 2 hour tour with a lot to see, all the main buildings and places and main bridges connecting from Europe to Asia. Had a lovely tea and snacks on the boat too and Daria was really lovely and helpful and very kind and she guided us throughout the tour.

Great tour, mini cruise, 2 hrs on the Bosporus Straits. Pleasant staff. Complementary Tea or Coffee. Other refreshments available. Remarkable way to see the city. €10 (11/03/2025). Free WiFi, and informative commentary. Oh, and yes, clean toilets with Toilet paper and Soap. You can tell that I'm British......
