Customer Reviews
Urooj
Our Bosphorus tour was absolutely amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment the dervish performance, the variety of songs from different countries, all sung by a great artist, the delicious food, and of course the stunning views. It was truly a wonderful experience. However, I want to share something important for people who are planning to go. There was a photographer taking pictures of everyone, and they didn't mention whether the photos were free or paid. At the end of the tour, they handed us a photo book filled with our pictures and asked for 200 to 300 lira. So please be careful if you don't want to spend this kind of money, make sure you tell them from the beginning not to take your pictures. My husband and I told them that they should inform guests beforehand if there is a charge, but some of them made a big fuss about it, which wasn't pleasant. To avoid spoiling your trip, just say no to the photos if you aren't interested.

We did the tour on a ship. It takes nearly 2 hours for the round trip. You get a chance to see istanbul along the beautiful bosphorous.

Private tour with family the crew were friendly I found the captain knowledgeable and was able to give some brief history of some buildings along Bosporus. Booking and communication was efficient and found it professional. Family enjoyed the tour, got accurate location to where it get the yacht from.

A cruise along the Bosphorus is one of the best ways to see the city from a different angle. You pass palaces, mosques, old wooden houses, and modern bridges all in one ride. Whether you do a short public ferry or a longer sunset cruise, the views are stunning—especially with tea in hand. It’s relaxing, scenic, and gives you a real sense of how Istanbul connects two continents. You can use your Istanbul card for go from one place to another, or visit the Prince’s islands for a longer tour in the Sea of Marmara.
